Superb. As good as Sultan

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2017)

DANGAL is a fantastic film. It makes for even better viewing if you watch the real McCoy Phogat sisters with their father on the Kapil Sharma show (available on YouTube). The mother, the younger sisters and the male cousin who was their wrestling partner were also on the Kapil show.
It is so good of Aamir Khan to have made this film about the Phogat sisters and their father Mahinder Singh Phogat who defied convention and a conservative society to push his daughters to become world class wrestlers .... okay okay doesn't matter if it was also to satisfy his own ego. Nothing wrong in that.
Everything about this film was superb. The acting, the story, the cinematography, the sets, the realism. I loved it and would watch it again for sure.
Dangal was as good as Sultan though the former is based on real life and the latter is a fictional depiction. Both were superb films and well worth watching. Thanks to these two movies and the Phogat family episode on the Kapil Sharma show, Indian female wrestling has come into the limelight, and may it stay that way.
Do watch this movie if you haven't already.
