I walked out of this film wiping away tears and feeling invincible. I felt I could wrestle down anything that hit me. How do you put a rating on that? Go to Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety 12/22/2016
Within that tight-lipped mask, [Khan] finds a hundred ways to communicate emotion. That's more than you can say for Dangal, a one-trick domestic sports drama that drags on for two hours and 40 minutes. Go to Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times 12/22/2016
Let it never be said that if you've seen one inspirational sports movie, you've seen them all. Go to Full Review Pradeep Menon Firstpost 10/25/2023
As far as Hindi cinema is concerned, 2016 will be remembered primarily for Pink and Dangal; not just because these films wowed the audience, but also because no film in recent times has done as much to sensitize the audience about gender equality...

Manny 12/23/2024 one of the best Indian films ever made! aamir khan and all the cast rocked! See more Jay W @RT52162311 Feb 23 Going from "Like Stars on Earth" to this film, man Aamir Khan is jacked. The wrestling in this movie is the best wrestling I have seen portrayed in ANY film.it is realistic while still being cinematic and exciting. Likewise, it has great training montages with songs sung by the characters, which give it a unique energy. The family dynamic and well-placed humor give the film a fun energy throughout. Since the film covers so many years, the movie never becomes repetitive. Despite its long runtime, it never feels like it drags. My only problem with it comes in the form of the villain in the picture. In a sports movie, the villain just needs to be the rival athlete who is wanting to stop the protagonist. This movie throws in an extra villain which just feels out of place. It feels like something they would do in an Air Bud movie it's that silly. But despite that flaw, I enjoyed this film. See more D H @Gotham Dec 26 An above average film with a bit two many musical tracks in it for my taste. Very solid acting effort my Amar Khan who carries this rather average, heart-warming film across the finish line. See more Diyan U @diyan Dec 19 I like this movie. It gives a lot of inspiration for a better life See more Lana A @Lana101 Oct 13 An absolute pleasure!! Wonderful storytelling on what happens on we humans set our mind on one thing and can win challenges against all the odds! Let's not call it a sports film. Its a story about endurance. Truly inspiring and captivating to watch... This film did not have the usual melodramatic romance saga that usually Bollywood films bring and that made it more enduring for me..Not sure why critics are calling it too long..I did not find it drawn out at all...I think those critics focused too much on the ending rather than the journey itself... I have watched this movie multiple times and will it again! See more I Am F @Creepblaster Mar 18 The best sports film I have seen yet. See more Read all reviews
