Dangal raises the bar so high!

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2017)

There's no taking away from the actors, but the real stars here are the team of scriptwriters and the director. There is so much respect for the audience. The use of the voice over/narrator (I've hardly ever seen it in Hindi films) was a stroke of genius though its introduction was delayed and bit abrupt. The writing kept me engaged about a sport that I'm pretty sure most of those watching, like me, knew nothing about.
The choreography, direction and editing, particularly of the last 45 minus led to silence in the theater, where there had been much-appreciated laughter and an emotional connect in the first half of the film. This is what a movie going experience should be - to educate, inform and inspire.
It's established now that Aamir is bankable as a producer and bless him for his choice of material!
