In its next web series, ‘Bandon Mein Tha Dum,’ Voot Select is gearing ready to take cricket fans on a nail-biting journey of the 2020/21 India tour of Australia.Ahead of its release, the platform launched the riveting trailer of the Neeraj Pandey directorial at its launch event in Mumbai, to give viewers a sneak-peek into India’s historic win against Australia, the world’s no. 1 Test side. The web series will soon premiere exclusively on Voot Select.
Bandon Mein Tha Dum is a documentary that follows the tale of the Indian team down under. From being 36 all out to the historic Brisbane Bash, the series was a script straight out of a Hollywood thriller.
Coupled with a powerful script, behind-the-scenes footage, candid narratives from the winning squad like Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Cheteshwar Pujara, Mohammad Siraj, Rishabh Pant and Hanuma Vihari, their coaches, as well as journalists who covered the series, ‘Bandon Mein Tha Dum’ sheds light on the trials and tribulations that the Indian cricket team had to navigate ahead of their unforgettable victory against Team Australia at their home ground of Gabba, where they hadn’t lost a Test match for 32 years.
Talking about how ‘Bandon Mein Tha Dum’ came about, Neeraj Pandey shared, “Bandon Mein Tha Dum is an epic tale that outlines ‘Miracles do happen’; and it happened in the India-Australia Test series 2020/2021 which culminated in India’s stunning defeat of the world no.1 Test side at their hallowed home turf of Gabba where they hadn’t lost a test match for 32 years.
“The series was won by India in such a manner that it not only captured the imagination of the entire nation but also provided tremendous joy to the cricketing and wider sporting community all over the world at a time when people were still trying to come to terms with the devastation Covid-19 had brought in their lives. The human stories in this cricketing fairy tale elevated the series beyond a cricketing audience and created huge euphoria across all segments of the Indian society.”
“The nation was gripped and it was therefore befitting for us to bring the story to the people of India of one of the greatest comebacks in the history of sports and cricket. Nothing excited me more than retelling this story which went beyond high-quality cricket, hard work, perseverance, determination, commitment, sportsmanship and decoding the x-factor through the mind of the players which repeated the David Vs Goliath story,” he added.
The documentary is set to release on June 16
