Started watching Million Dollar Arm casually, had all the makings of a formula movie. they had cast one actor each from recently successful India based movies Slum Dog Millionaire & Life of Pi. AR Rahman had been promptly asked to do the music score, and was full of sports movie clichés.. Another attempt to cash in on the billion plus Indian audience! I thought.... Slowly the movie began drawing my attention (from whatsapp), sports genre being my favourite and when I was beginning to think "OK - not so bad ending"... was surprised when learnt at the end that all this was based on true story. But real aha momemt came when one of my favourite ARR composition "Thirakata Katukulle" started played as credit roll background score..I was converted from skeptic to a approver of this movie.. good watch. formula works..after all
