Zee Classic to air the inspiring story of ‘Iqbal’ under ‘India’s Finest Films’ on 4th May 2018 at 10 PM


Napolean Hill had once said, “There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.” True to these words, is the Bollywood movie Iqbal which is the story of a farmer’s son who is deaf and mute and has an undying passion for cricket. Despite his limitations and being discouraged by his father, he seeks the tutelage of an ex-cricketer to achieve his dream. Iqbal marks Shreyas Talpade’s debut in Bollywood and also stars Naseeruddin Shah and Shweta Prasad in pivotal roles. Produced by Subhash Ghai and directed by Nagesh Kukunoor, Zee Classic with its proposition Woh Zamana Kare Deewana will air this inspirational movie on Friday, 4th May 2018 at 10pm, under the banner of ‘India’s Finest Films’.
In a nation obsessed with cricket lives a farmer named Anwar Khan (Yatin Karyekar) who loathes the sport but his wife Saida (Prateeksha Lonkar) is a true cricket lover. A heavily pregnant Saida, while watching an interesting match with the entire village, suddenly goes into labour and little Iqbal (Shreyas Talpade) is born. A deaf and mute Iqbal who harbours the dream of becoming a cricketer approaches Guruji (Girish Karnad) who owns a sports centre. Guruji trains the youth to play cricket. He lets Iqbal join his team until a dispute flares up with one of the richest team members and Iqbal is forced to leave. His only support now is a drunkard Mohit (Naseeruddin Shah) who happens to be an ex-cricket.
Will an abashed ex-cricketer Mohit be able to help Iqbal achieve his dreams?
