![]() ![]() Neighbours, school- kids, village dwellers make fun of Geeta & Babita who are themselves not interested in learning the wrestling but Mahavir doesn’t bat an eye, while he slyly uproots all distracting elements to ensure that nothing hampers his determination to achieve his dream. But it was actually cute to see that Mahavir arranges for ‘Pani Puri’ one last time for his daughters, Geeta & Babita, before he starts rigorous training which was hard to survive. It is quite hypocritical of us to root for Aamir Khan’s stubborn character, Mahavir Singh Phogat asking his first two elder daughters to become a wrestler, while we shrugged and dismissed our parents’ dream all our lives. While in ‘Dangal’, he fights against every social hindrance be it child-marriage, superstition, patriarchal outlook, and sexism to forcefully superimpose his own unfulfilled dream of winning gold for India in wrestling. Post watching the film, you might discuss it over ‘chai & sutta'(Tea & Smoke), but the memory of it fades away even before you reach home.Īamir Khan preached about chasing one’s dream in 3 Idiots. A film that makes you laugh, cry and empathize with the characters all along but once the film is over, the characters don’t stay with you. ![]() I am not implying that Dangal is a bad film, not at all it is an immensely watchable film. That is what happened with Aamir’s last film, PK, and Dangal is the latest victim of it. Though, I personally think, most of the times, the execution & screenplay of his films is punctured by the melodramatic tone and crowd-pleasing drama that reduces his films to commercial entertaining blockbusters. The release of any Aamir Khan’s film is nothing less than a festival, and why wouldn’t it be, he is the most formidable and dependable actor whose films are ‘supposedly’ driven by the content. ![]()
