Thumbs up for Dangal

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2017)

An American entertainer/comic actor, Late Andy Kaufman once said that " there is no drama like wrestling" and truly Aamir Khan and his team has cashed in this concept with 'Dangal'. There was not a single person without moist eyes as the curtains dropped in the theater. In one of the climax scene when the national anthem was played- many stood up (some with emotions and some due to peer pressure...) and applauded when one of the main protagonist wins the wrestling title. Dangal is based (partially) on a real life story of Mahavir Singh Phogat, who taught wrestling to his daughter, Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari.
Soundtrack of the movie is very earthy and so are the lyrics. Credits goes to the versatile Amitabh Bhattacharya who penned the beautiful songs and the music is composed by Pritam Chakraborty. The director (Nitesh Tiwari) and writer (Shreyas Jain) - without hammering the thought into the audience brain, beautifully pass on the message of gender equality and importance of hard work and patience.One of the main hero of the movie is the narrative style story telling and the acting of all the lead actors.
This movie is worth a watch!! May this new year begins for all of us with the message that - There is no short cuts to success. You need to put in your blood and sweat in achieving your goals and have lot of patience to reach the summit in life.
