Dhoper Chop! A Date with Bengali Movies Bollywood Reviews Hollywood News

Written, Directed and Produced by Chandan Arora, Striker is a tale of international Carrom competition.

Carrom, played with pieces on a Carrom Board, is a very Indian game. The origins of carrom are uncertain, although western sources suggest that the game is of Indian, Portuguese colonial, or Burmese origin.Variations of the game played with a cue stick similar to those used in billiards-type games may have independently developed in several cases as a mixture of billiards and shuffleboard. The game is very popular in India, and in Punjabi it is called fatta. Similar games are played throughout the world, and may or may not share common origins with carrom. In Denmark a similar game called bob is played with cues rather than fingers.There is a carrom-like game also played with cues in China. Games similar to carrom appear all over Asia, for example vindi vindi in Fiji and szhe szhe in Israel. Some variants make use of discarded objects instead of fashioned playing pieces; bottle caps are used for games similar to carrom in both Mexico and Java. Various North American games bear a resemblance to (and may be related to) carrom, including crokinole, pitchnut and pichenotte.
