A cinematic brilliance!

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2016)

#DANGAL review (No spoilers) The best thing about DANGAL is that there is no Aamir Khan- the superstar in the entire movie. There is just Mahavir Singh Phogat and his family. Their day to day struggles and their small triumphs ultimately leading to gold. It's a story of wrestling, of family, of emotions and basically everything which a person pursuing sports other than cricket experiences in India. It is also a deeply inspiring story of feminism. Geeta does what Aarfa Khan in Sultan couldn't. Aamir does what Salman couldn't- bring a character to life without the use of VFX. His character has many layers throughout the film. Was it his best performance till date? Well, we say that every alternate December. But like Virat Kohli, Aamir keeps scaling new heights in his every new innings..
A special mention of Daler Mehendi whose energetic rendition of title song which keeps giving you an adrenaline rush. Watch it for pure cinematic brilliance. For the amazing dedication of actors Zaira Wasim and Fatima Sana Shaikh who play the younger and grown up Geeta in the movie respectively. Their wrestling scenes are unimaginably real and goosebumps inducing.
And yea, if you can also stand up for the national anthem.
