'Beyond All Boundaries' Gripping But Lacks Historical Essence

The script seamlessly meshes the three stories that are accompanied by talking heads like; the former cricket administrator Makarand Waingankar, cricketers Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Sourav Ganguly, Sahil Kukreja, journalist Ayaz Memon and a local politician, Sanjay Potnis, who give an insight into the mass frenzy.

Visually, cinematographer Jeremy Guy and his crew ably capture the maddening and intense moments with clarity. Some of the shots are really good, especially when Sudhir cycles back home from Kolkata to Bihar, after the World Cup match. The static frames capturing Sudhir cycling against the backdrop of the sunrise and sunset are vibrant. These wide angle shots with sharp and crystal clear audio are worth a mention.

Overall, with editor Soham Mehta’s smooth transitions and effective background score by Daniel Walter and Christopher Carmichael, this well-etched documentary is entertaining, but lacks historical value or essence.
