Review of Stumped

Stumped (2003)
7/10
Thoughtful movie about the world of cricket
27 November 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Cricket is the national sport in India, even though hockey is also a national sport. If cricket was an Olympic event, India would sweep the medal count. If cricket was a spelling bee event, India would sweep the podium.

Stumped deserved to do better at the box office, and at first I was surprised it didn't do huge box office, especially with Sachin Tendulkar having a cameo! Sachin Tendulkar, the legend himself! Interestingly, Mr Tendulkar had a restaurant called Sachin's in Mulund (the "Prince of Suburbs" in the outskirts of Mumbai) but it didn't draw enough patrons to be a long-term sustaining business venture. Maybe because it was located in the Nirmal Shopping Centre where the security guards are insensitive brutes, but maybe because not enough Mulund residents had enough disposable income to fork out for meals where you don't have forks if you know what I mean.
