Review:  JB Bernstein (Hamm) has all the trappings of wealth - a big house, an enviable lifestyle Bachelor and elegant sports car. But these are the fruits of past successes. Today, he and his partner aash (Mandvi) find it more difficult to find and pay for new talent in the face of fierce competition from other agents. Bernstein was not a cricket fan. He makes fun of the game, but a night of bowling action you see on the screen during a game gives you a kind of eureka moment. Already a world of difference in mechanics, both fast bowling pitch and high speed are common reasons. What would be the next star baseball pitcher is in the sub-continent?
So with the help of the financial silver (Tzi Ma) Chang and a one-year period, JB takes veteran scout Ray (Arkin) on a reality show-meets-talent hunt in Mumbai, Agra, Jaipur , Kolkata, Bangalore and Goa. This is the unlikely likely Rinku and Dinesh (Sharma, Mittal) are emerging as potential. Bernstein foot soldier / Translator Amit (Pitobash) accompanies the return to the United States, where in Los Angeles, Rinku and Dinesh are the proverbial fish out of water. It did not take long to fit, thanks to the friendly attention of a friend and love interest of JB, Brenda (Bell).

Of course, there are all the usual clichés you a movie that India sees through the lens Western'd wait. The crowded streets claustrophobically chaotic food horns and giving Bernstein races. But these stereotypes are expertly handled by Gillespie to make the whole package very reassuring. Rahman's music enhances the dramatic moments of the film very well. JB also teaches you to change you to get the best from his charges. Based on a true story, is a film about hope, perseverance, believe in yourself and the importance of traveling in comparison with destiny.
