A poor village in colonial India is given the chance to change their destiny if they can defeat their harsh British rulers at cricket. But first they have to learn how to play the game...

In true Bollywood tradition, the film is nearly fours long! Apparently you don’t notice the time but we will have at least one interval. I am checking on it’s suitablitiy for under 9’s as I would like to bring my boys for the first half. It is rated PG for language and some violence but has been scheduled by Channel 4 on a weekend afternoon.
Please let us know if you would like to come as tickets are limited and it will help our catering the cricket club tea. Fancy dress encouraged – cricket whites or saris!
Thanks,
