The Biopic is one of the most anticipated Bollywood Movies of This Year. If you are die-hard fan of MS Dhoni and cricket ,you are bound to love this film, which reverse its protagonist Spread over three hours, Dhoni: The Untold Story takes you through various events and places in the life of "Mahi", as everyone calls him in the movie. I have always been a Dhoni admirer. A movie on his life was an emotional, at times almost spiritual experience for me.Most importantly, the movie does not glorify Dhoni but shows him as a near-flawless character. Overall, it is an above-average performance if one looks at it in terms of accuracy and details. It is a simple story with an underlining message that you can be a small town boy but if you have talent and a little bit of luck, you can be unbridled. MS Dhoni:The movie follows the journey of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a budding cricketer from Ranchi, who became the most successful captain of the Indian Cricket Team. He was a ticket collector before he became a cricketer. The movie begins with the ICC Cricket World Cup Final (India vs Sri Lanka) in the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai where Mahendra Singh Dhoni (Sushant Singh Rajput) is watching the match live on screen. He decides to take the stand, and tells the authorities that he would go for batting if the wicket falls down. Dhoni takes up his bat and leads down the stairs interacted the roar of the crowd.The movie then goes into a flashback in Ranchi, Bihar in 1981, the year Dhoni was born. Dhoni's alleged rivalry with Yuvraj Singh and a few senior players also finds a mention in the film.The Untold Story shows Dhoni's love, struggles, rejections, luck, insights into his personality (including his most used words, definitely and process as well) and his rise in Indian cricket. Barring a minor glitch here and there, the movie manages to keep the viewers interested. The film has its flaws, misses here and there and falls a bit in the 'death overs'
