Dangal updates: Aamir Khan starrer is film of the year

Watch | 5 Reasons To Watch Aamir Khan And Sakshi Tanwar Starrer Dangal

Live updates:

# Dangal is the film of the year!

# National anthem. Not on SC’s direction but as a part of the film

# But why is Babita’s action missing in the film.

SPOILER ALERT! Mahavir stopped from watching Geeta’s final CWG match?

# It’s predictable as u know the results but the direction has made the matches look so interesting.

# The actors certainly have gone through rigorous training. All moves were perfectly captured.

# If you have lauded SRK as Kabir Khan, liked Naseeruddin Shah in Iqbal then just watch Dangal. Another coach deserves your admiration.

# Attack is the best form of defence, that’s Geeta Phogat’s game and Sana apes that perfectly.

# Mahavir Phogat deserves a special applause for his coaching.

# The CWG 2010 was not just about corruption. India won over 100 medals in the event and two went to Geeta and Babita. You need to watch Dangal to see the hard work behind those achievements.

# Sakshi Tanvar gets little screen time but leaves an impression.

# The film is certainly not only about achievements and the heroics of the protagonists.

# This is certainly Aamir’s finest performance in the last couple of years. The Aamir we really missed after 3 Idiots. He is back with a punch.

# Girish Kulkarni, the Marathi actor who was fantastic as an ugly cop, shines here as an arrogant national coach.

# You can’t lose focus. Sports need discipline and the beginning of the second half shows that.

2nd half ↑| INTERVAL | 1st half ↓

# Geeta reaches national academy and the movie reaches interval. A brilliant first half.

# Sana, who we last saw in Chachi 420, makes a brilliant comeback as young Geeta Phogat.

# You need to have a great coach to become a great sportsman and what better than an experienced father. No wonder Mahavir Phogat won the Dronacharaya award. Aamir brilliantly teaches the mat positions.

# Medal ped pe nahi ugtey…banana padta hai. (Medals don’t grow on trees, they are to be made). A line dedicated to the apathy of sports federation.

# The young actors have perfectly worked on their wrestling moves that they would leave you wondering if they are actually professional wrestlers.  The child actors deliver a dhobi pachar.

# Daler Mehndi’s thrilling voice in the title track gives the film a feel.

# The gender disparity and male patriarchy in Haryana villages are so ethically described. The chora chori difference the villagers refer to in the film.

# The funny narration reminds you of 3 Idiots’ Madhavan.

# It’s a story of inspiration, determination, courage and rigidness.

# Here is a power-packed dialogue: Beta yo kushti hai….teen sorry me khel khatm ho jata hai (Son, this is wrestling. The game will end in before you apologise)

# The intense subject has been given such a humorous presentation. Hats off to the director Nitesh Tiwari. Dialogue writer too deserves an applause for the brilliant lines.

# A clear edge over Salman Khan’s Sultan.

# The young actors are a surprise package in the film. Mahavir Phogat will certainly be most searched keyword after the film release.

# Aamir’s body transformation is obvious in first 20 minutes. As he goes from fit to fat, it serves an important role in the story.

# Right from the first frame Aamir and Sakshi leave the impression. Both have got the thick Haryanvi accent.
