The 63-year-old former cricket superstar has arrived in Melbourne for the screening of a movie about the World Cup victory he led India to in 1983.
Two of India’s greatest forms of entertainment – cricket and Bollywood movies – are undergoing disruption that enables both to serve wider audiences and cater to different tastes, former national captain and fast bowler Kapil Dev said on Friday.
“There is a place for everybody. You have a Test match, you have T20, you have one-day – there is no shortage. As long as you find different people to come out, whatever they like they can see it,” Dev said. The Victorian government-funded festival, now in its 13th year, is one of a handful of film festivals around the world to make full use of streaming technology, having created its own downloadable app that allows free screening of 120-plus films, documentaries and short films.
