Flipkart as usual was brilliant in shipping and packaging.
The product content was fantastic and I loved it a lot. However I would have preferred it to be on a DVD format with HD quality - of course would have paid more for it. So I would advise others to wait/search for HD quality DVD rather than this VCD.

The movie takes you down the memory lane. Good for people who follow cricket and not just watch it for a few stars.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality. Good quality DVD. Good resolution even on a large screen TV.

1. I never felt as if this was a documentary. Maybe I am so passionate about cricket that I never felt like leaving the theater.

If you have elders in your family,who love Cricket,this will certainly bring back some fond memories and a smile ....

All in all...a great package

"You don't need a helmet mon, you got a bat. Hit it away if it comes at you."

Perhaps the forebear to Fire in Babylon is Calypso Summer, which is about the West Indies touring Australia in 1960/61. Frank Worrell had become the first black captain of the West Indies and such was the impression his team made in Australia, that to this day, the two teams play for a trophy bearing his name.
Also Viv sounds like a cement mixer with gravel in it, very rich baritone.

Movie rating- 8(As a movie lov...

For all cricket lovers a must watch. And for all those who want to know a bit of cricketing history the golden period of cricket when matches were not about money only. This is a must watch. Lovely documentary.
