beetle Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Biopic is not like a national award that one has to be most deserving of it. Biopic will be made on people who have charisma,who have great following and who can interest people into watching it. Dhoni has all off these. He may not be the most talented or even the most successful...but he has lead a damn interesting life and people seem interested in his life. sscomp32 and sandeep 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lannister Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 There's hardly any inspirational being a Cricketer unless you are Sachin. A tier 3 or 4 player would get paid more than, say, the Olympic silver medalist PV Sindhu. Their route to glory is just too easy and in the end they lose any morality they have after tasting the riches. May be this is what Gambhir meant to say, but ended up using the wrong example. He knows better than anyone here what life a Cricketer leads. Ironhide, gakgupta, Bigg Brother and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New guy Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Biopics are made on interesting stories. Of course some masala is always added. Plus there are plenty of war movies out there already. As someone said above, Kapil Dev would have made an excellent biopic. His life story was interesting unlike Gavaskar or Sachin's. Also, they should make a comedy movie about Rohit Sharma's career starring Varun Dhawan Edited September 20, 2016 by New guy Mosher, sandeep, MechEng and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He arguably broke the biggest barrier in Indian cricket . Also he is from a lower middle class family which is a massive difference. First Dhoni might have struggled to make it coming from a small town,but that alone doesn't warranty a Biopic. Dhoni was a beneficiary of a changing attitude of selecting players during the Ganguly-Wright-Chappell-Dravid era,it wasn't like he was a Don Bradman incarnate that selection committee couldn't look the other way....He was a WK-Batsman which was the need of the hour and he was at the right place at the right time. He grabbed his opportunity with both hands,had a marketable personality and also a lot of skill which no one denies that's about it so kudos to him. It wasn't like he came from abject poverty,didn't get 2 meals in a day and still struggled to become a cricketer. Yeah he is inspirational on many accounts but the fact that he is getting a biopic before many others reeks of self-promotion. Had a neutral person made a movie about Azhar rather than he promoting himself,I would have been ok with that as there is a story there which is the biggest scandal in cricket.

We are talking about a story for movie not voting for best cricketer ever. He may not be Don incarnation but he came from a small town and won (or captained if u want to have ) India the world after three decades .That's the most Bollywood story ever lol You don't need to belong only to poor family to face struggles in India.Most youngsters coming from small towns and villages face massive struggles to establish themselves in any sector in India .Regardless of poor of lower middle class (which is probably where the larger share if Indians belong anyway ).So it's easy to relate to him or be inspired by him. He is easily the most inspirational story in Indian cricket after Kapil . sscomp32 and beetle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was because of Yuvraj that we were able to win both the World cups in 2007 and 2011. Clarke captained Australia to 2015 World cup win, but you hardly see anyone giving credit to him. Mitchell Starc was the central focus of the tourney. gakgupta, Mosher and Sujithmb13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbestfriend Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Stop accusing GG of jealousy..He has always been a strong supporter of Indian Army, he tweets a lot about Army and dedicated his MoM in WC to army. He might have genuinely felt that cricketer's biopic is less important than death in the army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sujithmb13 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 This guy is just the Pele of Cricket.A Myth has been created they won the world cups for their countries from nowhere but those who followed those wc knows that they were not the best player of those tournament nor the best player of the their team. It was Garrincha and Yuvraj who were more instrumental.He is the most consistent odi player after Sachin(With Kohli likely to eclipse him).I give that.But all the hype is on that WC which is absurd.Btw Gambhir's comment is not in a good taste. sscomp32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sujithmb13 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) His 2011 exploits is nowhere near Kapil Paji's in 1983.Kapil just dragged that medocre team which had no chance against WI,Eng,Aus and even PAK.It was just the biggest shock of Indian cricket.India were in the cusp of getting knocked out and he played that innings against Zim.Dhoni's team were favs from the word go and He just performed in d final.That's about dat.

BeautifulGame Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 The real disappointment in all this is his bitter attitude in media is only tarnishing his legacy of an excellent ODI batsman that he was for India . This is how Pakistani players behave I would expect lot more professionalism from Indian cricketers.Our cricketers like Sachin Dravid Kumble etc have set the bar for professionalism very high he should really remember. sscomp32, Rasgulla and rkt.india 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NameGoesHere Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I like Gambhir, but that's beside the point of what I want to say, which is: In a decade or so he's going to have a significant political career. National. Just a prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
