I watched the movie today and At last at the end of the year we got to see some thing special. Aamir Khan comes once in 2 or 3 years and he seldom disappoints us.
If we are considering the true story based on which the film has been made, there is no entertainment value as such, but some fictional characters added along with some added incidents which we all can feel that it would never had happened in real life. But this is hindi film and we all expect some emotional drama and the director well potrayed these things. So full credits to Mr.Nitesh Tiwari and Mr.Aamir Khan who worked physically to play the character.
The film shows some light towards our social systems which never supports women empowerment . It also point fingures towards why India cannot bring medals by simply showing an official who denies to offer fund for buying synthetic mats.
The movie also points towards the Indian Coach selection and the Human egos which results in loosing the medals. I hope the Concerned coach during the 2010 common wealth games is not targetted here.
Now talking about the comparison with Sultan there is nothing other than Some funny sponsorship like Pressure cooker in Sultan and here a Chicken shop keeper.
Another relief is that it is not a romantic movie as we are fed up of almost 100 such movies this year in different languages.
One thing which I cannot digest in this movie is that Aamir saying " all will remember only gold winners and not silver or bronze. I have to say that we still rememeber Leander, Rajya Vardhan Singh Rathore, Vijender Singh, Karnam Malleswari, Sushil Kumar, .Upto PV Sindhu and Sakshi Malik along with the gold winner Abhinav Bindra.
Other than this I like all other aspects of the movie
So it is a "must watch" movie for all categories of audience .
Considering the business, repeat audience will be more and hence crossing 300 cr in India is assured, But whether it will overtake PK is still a question as holidays are limited in view that X-mas and New Year Fall on Sundays.
