Celebrate Mahi's Journey

Rating: 9/10 (30 September 2016)

So here it goes, ever since I got to know that the movie on MSD is coming I knew that I had to watch it no matter what , glad that I managed to. Now coming to the movie, most of us already knew part of his life story but what it does is that it tells us the story behind the story we heard of. First half beautifully captures Dhoni's struggling days in Ranchi. To make the movie more realistic they shot on actual locations like his school, Mecon colony and even on railway stations. The frustration when everyone recognizes your talent but you can't go anywhere carrying that has precisely been shown. His days as TC & the insecurities can be read on Sushant's face while portraying Dhoni. Glad that movie has given importance to unsung heroes , yes his friends who were always beside him in making Dhoni what he is.
Second half was concentrated in showing us more serious side of Dhoni and selection chores he went through .Also, his relationship with Sakshi. The scene where Dhoni receives his team India jersey for the first time really gives you goosebumps. People saying that movie is long , I mean how can you show biopic in just 90 minutes I am glad that they didn't compromise on that aspect. The plot that they could have better shown should have been his interactions with players and strategies before let's say world cup final, apart from that I enjoyed this one and would highly recommend
