A Jockey’s Story Of Love, Betrayal & Pain




This is the story of S Mani—a story of love, betrayal and pain. A story of a jhuggi boy who rode on to become a coveted jockey. A rags-to-riches story of a man who fell in love with a girl with whom he had grown in the same locality. The fairy tale of a famous rider who married his lady love against the wishes of his parents and hoped of living happily thereafter. Samikshan Dutta Choudhury of Indian Sports News tracks the rider.


At first instance it seems to be a perfect masala mix for a Bollywood potboiler, but after spending a couple of hours with this man, one can't help but ponder on the extent of degeneration of human values where your beloved ones leave you in lurch to fend for yourself in this unknown world when you need them the most.
