Iqbal (Hindi: इक़्बाल) is a 2005 Indian coming-of-age sports drama film written and directed by Nagesh Kukunoor.[1] Produced by Subhash Ghai,
under "Mukta Searchlight Films", the story follows a cricket-obsessed
deaf and mute boy from a remote Indian village as he aims to overcomes
difficulties to become a cricketer and fulfill his dream of playing for the Indian national cricket team. The film received the National Film Award for Best Film on Other Social Issues.[2]
The film was screened retrospective on 18 August 2016 at the Independence Day Film Festival jointly presented by the Indian Directorate of Film Festivals and Ministry of Defense, commemorating 70th Indian Independence Day.[3]
Iqbal's sister, Khadija (Shweta Prasad), however, helps him try out for a nearby academy run by Guruji (Girish Karnad), an influential former India captain, who accepts him for his talent. However, when Iqbal competes with a rich boy, Kamal, who is also the star of the academy, he is thrown out by Guruji out of fear of Kamal's father, who bankrolls the academy. Iqbal seeks help from the local drunkard, Mohit (Naseeruddin Shah), who was once a great cricketer and persuades him to be his coach. They are able to train in a nearby field, using Iqbal's buffaloes (named after actual members of the Indian cricket team) as fielders.
Mohit trains Iqbal and gets him a place on the Andhra Pradesh Ranji Trophy team, despite Iqbal not having any previous cricketing experience. Iqbal plays marvelously for the team, which was a weak team before he joined, and is soon noticed by the press and cricket selectors alike. However, when the final match of the season pits Iqbal against his rival, Kamal, Guruji tries to bribe Iqbal to bowl badly so that the national team scouts at the game would select Kamal for the national cricket team. Iqbal succumbs to his offer, out of concern for his father, who is facing financial difficulties and may lose his lands. Luckily, a sports agent is able to offer him a better deal, and Iqbal bowls with his usual fiery pace and wins the match for his team. Surprisingly he also impresses the onlooking national team selector Kapil Dev (in a special guest role), and wins a place in the Indian national cricket team.
In the end Iqbal is shown donning the Indian Cricket Team's Blue Jersey and walking in the ground to make his international debut.

Storyline
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. When Guruji finds out
about Iqbal's interest in the game, he recruits him, but lets him go
when a dispute flares up ... Written by

A Simple Heartwarming Story About Hope And Glory
'Iqbal' is a charming
down-to-earth film directed by one of today's finest directors Nagesh
Kukunoor. The story revolves around a deaf and mute young man who dreams
of becoming a cricketer. It boasts of a talented cast that includes
Naseeruddin Shah (awesome), Girish Karnad (very good), Shreyas Talpade
(natural), Shweta Prasad (natural), Yatin Karyekar (decent) and
Prateeksha Lonkar (sublime) all delivering memorable performances.
Cinematography is excellent and gives a realistic spacious feel to the
village setting. Music is awesome and background score is very pleasant
as it contributes to the mood. I especially like the uplifting song,
'Aashayein'.
On the downside, Kapil Dev's appearance is annoying as he can't act and his presence doesn't add anything. Some may feel that the story has been done numerous times before but in my opinion Kukunoor's treatment and execution gives it a unique touch. For example, I loved how he portrayed the relationship between the mother and her children and the two siblings. The chemistry between the actors only make their interactions more real. This is also one of the few films that focuses on the sibling relationship. Iqbal's sister is not the typical Bollywood 'behen' who runs around screaming 'bhaiyya bhaiyya' (brother brother). Actually all the characters are very well written.
'Iqbal's main strength is its soul. This is a must see for everyone and one that can be watched with the family. It's an uplifting movie that brings a smile to the face. Always believe in your dreams and have faith in yourself to make them come true. And to parents, always believe in your children's dreams and capability. That's 'Iqbal'.
