Awwal Number
Another Aamir Khan movie on Cricket. Directed by a diehard Cricket fan Dev Anand, Awwal Number was probably one of the first few movies that pioneered the theme of sports based jealousy, passion, love and the spirit. The story revolves around cricket where a new star Sunny (Aamir Khan) has been included in the team in place of another famous star Ronny (Aditya Pancholi). All this creates hatred in heart of Ronny against Sunny though Sunny respects him. In short, Awwal Number' had all drama that attracted Bollywood filmmakers to make films on themes like this.
Dil Bole Hadippa
"A girl dresses up as a boy to play cricket for the village team. There's romance and songs on the way". Viewers were amazed to see Rani Mukherjee playing Cricket onscreen in disguise as a male player. The movie, directed by debutant Anuraag Singh, tries to capture the spirit of the game and the aspirations of a sportsperson. It is the story of an ordinary girl who aspires to play cricket for the national team and to fulfil her dream, how she pretends to be a man to join an all-male cricket team.
