Dangal
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Kudos to writing that got me hooked to wrestling for the last hour or so. This for a person who gets easily bored in wrestling films, let alone the sport itself.
-
Its funny, dramatic, dark, serious, emotional all rolled into one seamless cinematic gem. It is the movie of the year.
-
...the film is the best one of 2016.
-
A terrific film that stays in your heart and remains etched in your memory much after the screening has concluded.
-
...scores with its first-rate performances.
-
...the finest movie to come out in recent years...
-
This is by far the most credible an Indian sport film has ever felt...
-
...is a rousing study of the quest for perfection – and Aamir is the perfect lead.
-
Unlike the overblown Sultan with a somewhat similar milieu, Tiwari's account of inspiring reality is lot more understated in its approach.
-
...is the kind of sports film that usually eludes Bollywood. It knows the rules inside and out and meticulously plays by them without ever succumbing to dreary predictability.
-
... a wholly enjoyable ride in the theatre, yet again. Don't think I need to say more. You won't miss this anyway.
-
...bends a little to accommodate its superstar, but has plenty of charm and grit.
-
This could be Aamir’s best performance till date.
-
Whether it will be a bestseller or not, the Dangal book deserves to be watched with your children and later, kept on your shelf.
-
Yes, Dangal is a crowd-pleaser. But it also has stellar performances and an engaging story-telling.
-
...has all the ingredients of a great sports film and the fact that it is based on a real life story will make you chuckle and tear up alternately throughout the film.
-
...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 isn’t pounding from all the excitement of the bouts.
-
It could have easily turned into a vanity project, which is a clear and present danger. It could have been made more polished that it needed. But it stays real, because the star ratchets it up when required, and lets it go in the rest.
-
Terrific performances elevate a drama that’s more solid than spectacular.
-
Even as the film touches a chord, it makes one compare and contrast it with other Indian sports films, and not glowingly at that.
-
It is a wonderful telling of a true story that is poignant and inspiring as well as a reflection of the state of sports in the country.
-
...may be confusingly cautious around popular notions on the parental front, but in the matter of sporting achievement it does not mince words: silver is second best, it tells us unequivocally, and there is nothing wrong in aiming for gold.
