MSD’s biography proves that if you have talent and a bit of luck, you can make it.A pity then that the film starring Sushant Singh Rajput doesn’t do justice to his cricketing career.

Despite Sushant Singh Rajput and rest of the cast’s efforts, the film fails because it is not Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s biography, it is his hagiography.
The film had potential to present us with the recent Indian cricketing story, warts and all. Sadly it’s more hagiography than biography: the cricketer is reduced to a being singing-romancing Bollywood hero rather than a top-flight cricketer, a master strategist, and a captain who led from the front. True champions have that edge that no one else does: on that score, the real-life Dhoni hits it out of the park, every single time. Too bad the reel Dhoni gets stumped just when he is getting started.Amaal Mallik and Rochak Kohli’s songs, Sanjoy Chowdhury’s background score and santosh Thundiyil’s cinematography are the attractions on the technical front.
