Mahendra Singh Dhoni’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.
To create a true, full-blooded biopic, filmmakers need a free-hand: MS Dhoni The Untold Story, which claims to give us Mahendra Singh Dhoni Uncut, is much more generous with details from his childhood and his days of struggle than from his blazing tenure as star wicketkeeper-batsman-captain of the Indian cricket team.The entire focus is on Dhoni who is shown as the sole match-winner from the Indian side. His teammates, which include Indian cricketing greats(Saurav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and others), are seen in flashes, either from the back or in profile. There is no dressing room banter with his team-mates.This film had potential to present us with the recent Indian cricketing story, warts and all.
