It was sporty, emotional, funny and patriotic; all at the same time.
An absolute Gem of a movie. Based on real life events surrounding Mahavir Singh Phogat and Phogat wrestling sisters. So inspiring. If you have a Growth Mindset, watch this movie.
If only every Indian movie was like this, there wouldn´t be such a stereothypical idea of them.
I think this is my favorite Bollywood-movie. I’m not absolutely crazy about it, but it actually has a solid and inspirational story with some great character growth. I even caught myself tapping my foot to the ‘Dangal, Dangal’ song. Honestly though, Aamir Khan’s physical transformation might be the most impressive thing about this.
Too long, too predictable and too slow.
After the 161 minutes were over, I didn't hold anything majorly negative about 'Dangal' as it does improve as it goes on. However, the first chunk of this film is yawnful, with the story falling to initially inspire - just a guide on how to be a bad parent, in anything. The ending is also pretty cartoonish, with the broom cupboard stuff.
The cast performances are, in fairness, very good. Aamir Khan does great as Mahavir, while Fatima Sana Shaikh (and Zaira Wasim) are impressive as Geeta. Sanya Malhotra (and Suhani Bhatnagar) deserve praise also.
With that noted, It isn't really anything all that fresh for Bollywood sport biopics either. It follows similar beats to 2014's 'Mary Kom' and 2015's 'Brothers'... even 2011's 'Patiala House'.
For me, this 2016 production just feels so bloated and forced that it hampers the, admittedly noteworthy, hearty narrative. The leads are the only strong points to it in my opinion. It has been very highly received by others, so what do I know? Opinions and all that.
It was funny,emotional and inspiring.
