A down on his luck sports agent (Joe Hamm from the "Mad Men" tv series) goes to India to search for major league pitching arms to bring home and develop. He returns with two boys from Indian villages, who go through various cultural shocks on their way to major league baseball. This is a true story.
And well done. Great scenes of Mumbai and Indian villages, but this is not a Bollywood production. Its a Disney creation, and the various relationship developments are the story's focus. Changes all around for everyone involved. I can't say that the other actors are household names, except Alan Arkin, but you'll recognize a few of them.
You should see this one, but stay through the credits to see photos of the actual characters. And if you have never heard Indian rap music, that alone will be worth the ticket.
