Dangal is one of the best sports drama I had ever seen with terrific performances and wrestling choreography.

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2017)

Dangal (2016): I waited for this film since I watched its trailer.I have waited a lot for its release date but unfortunately this movie didn't got released in our home town.So,I lost hopes of watching this in theater and waited for its Blu-ray version.But surprisingly Dangal showed up in our local theater today.So the moment I saw the poster,I rushed to the theater to watch this already declared classic.SO how is it?
Plot: Mahavir Singh Phogatv(Aamir Khan) is a former wrestling champion had to quit the sport due to his family pressure as it was not helping his family financially.He only dreams that his son should win Gold Medal for India in wrestling but back to back he has four daughter's.Mahavir feels his dream cant be complete and starts staying away from the sport,while his daughter Geeta (Zaira Wasim and Fatima Sana Shaikh) and Babita (Suhani Bhatnagar and Sanya Malhotra) are growing the notices that they have quality of being wrestlers and starts training them,Geeta and Babita have to get a hard training and start to dislike their father for this but they realize that their father is doing this for their betterment and take the sport seriously.Geeta soon becomes a a known wrestler in the state and wins Nationals too.But fate starts going in wrong direction when Geeta goes far away from her father's training.....
Plus Points:
1)Performances: Once again,an award winning performance from Mr.Perfectionist Aamir Khan.His dedication and passion towards acting is visible in each and every scene.His transformation for the role of Mahavir is commendable.The two girls are played by Zaira Wasim and Suhani Bhatnagar who win us over with innocence and exasperation before showing us how expertly they move.Fatima ass grown Geeta did a wonderful job.Her hard work is seen everywhere where she mimics the true wrestling techniques with perfection.Sakshi Tanwar, who plays the hapless mother, trying to strike a balance between an unyielding father and daughters who just want to be girls a little longer is brilliant in her role.
2)Wrestling choreography: This is the major break through for this movie and definitely helped a lot to achieve a special place in sports based films.In Dangal,the wrestling choreography is excellent and strikingly credible.All the wrestling matches are nail biting because of its realistic making.Kudos to the film makers for bringing a true sports feel.
3)Screenplay and Direction: Screenplay of Dangal is high on emotions and an aspiring father's goals.There are lot of remarkable scenes in Dangal where audience will get emotional.Especially the scene where Geeta wrestles with Mahavir is one of the best moments in cinema.Even the use of National Anthem at the climax is a brilliant taking.Nitesh Tiwari successfully delivered one of the best sports drama to Indian Cinema.He should be applauded for bringing us the tale of unknown heroes who achieved fame for India,.
4)Music: Pritam's music is solid and his background score is brilliant.Dangal title track definitely gives goosebumps every time it plays in the movie.
5)Cinematography: Sethu Sriram's textured cinematography oscillates between the poetic -- there is a lovely slow-motion shot of dirt from a shaking head flying across a red sky -- and the powerfully prosaic, with the wrestling scenes looking startlingly real.
Minus Points: None except that like all sports dramas this one is also highly predictable.But predictability never matters when there is enough inspiring content,
My rating 9/10
