Dangal Rating: (4/5)A middle- aged, overweight Mahavir Singh Phogat (Aamir Khan) challenges his elder daughter Geeta Phogat (Fatima Sana Shaikh) to a wrestling match after she calls his 'technique' outdated. She lives in the National Sports Academy (NSA) in Patiala and swears by her 'national- level' coach's training, not her father's time- tested akhada lessons. Geeta defeats dad Mahavir in the face- off, telling him 'kuch toh farak hove' in his technique and that of her coach. As a panting Mahavir gathers the rest of his face, we see a father's sorrow at seeing his daughter change. Watch The Wiggles Go Bananas! Online Full Movie.
Dangal is the story of Mahavir Singh Phogat from Balali in Haryana. The wrestler is consumed by the desire to see his son 'win gold' for the country.
But as fate would have it, he has four children but all daughters. When his young daughters Geeta (Zaira Wasim) and Babita (Suhani Bhatnagar) beat up the neighbour's sons for calling them names, Mahavir sees there's fight in them. WATCH Dangal review: Aamir Khan surpasses all expectations with this fabulous film"Gold toh gold hota hai; chhora lave ya chhori." A gold is a gold; whether a son brings it or a daughter. Thus begins the gold quest of this father. But he has to wrestle the system, the society and its centuries- old prejudices before his daughters can wrestle. The best a girl could prepare for is 'chakki- chauka- jhaaru- pocha', not 'kushti'.
So much so that Geeta and Babita (Sanya Malhotra) start with wrestling boys, because women's wrestling isn't a sport. Not, until his girls go on to win.

Aamir Khan and his co-stars give impressive performances in this flawed but enjoyable Bollywood drama.
Everything else, the fights, emotional turmoil, the father- daughter tiffs, take centre- stage in Dangal. So while Tiwari uses every single trope in the book of Bollywood sports films, he does it with a freshness and expertise seldom seen.
There is a strong nationalism angle mixed with its feminist message, peppered with rustic humour and tears, if one is easily moved. Then there's the National Anthem to take care of the rest. This should appease the right rabble- rousers who Aamir has regular run- ins with.
Yes, Dangal is a crowd- pleaser. But it also has stellar performances and an engaging story- telling. Aamir is compelling in his role of Mahavir. He annoys you as much as he does his daughters with his strictness as the 'haanikarak bapu'.
He also gets you misty- eyed when he realises his daughter has gone astray. He makes you root for him when he trains Geeta against the diktat of the National Sports Academy, and makes you hoot along with him when his daughter takes on her competitors. All cliched yet entertaining. While Aamir is in the driver's seat in Dangal, Fatima pushes the vehicle forward. Her months of training are visible on screen. In the slo- mo sequences, Fatima is like a leopard.
The wrestling scenes are choreographed so well, they look close to real. Sanya Malhotra doesn't have a lot to do apart from cheering for her sister from the audience.
Child actors Zaira and Suhani hold their own in this motley cast with a heavyweight like Aamir at the top. Aparshakti Khurrana, narrator and Mahavir's nephew, gets a lot of laughs. Pritam's music is used as a narrative device, and the songs don't affect the pace.
Apart from Gilheriyaan and the title track, Dangal, no other track stands out because they are more part of the story than songs. Drop everything and watch Dangal this weekend. Welcome back to the big screen, Aamir Khan. The two- year wait has been totally worth it.(The writer tweets as @ananya.
