Iqbal Page #5

Synopsis: India - a Nation obsessed with cricket - and it is not very often one comes across anyone who loathes cricket as much as farmer Anwar Khan, who feels that it is a waste of time watching some grown men playing, not only getting paid, but costing the nation millions of lost work hours. His family, especially his wife, Saida, does not quite agree with him. As a matter of fact, she broke water when watching a cricket match with a TV set perched on a branch of a tree with almost the entire village in attendance. This is how Iqbal was born, followed by the birth of his sister, Khadija. Iqbal, though deaf and dumb, shared his mother's and sister's passion for cricket, he would tend to the buffaloes, who though all female, had been named after male cricketers, including Kapil Dev. While tending to them, he would stop and watch youngsters being trained by the renowned Guruji. When Guruji finds out about Iqbal's interest in the game, he recruits him, but lets him go when a dispute flares up betw

That annoying agent.

I'm Satish Bhatawadekar.

Where the hell?

After a lackluster morning,

Iqbal has suddenly come alive...

taking 5 wickets in a fiery

post lunch session...

and single handedly bringing

Andhra back into the game.

As the players take their last drink

break, the match's poised as a nail

biter

...18 runs and one wicket.

One wicket and Andhra will win the

Ranji

Looking for someone?

I don't know what trick

you're trying to pull...

...but be warned.

Your father and your future...

are dangling by a very thin thread.

Don't do something foolish

and risk both.

Let Kamal score his century

and win the match.

Everybody back... back.

You've done your bit,

I'm going with the spinners.

This is not street cricket, Iqbal.

There is a certain procedure,

a certain logic.

Kamal has been hitting

you in this match...

...and he doesn't play spin well.

Sorry, the ball is worn

and I'm going with Doshi.

What are these two doing?

What are you doing?

It's both our necks on the line.

The boy's a bloody genius.

What?

-Nothing.

"The Trap!"

Mind games with your gut...

not with your teacher!

It's a shame that the

selectors didn't show up.

If taking 12 wickets and winning the

finals doesn't warrant a place on

the...

...national them tham then

I'm not sure what does.

Stay out of this Mohit,

this is between him and I.

We had a deal.

Very touching, the student

standing up for his teacher.

You've made a big mistake

going against me.

I will make it my purpose in life to

ensure that you don't make the team

ever.

Now you and this drunk can

play cricket in your fields...

And speaking of fields, I'll make

sure your father loses everything.

Hey Iqbal, why aren't you out there

Hey, Guruji, long time since

I signed any of your boys.

It was tough but I got

all the paperwork done.

Sign right there.

And as I said we put our

money where our mouth is,

although I must say we have

a pretty big mouth. Ha, ha...

...okay bad joke.

Fifty lakhs!

I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

I just wanted to meet the

Koilpad Express face to face.

It takes a bowler to truly

fathom what you did today.

Pleasure to meet you, sir.

Are you the boy's father?

-Only on the field, sir.

Is it true that you have a

buffalo named after me?

My favorite buffalo.

I'm honored.

Kapil, we had no idea you were

coming.

You missed a great match.

Actually, I watched the entire match.

Iqbal was terrific.

Let's go and have dinner.

Kamal was in terrific form,

brilliant innings.

I think he's peaked at the right

time.

Sir shall I leave?

Well there goes your place

on the team.

No problem

I think the Indian team

needs such a bowler.

But...
