Dangal Movie Story:
Dangal is an extraordinary true story based on the life of Mahavir Singh and his two daughters, Geeta and Babita Phogat. The film traces the inspirational journey of a father who trains his daughters to become world class wrestlers. He dreams to make his future son an international gold medalist, but he and his wife are blessed with all four girls.
Mahavir who is extremely disappointed gives up his dream until one day when he happens to witness the strength of his two elder daughters when they thrash a couple of boys in a street brawl. Mahavir then reinstates his goal, turns into a ruthless father cum coach to train his daughters Geeta, Babita in wrestling sport. Rest of the story highlights how the two girls overcome the physical hardship and the social struggle in the rural India. Finally, they turn their’s father’s dream into a reality winning an International Gold Medal and make everyone proud.
Dangal Movie Review:
Aamir Khan’s physical transformation and performance, Sakshi, Fatima and Sanya’s acting skills are also among the highlights of the film. Aamir Khan did it again. What an actor he is…despite him enjoying superstardom, super star in him disappears on screen and we’ll see only real Mahavir Singh in him. His physical transformation as young, middle-aged and aged Mahavir deserve endless praise.
Nitesh Tiwari’s authentic setup of rural Haryana – the artwork, the houses, shops, and people are so natural. Casting is another major asset of this Dangal movie. Dangal has got superb production values, and Pritham’s songs and background score, Sethu Sriram’s cinematography and brilliant choreography of fights are the attractions on the technical front, add the audience. The background score and cinematography take Dangal to next level. Especially early mornings and night times’ scenes are captured so naturally by the cinematographer Sethu Sriram. First half runs entertainingly with subtle satire on Rural India and with thick family emotions. The Second half is more focus on girls’ journey to international competitions.

Just watched #Dangal & i can conveniently say that out of over 2 dozen movies i have watched in Cinemas, this is by far the best. Speechless Amir khans acting as a father/coach was superb and flawless. The movie wasnt boring, every scene in it was making sense except one. #Dangal I wont post spoilers here, but this is a movie everyone should watch with their families. Has many emotional and touching scenes too #Dangal

#Dangal #AAMIRKHAN #biopics magnificent masterpiece by Mr. perfectionist. Not to be missed . All actors justify their presence & 2 each 1
KRK @kamaalrkhan
It’s interval and #Dangal is a brilliant and emotional film. It’s a 100% multiplex audience film. #Dangal is a beautiful film which will inspire millions of the girls in Asia. It will educate ppl who don’t consider girls equal to boys. #Dangal is not a 100% commercial film but it’s very niche n party type film which will do good at multiplexes n average at single screens.

Straight Talk @Direct_Shooter
#Dangal is an epitome of blood pumping motivational story telling….Truly wishing this movie to go places in world cinema…Brilliant !! Movies are meant to entertain but #Dangal will lift the attitude of each and every viewer who watches it. Hands down, Amir Khan is a champion movie maker of present times. Knows how to pick a winning team and play the game in top form. #Dangal Though parallels can be drawn to Chak De and Sultan, the core content of #Dangal stands strong on its own creative capacity.
Arjun Bardhan @arjunidiot
Really enjoyed #Dangal. Engaging, measured, empowering and motivating. Terrific casting and exceptional performances. Aamir Khan is so good in #Dangal. But what surprised me are the girls. And the fight sequences are so well choreographed, raw and real.
