Dangal Review

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2016)

Dangal Review:- I believe that movies with longer shelf life's are getting lesser day by day..there are very few movies which qualifies into that category that urges you to stop and watch them whenever you found them while changing any movie channelsI am pleased to announce one more entrant into category which is the latest AK blockbuster  Dangal. AK has been 5th time lucky with his December release Last time when you have seen AK at the village backdrop you were cheering him for the nail biting cricket match and I am sure this time you would do that for his daughter thrilling wrestling techniques, as he moved into much mature real time character Mahavir Singh Phogat. Not in a single frame you found him glamorous but still he manages to steal the show just by his sheer flawless performance n into the character approach. Mind you this movie is far beyond any comparison with Sallu Bhai Sultan, except for Harynavi & Bajaj Scooter. This one apart from giving you many insight about wrestling as a game (points 1, 3 &5 was explained very well) also deals very beautifully about the father-daughter relationship along with social hurdles for a women wrestlers. All in you could found a different AK with various shades of father, coach, mentor, wrestler etc. and the dialogue delivery from him that too in Haryanvi style was just a killerwith various inspirational and true to life messages. The movie is lengthy but with amazing screenplay, balanced 1st and 2nd halves, great supporting cast it makes the overall experience joyful n memorable right from beginning till end. Moreover even though the songs are not chart busters but it was superbly placed and it gels properly with the flow of the story and you would never found people moving out of the halls for some refreshments even when the songs are being screened. Daler Mehndi voiced title track which keeps coming in between pumps you with excitement n energy. Very well written and well sung. The second half was a clash between father ideology and daughter's approach which was so well portrayed and the father vs daughter wrestling and the climax was just mind-blowing. The new director had done full justice to the script and characters, from the opening scene of the movie one could very well judge his caliber and could hope that he keeps up the good work in his next venture otherwise he would be also gone missing like director of Sarforash. The pre- climax discussion between AK and his daughter will reminds you of Chak De 70 mint. But this time it was more emotional and realistic in Haryanvi style. Dangal's Mahavir Singh gives you many take awaythat a person with strong conviction could change anythingjust look at his confidence and belief during talking with butcher at meat shopI can only be a father or a coach at one point of time"Dangal ladnay se pehalay daar se ladana pedtha hai"etc there are many more and shouldn't be missed. All the sport biopic Chak DeBhaag Milkha BhaagMS Dhoni and this one too sends out a very strong message that "Success is sweet but its secret is sweat"!! Do watch this Dhakad movie and I promise that you will come out from the hall with happiness all around.
