It is pleasant feeling which I am taking home after watching IQBAL. All these years, after playing this great game and not trying to coach upcoming youngster. This film was a message for me. India not only need IQBAL at this moment, we need good films like this. I wish entire staff all the best and hope you make many more IQBAL's." -
