Near-perfect multi-layered film crafted into simplicity

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2016)

Is this a sports movie, or a movie with a social message or about women empowerment, or about a male's ego to win medal through his daughter even though he himself fails to do it, or its a collage formed with different layers? The 160 min long film relies much on a strong screenplay that transition slowly into the perception of society towards the women, to the determination of Aamir khan to mold them into a world class wrestler and then struggle with the system to eventually end up with the rather predictable ending. The movie main hero is screenplay which keeps binding you with funny nuances, and yet emotional drama and relationship of father and daughter, and people around them. The actors have done their life's top performances. The film may have been perfect if the editing and cinematography have matched to the other department. However, this is smaller flaw compared to the much originality and simplicity that the movie brings.
