4/5
What makes this film unforgettable is Irrfan [Khan] who is, in one word, magnificent. He brings to life both the wordless strivings and joys of an athlete, and the despair of an outlaw, who has nowhere to go, but down. Go to Full Review

10/02/2020 It is a kind of that rare movie, which neither does too much nor does too little(characters included) and is just fantastic from start till end for that matter. See more 11/05/2019 This is Dhulia's best one yet. With a rustic atmosphere, and extremely realistic performances by the lead cast especially Irrfan. The movie is so engrossing that, you feel bad for the protagonist when he is exploited and cheer for him when he finally gets his revenge. Also, its much better than the tiresome, "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag". This movie is crisp, storytelling at its best, and is an underrated gem. Leave everything else aside and watch it now! See more yash b 04/13/2014 This is a well made and diverse story that is bolstered by an outstanding lead performance. I enjoyed the different aspects of the movie and found it very compelling. If you are a fan of biopics or Irrfan Khan you should definitely seek it out. The story is good and engaging. It ultimately ends up being a very heartfelt movie which is much more than I anticipated, and it deserves credit for that. See more 03/09/2014 Flawless direction from a Bollywood director after a very long time..!!And still Irfan managed to steal the show..!! Class act..! See more 12/26/2013 Irfan Khan is too good. See more 12/06/2013 Irrfan khan is great in Paan Singh Tomar. Who you set out to be is not who you necessarily become is put to great test in this movie. Worth a watch. See more Read all reviews
