The Indian Cricket team’s victory at the 1983 World Cup in England has been one of the much talked about moments in the sporting history of our country. This was the first ever time that any team apart from the West Indies ever won the world cup. And it was the first time ever, that an Indian team won any prominent tournament.It’s almost as this win taught India to win!

The film which follows this incredible journey of a bunch of players from a low-ranked team, who went on to beat the big stalwarts of the game, is produced by Phantom Films, Vishnu Vardhan Induri of Vibri Media, Reliance Entertainment and Kabir Khan Films.
