There are movies which are made for pure entertainment, to be watched at one time to let go of your realities of life. And then there are movies which are made to inspire and motivate you to face those harsh realities of life. Dangal belongs to latter.
I am no particular khan fan. But Aamir yet again, at the end of year gives a chance to reconsider him, to fall in love or under awe with him. The sheer work ethic with which I am told that he pulled off the makeover of time travel in the movie. Aamir is one of the finest, be it pk, 3 idiots, ghajni, Laggan...and list is on.
Dangal is spectacular. Dangal is masterpiece. Dangal is a movie you live inside with. Dangal is a movie you take out with you in ur lives. Dangal is a concoction of real life heroism and smart dialogues and brilliant performances.
Aamir as an actor makes you feel his life as he prepares his girls to the time he is tested by her disciple only. You run thru what his character goes thru and feel his emotions all thru. And he does it by putting right Haryana accent to gem of dialogues. He says once in the movie - Dangal ladne se pehle, dar se ladna padta hai!
Geeta kumari played by 2 girls - younger and older version as a character was the executor in the script, her father being the master. Fantastic performance by both girls, but I really fell in love with the small girl who spoke so fantastic haryanvi and shown the dare in her eyes as she prepared to fight against men.
Babita as a character, is the side role and done justice again by the other two girls. She displays that fine nuance of understanding her father when relationship of her father with geeta goes awry. Her smaller version also gives those funny punches to the movie which are required to tone down the intensity.
A sidey, the cousin of the sisters plays a vital role of fun and an effective narrator of the story.
Music is awesome and I wonder how primal pulls such kinds at times. I liked gilahriyan and obviously dangal title track. Written by amita Bhattacharya, it's an amazing song..I liked the lyrics after a long time..may be since chak de india track, in that genre.
And, without giving any spoilers, at the end of it you gather a lot of things from the movie, - a desire and motivation to win against all odds, great lesson as a parent on what all Mahabir did for her daughters and how future of kids is dependent on the parents, and above all the passion and dedication that the trio showcases on screen to achieve the end goal of getting and international gold.
It's a must must watch for anybody who wants to live life! And it's a truly story. So much inspiring life!!
