We see the blood, sweat and tears that go into the making of champions.

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2016)

Dangal is an outright winner - A film that will pin you down and keep you in its grip all the way through. Dangal works on the twin parameters it sets up for itself. One is a straight-forward film about a popular sport and those who play it: we feel and smell the 'mitti' of the 'akhara', the 'daanv-pench' (moves) that truly skilled wrestlers use to face down formidable foes. We see the blood, sweat and tears that go into the making of champions. The actors who play the young Geeta and Babita do a competent job of turning into eager combatants from young-girls-who-just-want-to-have- fun. Dangal sees Aamir Khan as wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, who trained his daughters Geeta and Babita Phogat who went on to win medals for India in wrestling.
