But too much is too bad, and the industry has squeezed out the genre like a well-served tube of toothpaste. Thankfully, in 2016, director Neeraj Pandey’s film was a carefully crafted world-building process, showing Dhoni’s unusual journey towards cricketing greatness. Don’t tell me he didn’t know the outcome of the 1983 cricket World Cup final! The Formula One movie Rush (James Hunt vs Nikki Lauda) and the underrated tennis film Borg vs McEnroe (Bjorn Borg vs John McEnroe) are intense while depicting on and off-the-court/circuit battles. Going forward, I wish there are films on sporting stars from the southern part of India.
