MUMBAI: Romedy Now will premiere John Lee Hancock directed, Sandra Bullock starrer The Blind Side in India on 24 January 2015 at 9 pm.

The Blind Side is a tale of Michael ‘Big Mike’ Oher (Quinton Aaron), who was abandoned at a young age and left to wander the streets with only a plastic bag of his most treasured possessions; as he longed for a sense of familiarity and kinship. The film follows Oher from his impoverished upbringing and the many trials and tribulations he faces throughout his childhood.

Leah Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) is a wealthy, strong-minded Southern woman who upon seeing Michael Oher staggering along an empty Memphis Street, shivering from the cold, takes him under her wing. From their very first encounter, Leigh Anne recognizes Michael’s true potential and looks to him as one of her own. Leigh Anne’s motherly instincts and unabashed personality comforts Michael, who was separated from his drug-addicted mother at the mere age of seven.

The Blind Side is a tale of friendship and family, and the close bond shared between a mother and her son.

Bullock was praised for her steadfast performance in the 2009 motion picture, and went on to win both an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Actress.
