Now, as any sports lover would tell you, superstition is a very real thing in sports – especially when it comes to cricket in India.

The movie also stars Angad Bedi and Sanjay Kapoor. Interesting, and definitely humorous, the trailer hints that the romantic comedy is a near-exact adaptation from the novel.
