Sports docudrama on Indian women cricket unveiled

Indian Sports Films, today unveiled India’s first sports docudrama, Poor Cousins of Million Dollar Babies, which premiered at the Press Club of Kolkata in a special screening for sports journalists and members of the media.
This 29 minutes docudrama takes us into the life, dressing rooms and minds of the Indian women’s cricket team. After doing successful rounds at international film festivals and receiving international encouragement and support for this pressing issue, Poor Cousins will now be officially launched in India following the screening in Kolkata.
Present at the screening, as the Guest of Honour, was actor Indraneil Sengupta. Anjum Chopra, internationally renowned women’s cricketer, introduced the film and its director Sunil Yash Kalra, an internationally acclaimed sports film-maker.
The movie featuring five members of the Indian women’s cricket team, including Anjum Chopra who is the protagonist, is a rib-tickling display of candid humour interspersed with drama and camaraderie, having all the makings of a Bollywood blockbuster except for the fact that this is no fictitious creation, rather, insightful real-life footage that transports the viewer backstage and behind the scenes into the dressing room of the women’s team, revealing a whole new world.
The launch was followed by the announcement of a nation-wide hunt for fresh talent in the sequel Poor Cousins Part II with Anjum and the India Sports Films team travelling to various cities in search of unique individuals with a zest to be part of an extraordinary journey.Poor Cousins Part.II will be intricately structured in its content and planned in its production for greater acceptance.
