1983
You do not have to be a Sachin to enjoy cricket- Dinesh Kumar, yentha.com
The movie starts with the cricket we see in our villages. The players are in the local attires of mundu (a garment worn around the waist in Kerala) with their crude language and, most important of all, enjoying the game. Malayalis will probably experience a few nostalgic moments while watching this movie. Though the movie revolves around cricket, it does portray life in the suburbs of Kerala.
The title ‘1983’ is apt for the movie since this is, more or less, the time when cricket fervor reached its height. The director, Abrid Shine’s debut work has few flaws which can be noticed. The movie has a continuous flow, though it narrates the long story of two generations of cricket lovers (the second generation is represented by a child). It is a wonder, how such a strong passionate subject has been peppered with humor.
