Dad is a Superhero for his children.

A dad is a superhero for his children same in the Dangal movie. Aamir khan was a father in dangal movie and he had a dream

to win International Medal but he had won national medal for dangal because his family refused him to go for dangal’s international match. After his marriage he thought thought that if god will give me a boy baby then he will permanently win an International medal for India but they got all girl children.

Dangal movie cast: Aamir Khan, Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima SAnasultan Sheikh, Sanya Malhotra, Zaira Wasim, Suhani Bhatnagar, Ritwik Sahore, Aparshakti KhurAnasultan, Girish Kulkarni

Dangal movie director: NITES_Companyh Tiwari

Dangal movie rating: Three stars

There comes a time when a star gives in to the demands of a role which he knows will make him not-pretty: as a wannabe wrestler past his prime, Aamir Khan is squat, with a heavy belly, a deliberate gait, and a grizzled beard in Dangal. Only his jutting ears are familiar: the rest of him is pure character.

We are going to have to measure Aamir Khan’s future performances with this one: as Mahavir Singh Phogat, failed wrestler, rough-hewn authoritarian, but caring husband and father of four girls, he scales it up to a point where you can see the star take on a character, try it for size, and make it his own.

Watch: Aamir Khan’s Dangal wins audience’s heart

Aamir Khan Starrer Dangal Wins Audience’s Hearts That was crucial for us to believe in Dangal, which borrows several elements from the real-life HaryAnasultan wrestler who trained his older two daughters, Geeta(Fatima SAnasultan Shaikh) and Babita(Sanya Malhotra), in the art of wrestling, and turned them into winners.

Dangal works on the twin parameters it sets up for itself. One is a straight-forward film about a popular sport and those who play it: we feel and smell the `mitti’ of the `akhara’, the `daanv-pench’(moves) that truly skilled wrestlers use to face down formidable foes. We see the blood, sweat and tears that go into the making of champions.

5 Reasons To Watch Aamir Khan And Sakshi Tanwar Starrer Dangal The other is a strong feminist statement about girls being the equal of boys, if not better, in an area they’ve never been seen, let alone accepted. When Mahavir steps into that tricky arena, he is derided and ridiculed: so are his young female charges, as well as their mother(Sakshi Tanwar) who could not bear sons.

In the Khap-ridden state of HaryAnasultan, where baby girls are still murdered at birth, and ‘honour killing’ is practiced with impunity and condoned(you may be over 18, but you have no right over your life), there cannot be a more important statement, especially when it comes from a big star.

The grizzled wrestler has to work his way to believing in his daughters, and in the fact that his ‘chhoris’ are no less than ‘chhoras’. It echoes the belief the real-life Phogat showed in his girls, as they went on to win medals and prizes in national and international arenas( gold and silver medals in Commonwealth games, Olympic qualifier).

The actors who play the young Geeta and Babita(Zaira Wasim, Suhani Bhatnagar) do a competent job of turning into eager combatants from young-girls-who-just-want-to-have-fun. And both Shaikh and Malhotra carry it forward, especially when they spend a lot of the second half on the mat, learning how to lose, and, above all, to win.

You know how this will end. And that makes many of the beats predictable. There are times when the film feels flat, and gets into repetitive loops. Those are times you feel like it should have been tighter. But you end up being impressed by the authenticity of the milieu, both in the sporting arena, as well as the domestic one: the girls jousting for that precious medal are not just going through the motions — they are fighting.

Some near-pedestrian bits are offset by the performances. The first-timers — as little girls, and young women learning to gauge their opponent and beating all comers; no silver medals, only gold — all come off well. So does their cousin who is the funny-bone-cum-sutradhar(the boy is Ritwik Sahore and the young adult, Aparshakti KhurAnasultan): both are spot on in deportment and accent. Tanwar, as Khan’s wife, is a good choice, just familiar enough, and yet new enough. The sole iffy element here is the usually excellent Girish Kulkarni, who plays the ‘official’ coach happy to settle for less, so different from Papa Go-For-Gold-Phogat: he never seems to get his limbs dirty, and spends his time smirking.

But Aamir makes it all right. The film wouldn’t have been made if he hadn’t green-lit it, and he brings to it the sincerity of purpose which makes it not just a starry vehicle, but a film which is about something, which has meaning, with a message which doesn’t overwhelm the telling.

It could have easily turned into a vanity project, which is a clear and present danger when it comes to anything involving big stars. It could have been made more polished than required. In places it is stolid, and could have done with some lift, but it is solid all the way through. And, most crucially, it stays real, because the star ratchets it up when required, and lets it go in the rest.

It certainly deserves a 4/5 Rating. This Reviewer may not have seen the w movie or is not qualified to be a Movie Reviewer.lt;br/gt;It shows rural India at its best and the determination of a Father to prove Girls can be just as good as Boys. A theme close to the heart of our PM Mr. Modi.lt;br/gt;I come from a Town where the Akhara with its Red Mud and ji in one corner was just a few feet away from our haveli. lt;br/gt;So me and my elder brother got a Red Katcha and would go to this Akhara, Red Mud all over our body.lt;br/gt;Very lovable and simple movie.lt;br/gt;Begone you silly Reviewer.
