Paulo Hyderabadi

when you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true That is what Paulo tells in The Alchemist.
Paulo is known world wide to write inspiring books which have changed millions of lives. Cinema sells dreams .. And our Nagesh Kukonoor has just done the same in Iqbal.
A guy from village, deaf and dumb. But dreams of making it big in Cricket, to wear that blue shirt and wear the Indian cap. As with any struggler or dreamer he goes through a phase where he decides to forget his dream.. cries his heart out.. and then life has answer.
He finds his guide.. Convinces him to be by his side and guide him to Indian side, Boy has huge amount of patience, persistence and most of all loves his dream. So much similar to Santiago in Alchemist. He believes his dreams, but when is frustrated and want to give up. Life sends a guide for him who takes him to his treasure. Paulo says life gives you answers only when you are desperate. Yes true, true in case of the boy Santiago, true for iqbal and very much true for Nagesh Kukunoor. He has matured as a director, from Hyderabad Blues to Iqbal.. A simple village , no BOLD talks, simplest but the cutest way of using Bhains for getting the right ball, Chitkule dialogues of the characters. Ohh a great experience. A wonderful movie. By the Way, why cant we see more of nasiruddin , he simply rocks. All in all iqbal is a feast , a simple fairy tale which makes you think, “yeah this can happen, y not”. Hats off Paulo hyderabadi
