Iqbal Page #2

Synopsis: India - a Nation obsessed with cricket - and it is not very often one comes across anyone who loathes cricket as much as farmer Anwar Khan, who feels that it is a waste of time watching some grown men playing, not only getting paid, but costing the nation millions of lost work hours. His family, especially his wife, Saida, does not quite agree with him. As a matter of fact, she broke water when watching a cricket match with a TV set perched on a branch of a tree with almost the entire village in attendance. This is how Iqbal was born, followed by the birth of his sister, Khadija. Iqbal, though deaf and dumb, shared his mother's and sister's passion for cricket, he would tend to the buffaloes, who though all female, had been named after male cricketers, including Kapil Dev. While tending to them, he would stop and watch youngsters being trained by the renowned Guruji.

Since he is a bowler he will

join your group, Ajit.

There is a huge difference...

...when there is a batsman between

you and the wickets isn't there?

Your pace is great...

...but if you can't wield

it like a weapon,

you might as well be tossing

lollypops.

Sorry, I translated

face instead of pace.

I said he must use his face as

a weapon and toss lollypops.

Sir, could you speak a little slowly?

Just tell him that it's not enough

to have natural talent,

it must be developed

and finely honed.

I guess I should be happy

that things have returned to normal.

What a lazy boy!

God make him more responsible.

Close your eyes.

Not this time for you, sweetie.

-Okay.

You a keep watch on dad.

-I don't need to...

...his snores can be heard

in the next village.

How you grip the ball is the starting

point from which everything else

follows.

For the next week we will

concentrate on your grip.

Kamal, if you're more interested

in his shoeless feet,

then I suggest two laps...

without shoes.

Iqbal come here.

Take this.

Come fast, come.

Khadija! What are you waiting for?

Go take your father's bag.

Yes, mother.

Dumb-ass!

Deaf ass...

...dumb and deaf ass.

Why don't you take you and your

sister's sorry asses out of here?

For your information, I can hear...

...and if you speak facing him

he can understand too.

You're so stupid.

What did he say?

Ass. Why the hell were you

not wearing a helmet?

I bet you were showing off.

Khadija, you and Iqbal

wait in my office.

I know it wasn't an accident.

I also know Kamal made fun of you...

...and Khadija.

But I've told you repeatedly

that you have to control your temper.

Only Kamal has a problem with me.

Well, he was the star here

until you showed up.

It just won't work.

No sir, you cannot do that.

This has been my dream, sir.

I've waited all my life for this

and...

My hands are tied, son.

There are other forces at work here.

Kamal's father is far too valuable

to the academy.

I've done all I can.

Please don't beg, son.

Please, just leave.

What happened?

What?

No, no. It's not me.

No, no. It's not me.

Yes... it's me.

That was a long time ago...

...in my previous life.

Okay... me... and you...

...what are you doing...

I don't understand anything.

I don't understand what you are

saying.

You must be out of your mind.

I am going to teach you to bowl?

It's just not possible kid.

What good is it?

You want to become like me?

...no no it's not possible... no

NO!

Now get out of here!

Go

Don't stop dreaming son.

Till when are you

going to do this? Huh?

I have the rest of my life to

drink...

...but you are wasting

the best years of your life.
