10) LAGAAN
Yet another Aamir Khan starrer, Lagaan was directed Ashutosh Gowariker.The film was shot in a village near Bhuj.The film is set in the Victorian period of India’s colonial British Raj and revolves around the peasants from a barren village who are oppressed high taxes imposed their rulers.
They attempt to persuade the British officers to reduce the taxes because of poor agricultural production. Instead, a wager is offered: If their village team beats a British team in a game of cricket, their taxes for three years would be cancelled. After accepting this wager, the villagers face the arduous task of learning an alien game and playing for a result that will change their village’s destiny.
Lagaan received critical acclaim and awards at international film festivals, as well as many Indian film awards. It became the third Indian film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film after Mother India (1957) and Salaam Bombay!(1988). It was one of the biggest box office hits of 2001.
A movie which touches the heart so very well.
9)Chain kulli ki main kulli
Directed by Kittu Saluja, it stars Zain Khan and Rahul Bose in the leads. The film’s title is taken from lines spoken Amitabh Bachchan’s character in the 1982 film Satte Pe Satta.
The film is based on the Hollywood movie Like Mike in which a 13-year-old boy finds sneakers once belonging to NBA legend Michael Jordan. The film features music Salim-Sulaiman and lyrics Irfan Siddiqui. Cricketer Kapil Dev also makes a cameo appearance in the film.
8) Patiala house
Patiala house is the movie of bollywood,s bestest actor Akshay Kumar and he doesnt fail to in the role.This movie will bring tears to your eyes definitely.It is one of the bestest sports movies I have ever seen.
At a broader level, the film gives a subtle social message of breaking boundaries of regionalism and nationalism.Patiala House doesn’t need an all-Indian or an all-Asian team, like in the John Abraham – Arshad Warsi starrer football film Goal , to incite nationalistic sentiments in the viewer. Even as an Indian audience, the director compellingly makes you root for an NRI who plays for the England cricket team and defeats Australia.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s music is refreshing and the theme song that frequently plays in the background adds value to the proceedings. Santosh Thundiyil’s cinematography is competent and Manan Sagar’s editing is just perfect. Remo D’Souza smartly choreographs the song Rola Pe Gaya as an Indo-Western fusion.
7) Dhan dhana dhan goal
It also focuses on football. If you are a football fan in India, you would know what it exactly feels like to see such movie.The scene especially, where the football coach takes them to visit Old Trafford Stadium, home of Manchester United(a football club), brought tears to my eyes because of my emotions attached to the club.
6 Mary kom
Mary Kom is a loud, overdramatic Bollywood adaptation that is more inspired than based on the boxer’s life but there’s no denying that Priyanka Chopra has lived this part.It is a very good movie and a must watch for people so that they dont lose hope and go on pursuing what they want without caring what people say about them.
5)Sultan
The film focuses on Sultan Ali Khan, a fictional wrestling champion from Haryana whose successful career creates a rift in his personal life.When I saw it,I mentally appraised it as Salman Khan,s best movie. It has action,love,comedy, romance and every element of a typical bollywood movie.It really is a very motivational movie about sports.
4) Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Undoubtedly one of the bestest bIopics ever made.It is the Biopic of Milkha singh,India,s sports star.The story is based on the life of Milkha singh an Indian athlete who was a national champion runner and an Olympian. It stars Farhan Akhtar in the lead role with pavan malhotra and Art Malik in supporting roles and Sonam Kapoor in a cameo.

The film received the National film award for best film on other social issues.

The Biopic of the master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar is a very very touching movie.Although it is a story we all know,one couldn’t just stop being amazed at how wonderful the journey of this man has been.It is truly a must see sports motivational film.Sachin himself acts in the movie.
1 M.S. DHONI AN UNTOLD STORY
M.S. Dhoni,s biopic is an epic.Sushant SIngh rajput plays the role of MS Dhoni.It beautifully describes the hardships in the lives of people and what they have to do to achieve their dreams and how to do it!The first thing is believing in yourself.
