    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This was Shreyas Talpade's first movie to enter Bollywood.
    • Goofs
      At the start of the movie when Iqbal practices bowling in the field, he closes his eyes and imagines a crowds roar as if in a stadium. He can never imagine this since he has never heard it. He clearly doesn't know what a crowds roar is like and can never have even the faintest idea about it since he is deaf and dumb since birth.
