Dangal

This review note was written on December 30, 2016 
Dangal
With very limited Hindi knowledge, was wondering what Dangal meant. Probably the name of a place in the north? Did not want to read any reviews that give away the story before I watched it. Anyway it has become a norm to expect Aamir Khan to produce/create/be a part of world class stuff. So, was waiting to watch the movie with inputs like, "Dangal is good", "Dangal is phenomenal". And how can a movie buffs's holiday be complete without watching a movie in the local theatres?
This movie is based on a bunch of achievers' life stories. With some spice and condiment here and there. Not a moment was wasted. Every frame was essential. Every actor was important. Every match brought us the sheer excitement of watching a real one that I ended up clapping for the protagonist's win.
Many "jambhavans" in India have to learn a lot from Aamir & Team - the script was crisp, the screenplay crispier, acting was just so natural with no dramatisation, direction was superb, lyrics fantastic and motivating, music adding to the tempo of the movie!
Girls/Women - do not succumb! We can do much more and much better. Stay focused! Men & Women - it's ok if you do not want to cheerlead, at least do not discourage!

India should now focus on making 90 minutes of movies with no intermissions. That will make it completely worth our time! Way to go, Team Dangal! #dangal #aamirkhan
