  Review by Shikhar Verma ★★★½ 6

  I've never had goosebumps and tears in a sports film that follows all possible cliches. That'll tell you how powerful this film really is.

  Over the years Bollywood has tried making biopics, but instead they just made whatever they think was the meaning of a Biopic. Even though Dangal has its moments of Bollywood as it has to reach an audience of the second most populated place in the world, it manages to thrive in every moment and finally nurturing the true meaning of a biopic.

  Dangal is a story about Mahavir Singh Phogat who was a really great wrestler, but had to leave the sport because of family and no support. His only dream was to make his son everything he wasn't and make him win a medal for the country. But he has four daughters over the years and he stops thinking…

  Hausaufgabe zwischen mir und Darioforgeek

  Aufgabe: Ein Bollywood Film

  
  Ich könnte jetzt ausführen wie sympathisch alle Darsteller sind.

  Wie sensibel die Story ist.

  Wie liebevoll sie übertragen wird.

  Anderseits auch wie „normal“ die Inszenierung abseits vom erwarteten Singen und Tanzen ist.

  Auch wie wichtig die Laufzeit von 160 Minuten zur Handlung steht.

  
  Aber ich möchte einen anderen Aspekt hier zu „Papier“ bringen, nämlich wie zeitgemäß, wo es selbstverständlich sein sollte Frauen und Mädchen zu respektieren als vollwertige Individuen wobei es da schon oft scheitert, die hier eingefangene Geschichte vorgetragen wird.

  In einem Land wo Gewalt an Frauen an der Tagesordnung scheint, angefangen von Misshandlungen durch den eigenen Ehemann oder der Vergewaltigung durch einen wilden Mob, wo die Mitgift – das…

  I am a sucker for underdog sport dramas and “Dangal” is definitely one of the better ones. Based on true events, the film tells a moving, captivating, and inspiring story about family, ambition, dedication, and overcoming prejudices.

  “Dangal” features believable, fleshed-out, and memorable lead characters (some supporting characters are stereotypical, though), strong performances, beautiful visuals, catchy songs, authentic, exciting, and well-choreographed and filmed wrestling scenes, a lot of heart and humor, and the right amount of pathos and melodrama (not over the top like in many other Bollywood films). Aamir Khan´s body transformation is impressive, his charisma is amazing, and he delivers a natural and layered performance that makes you fall in love with his character, even though some of…

  Girls be happy your father is controlling and using you to live out his dreams, rather than marrying you off: The Movie.

  I really wish Bollywood movies would actually interrogate gender and class relations in a nuanced way which isn't just this oppression leads to a better life than that oppression.

  Wrestling scenes kinda slap tho

  Bollywood & Indian cinema mini-challenge 2017: Female directors & women's issues (September theme)

  This is a story based on the life of Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters, Geeta and Babita. Mahavir is hell-bent on having his son achieve what he never did - an international gold medal in wrestling. The only problem is, his wife keeps giving birth to daughters and a son never materializes. But one day, when his two oldest daughters badly beat up two boys who call them names at school, Mahavir realizes he doesn't have to give up on his dream. His daughters are just as capable of achieving it as a son would be.

  Coming into the film all I knew really was "Aamir Khan movie…

  Review by Prateek Rungta ★★ 2

  Had so much potential. If only they focused more on the athlete’s story rather than the father’s, on the sport rather than the (fictional) drama between the superstar actor’s character and the sport academy’s coach.

  Too little was explored about the girls’ motivation to keep training and fighting at such a young age. Where is the cause for that burning fire that fuels them to train and fight like their life depended on it?
