SPOILERS AHEAD: -
A Bollywood sports biopic that gets nearly all its moves absolutely right, Dangal draws its strength from a blindinglylunimous Lead Performance from a shape-shifting Aamir Khan.
But over and above his physical transformation, compete with wobbly gait and scraggly stubble, so impressively measured is the actor in the guise of national wrestling champion-turned-coach Mahavir Singh Phogat that he completely erases the boundary that separates the star from the role.
Rarely has a Bollywood actor sunk his teeth into a meaty character with such Gumption and glory.
Dangal is the story of a Haryana man who dared to do the unthinkable. It is just as much the tale of a pugnacious girl who went where nobody from her tradition-bound village had ever gone.
