Brilliant”, “fantastic” “film of the year” – now that’s exactly what everyone’s saying after watching Aamir Khan’s Dangal and we feel Aamir truly deserves this appreciation. I mean, no seriously! The film not only narrates an aww-inspiring story on the life of former Indian wrestler Mahavir Phogat but also promotes women empowerment through Mahavir’s struggle to make his daughters( Geeta and Babita) as India’s wrestling champions. And man, who better than the ‘Perfectionist’ aka Aamir essaying this role and nailing it with his determination. No wonder the audience cannot stop singing praises for Aamir. In fact, despite the comparisons between Aamir and Salman Khan’s Sultan considering even the latter was a wrestler-based film, Aamir is still managing to strike an impact with his pathbreaking performance. Now that’s how you end the year with a bang, isn’t it? Watch this public review and we bet this is one of the many awards Aamir is going to win for Dangal this year.
