Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, said it was fantastic to watch the biopic as it was made from Tendulkar's point of view. "Sachin A Billion Dreams is fantastic. It is quite different from what all of us are used to watching. It's Sachin's side of the story and what he felt at different instances throughout his career.
"The movie speaks about what he went through, what were his challenges and it was interesting to get the comments from people close to him, people who watched him over a period and the family members and close friends," said Dhoni.
