Review

Direction: Direction by Nitesh Tiwari, is indeed commendable. He captured even the slightest details of the journey of the Phogat family towards the historical win. The film has its own moments of happiness, humor and overwhelming emotions, it will hold on to you till the end.

Acting: The movie casts Mr. Perfectionist and his acting prowess needs no mention. His transformation from a passionate wrestler to a son, a husband and then a strong father is admirable. The young Geeta and Babita, Zaira and Suhani, have effortlessly carried the tender emotions they felt for their father with utmost humor and cuteness. Their adult counterparts, Fatima and Sanya, kept entertaining till the end with their laudable performance. Lastly, Sakshi and Aparshakti have supported the movie with their elegant and poignant acting skills.

Music: Music of “Dangal” has a rustic feel to it and roots to the soil of Haryana. The music by Pritam, touches the soul of the movie and takes for the movie.

All in all, "Dangal" is a movie that is definitely worth a watch.
