Dramatic sports drama with a good punch

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2016)

I was very enthralled by the genre and the story of this film. Salman Khan delivers his role extremely well as a Haryana Wrestler. Anushka Sharma's role as Aarfa was brilliantly well performed, so I give my hats off to her. Although Randeep Hooda's role was a cameo appearance, he also performed really well as a trainer. The cinematography of the movie was executed very well and was shot very realistically. The movie did have some minor problems such as the pacing in the sense that it was 2 hours and 50 minutes long. Songs were being played every couple of minutes which did take up almost half of the movie. Vishal-Shekhar deliver good songs but for this movie, it did fall flat except for Jag Ghoomeya. But overall, Salman packed quite a punch for this movie and this is a surely a family-fun entertainer. It is filled with motivation, laughter, encouragement, drama, and intriguing romance. This is surely Ali Abbas Zafar's best work so far in terms of direction and screenplay/story during his career as a director. Salman Khan sure made eid a joy for his fans. A must watch
