His coach Ramakant Achrekar was also a part of the evening.
Even Sudhir Kumar, one of Tendulkar's biggest fans, was there, waving the national flag with his body painted in tri-colour.
Another cricket legend and a former teammate, 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.
He said it was "nice to see Anjali bhabhi speaking" on what Tendulkar thought about all the different things.
"What to die for are the family videos because that is certainly what I miss because I don't have lot of family videos. There were quite a few videos where Paaji (Tendulkar) is playing with the kids, moments with Anjali bhabhi and his parents," said Dhoni.
Nita Ambani, who is the co-owner of IPL franchise Mumbai Indians, said she got "so emotional" after watching the movie.
"I am a huge fan of Sachin and this movie made us understand the struggles and hard work behind making of Sachin Tendulkar. I am full of admiration for what he has achieved in this life time. Congratulations Sachin!," said Nita.
Amitabh Bachchan said it was a "fantastic film".
"We all know about the life of Sachin but what the film has done is show how somebody from very humble beginning can put up a fight and make this country so proud and I feel just so happy," said Sr Bachchan.
Tendulkar's daughter Sara understood the magnitude of her father's achievements only after watching the film.
"After watching the movie it has made me truly understand what everyone else thinks of him and respects him. My favourite part of the movie where they speak about my parents meeting and the whole romance which I think is cute and also their wedding scene is really nice," she added.
