Ratings:4/5 Review by:Rajeev Masand website: CNN News18

Dangal is not a perfect film, but then few films are. It’s too long at 2 hours and 41 minutes, and it’s both plain and simplistic in places. But it’s a solid and satisfying watch, a well-crafted look at what went into the creation of two sporting champions. It’s a film that makes the heart swell… when it’s not beating from all the excitement of the battles. I’ll go with four out of five.

Overall DANGAL is a masterpiece. A fantastic film that stays in your heart and remains etched in your memory long after the screening. A brilliant film that restores your faith in Hindi cinema. Actually, it won’t be wrong to say that DANGAL is the best film to come out of the Hindi film industry in a long, long time and mark my words, it will be remembered as a classic in times to come. It combines drama, emotions, sportsmanship and patriotism extraordinarily… the icing on the cake is Aamir Khan’s towering performance. This rich-in-merits film also has a big advantage – the holidays ahead [Christmas and New Year] — which will ensure a great run at the ticket counters. A must, must watch!

On the whole, Dangal is not just a movie; it is an experience to cherish. It is utterly captivating, brilliantly entertaining and phenomenally patriotic in its feel. It is as much a film for the young as for the old, as much for the classes as for the masses, as much for the city audience as for the viewers in small towns and villages, as much for the rich as for the poor, as much for the multiplex audience than for the single-screen cinema audience, as much for the men as for the women. It has special appeal for the ladies and it has immense replay value. To say that it will be a huge success is to state the obvious. The film is destined to be one of the biggest hits of Indian cinema. In fact, it may turn out to be the BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER EVER!

Director Nitesh Tiwari hits the familiar notes of the sports film in which the underdog becomes a champion. But Dangal works because it’s about so much more – it’s a film about an authoritarian but loving father and his determined daughters. It’s about the immense personal sacrifices and rigors that sport requires — for these girls, long hair, nail polish and even pani puri were luxuries.

It’s by far the most believable an Indian sports movie has ever felt, with even the commentators getting in on the action, giving most of us a manual on how to watch the sport. Dangal teaches us where rainbows lie in wrestling, and while it’s a celebration of true greats — and true grit — it’s not about one sport. India must watch this film for the way it puts the ‘her’ in ‘hero’.

In the story department, Dangal offers few surprises as Geeta and Babita’s historic victories at the Commonwealth Games and subsequent championships are common knowledge. However, this screen adaptation serves as a recap of their arduous journey and it powerfully recaptures their stubborn father’s determination to make them professional wrestlers against the odds. As it includes the historic victories of the Phogats, who brought glory to India, the film will also inspire more women to seriously consider kushti as a sport.

Dangal, a Bollywood sports biopic that gets almost all its moves absolutely right, draws its strength from a blindingly bright lead performance from a shape-shifting Aamir Khan. Dangal is the story of a Haryana man who dared to do the unthinkable. It is as much the story of a feisty girl who has gone where no one from her tradition-bound village has ever gone before. Dangal is the kind of sports film that usually eludes Bollywood. It knows the rules inside and out and plays by them carefully without ever succumbing to gloomy predictability. Dangal is an outright winner – a film that will hook you and keep you in its grip throughout.

But this is clearly Aamir’s film. It wouldn’t have been made if he hadn’t greenlit it, and he brings to it the sincerity of purpose that makes it not just a star vehicle, but a film that’s about something, that has meaning, with a message which does not overwhelm the telling. It could easily have turned into a vanity project, which is a clear and present danger. It could be made more polished than it needed to be. But it remains real, because the star rips it up when needed, and leaves it in the rest.

Sports is at its center, but the essence of Dangal lies in the simple highs and lows of the people Tiwari chronicles. Unlike the over-the-top sultan with a somewhat similar milieu, Tiwari’s version of inspirational reality is much more understated in its approach. Two of his most poignant scenes are also his quietest — when Geeta weeps bitterly amid heartbreaking hairdo and Phogat’s devastated look as he takes off in a rickshaw immediately after entrusting his daughter’s fate to a funny new coach (Girish Kulkarni) has.

This could be Aamir’s best performance till date. Yes, even better than Lagaan. A man who lets his daughters chase his dream. He cries, frowns, gets angry, looks old and tired, but is definitely one of us. When he shakes his head helplessly, you see a father in him. When he gets into a fight, he’s the brother you always depended on. When he wants to see you win, you know you have to perform. It’s not just his pride, it’s yours too.

Aamir Khan’s Dangal has its heart in the right place. An incredible script and powerhouse performances leave you impressed. Must see! Dangal is an adapted sports drama inspired from a real story. Also sends out a strong feminist message.Dangal is inspiring, emotional and mesmerizing. It’s a ‘Dhakad’ film and a perfect end to 2016! A 4/5 for this.
