HATTR!CK (NR)

synopsis

Using the Cricket World Cup Tournament, to be played in the Caribbean in 2007, as a backdrop, "Hat Trick" looks at what happens to five sets of lives during the span of the tournament. The fifth being the journey of the Indian Cricket team in its quest for the Cup. Hat trick means three consecutive successes in a row. Aptly, the film is also about three success stories--about three people who may start as underdogs but go on to becoming winners. It is about every element that helps them achieve their victories. Andm, it is about one thread that holds commonality between these stories--cricket. Hat trick opens with stories at the onset of Cricket World Cup 2007 and finishes with their triumph, which is simultaneous with Indian team's triumph in the World Cup. As the Indian team moves ahead in the World Cup, the characters in the story journey through their lives, realize their faults and correct them to finally turn out winners.
