STRIKER SIDDARTH

Director: Chandan Arora
Cast: Siddharth Narayan, Aditya Panscholi, Vidya Malavade, Padmapriya
Producer/Director: Indian Films-Studio 18
Release: on February 5

Set in a Bombay ghetto in the mid ‘80s and based on true-life accounts, Striker is a story of triumph of human spirit over indomitable odds. His patience and cool attitude are Surya’s biggest strengths. But life has ways of testing even the strongest of men! From the director of Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh and Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon, and top-lining Siddharth Narayan (of Rang De Basanti fame), Striker is the story of a carrom player who grows up on the fringes of a criminal existence but does not succumb to it.
Striker is not about good versus evil.It is the story of a friendship, life in the city of dreams in the 80s, and of a game that is common but non-existent. Quite similar to pool (conceptually), carrom is common among people from the middle and lower income groups in India.
Born into a poor family, ‘Surya’ played by actor Siddarth grows up with few luxuries. Poor health keeps him away him away from school and that is when his elder brother introduces him to carrom.
Winning the Junior Carrom Championship at 12 is not enough to keep Surya’s fire for the sport burning through adolescence. Hopes for a job in Dubai replace the passion for carrom, as Surya grows into a young man.
