In 1983, the charismatic Kapil Dev (Ranveer Singh) led the Indian cricket team to its first World Cup victory at the hallowed Lord’s Cricket Ground in London against the West Indies, regarded at the time as invincible. A generation of Indian children was inspired to take up the game and, more broadly, to aim high in life; the anniversary is still celebrated, 38 years on. Kabir Khan’s Hindi epic tells this triumphant story with fastidious attention to detail – the actors trained for months with the real cricketers they were playing to understand the nuances of the sport – and a huge narrative sweep.
