Watch Paan Singh Tomar For Free

Powerful

Better Late Then Never

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Made as a competently good biopic, the acting is well top notch. It is worth a watch just for Irfan Khan.I have not heard of this man, till I knew of this movie, its good to know of such sportsman and sad to know the tragedy. The fate of the country is such that a national champion is forgotten but a dacoit is made news easily. This is an ironic story and is told really very well. Dialogues are written extremely well. The dialect is just great, It brings out rawness to character and a flavor of its own to the whole script. The cinematography is done well, and the director sure has an eye for detail the way he has shown a few things, like a steeplechase race, dacoit's backdrop and the feuds in villages. Mind you this is a biopic and has to be handled in way to tell a real life character, there is no much added drama, at few places, it might have fallen bland too of course life is not so very interesting all times either. But all are pu together effectively to bring out a story that has a heart. We may not be in favor of Paan Singh by the end for what he has done, but fir sure he shall live on in the minds long after the movie is over.Watch it for Dialect/Dialogues and yes for Irfan Khan who may be sweeping many best actor awards for reprising this role and living it in a way thats so tough to do in terms of controlling emotions and thus exhibiting them at rare times.Liked it and I recommend such biopics be watched to know India and its diversity in a better way too. My rating is 4/5 for a movie that has been dared to be made and executed really well.

Cast: Irrfan Khan, Mahie Gill and Nawazuddin Siddiqui Director: Tigmanshu Dhulia This past weekend, I saw the movie Paan Singh Tomar. As it is based on a real incident happened in the life of national athlete, it was definitely a film to remember. Being from the Chambal region helped me a lot to understand the director's research work on local culture.This story is based on the life of famous and seven time's steeplechase national champion who became one of the most wanted Dacoits in Chambal Valley. The first half of the movie is a conversation between a journalist and Paan Singh Tomar while the other half depicts real frame. This interview of Paan led the government to take him seriously and get him to surrender as soon as possible.Overall this movie sends a great message that sportsmen aren't getting enough attention on and off the field which they deserve for bringing so many laurels to the nation. Same thing happened with Paan Singh when police denied his identity even when he showed his medals and said that they can't interfere in between until someone dies. Tigmanshu has succeeded in showing every aspect of the story. Making film in same Chambal valley has added a real touch to the film.Irfan has done justice to the character by showing excellent and professional acting skills. He depicted role of a guy from Chambal. Dialogues were very good. Mahie gill too has done some great work as a co star. Here Nawazuddin hasn't performed up to the mark. Since it is a biopic, the writer didn't have much work to do but he could have made it better by adding some important things to it.Cinematography is something very professional, the way they have used lighting in scene where journalist comes to interview Paan Singh is laudable. Other than that folk music has also added some reality to it, I noticed folk music playing in a loudspeaker at many places which you will commonly encounter these days in those kind of villages(though not in 1970's).

I saw this in a theatre. The acting in this film is the shinning point. Especially the main actor Irfaan khan made a great impression on my mind by his excellent acting skill. Irfaan excellently potrayed the emotion of a "runner" who is suffering from pain, frustration and exhaustion, but he is not giving up. The rest is the portrayal of a man who has never had it easy in his life but nonetheless keeps his heart. The screenplay is brilliant. Being a biopic of an army guy/athlete who turned into a dacoit won't b a happy/fun movie. It's a very sad movie. But Irfann did manage to evoke some light moments by his sheer one liners n acting. Imagine an athlete who's very good in running has to run away from police. The direction was good n the cinematography was good capturing the harsh, dry, rural difficult terrain.

Irrfan's performance and the gripping storyline makes the movie a must watch. Despite being a biopic, the story has good pace. The remarkable ease with which Irrfan executes such roles is truly remarkable. He leaves his impression on you for days after you watch the movie. Mahie is good too as one of the lead character. Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Brajendra Kala have also performed well. Hats off to Tigmanshu Dhulia for remaking a good movie after Haasil. The combination of Tigmanshu and Irrfan has created magic again. Such movies usually have a disappointing climax but this movie does well there too. Watch it once and you will watch it again.
