While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
In scripting , direction , acting and technical aspects this film is perfect but digging deep into the story , you will find many in the script and the story looks too fake . First thing is Mahavir Singh Phogat's character . The film tries hard to make his character as good as possible . In the scene where Geeta and Babita goes to a friend's marriage and she explains them how their father does right by forcing them to wrestle is completely nonsense . It is clearly a cheap attempt in making his character good. Now , as a biography it is completely fake .The character of Coach Pramod Kadam was completely fictional . There were seven coaches in National Academy of sports and no one by the name of Pramod Kadam.There was no such villain in Geeta's real life. And it highly unlikely to believe that the coach in such a big institute gives wrong training . But I always thought as a film it is quite perfect despite being fake. But , I was proved wrong when I read Baradwaj Rangan's review . (Following are his views on the film ) . I came to know this is highly fairy tale like film . She follows father's advice and wins , she neglects him and she lose. In just one day , Mahavir learns that his girls are strong and decides to make them wrestlers . This film has a very few shades of dark . The atmosphere was always like she will win at the end . So, it scores neither as a biography nor as a fiction.
The movie is really a masterpiece. I'm very touched when I watched it. This movie shows that a girl can do anything even better than a boy. It's very inspiring. Thanks to Aamir Khan for such movies. He has done great job.
Dangal is the name of a wrestling competition in India. Former wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat (Aamir Khan) discovers that his two daughters have a natural skill in grappling as they beat up two boys who were teasing them.So he decides to train them as wrestlers and enter them into wrestling competitions where they have to fight others boys as competition for girls did not exist. In the face of ridicule his daughters impress the onlookers with their strength and skill.Dangal inspired by films such as Rocky and The Karate Kid have training montages set to music, a stern father who coaches them to a strict rigorous schedule. The father then loses his daughters to a national coach who trains the daughters for international competitions but gets the girls to unlearn what their father has taught them which causes a crisis of confidence.The film has good performances from actresses Fatima Sana Shaikh (Geeta Phogat) and Sanya Malhotra (Babita) who looks to have done a lot of intense training for their roles. Aamir Khan's character is too one-note with very little shade to his performance and I think the film suffers as a result along with the long running time which is par for the course with Hindi films.This is an inspiring film of the rise of female wrestling in a patriarchal society as the now young women enter the Commonwealth Games in Delhi and go for gold with their father helping them from the sidelines much to the irritation of the Indian team coach. The film is based on true events.
Amir Khan is back with a Bollywood vengeance -- 1st Class Artist. If you didn't catch him in another film named "PK", I suggest you do -- amazing film as well. "Dangal" inspires hope and courage, and it is very relatable, and that is the currency of the heart, and this film has a lot of heart. Superb film. Thank you for inspiring us to fight our obstacles.
