Leave your thoughts about Dangal.
| FilmfareRachit GuptaThis film is a thundering body slam of honest emotions and sheer hard work. |
| ScreenAnarchyJ HurtadoDangal is a perfect entry point for outsiders afraid to approach Bollywood cinema. |
| The Times of IndiaMeena IyerIt is to the film's credit that though Geeta and Babita's wins are documented, it still manages to engage the viewer with the wrestling tournaments and bring patriotic emotions to the fore. Most importantly, Dangal scores with its first-rate performances. |
| South China Morning PostBen SinThis feel-good sports drama based on true stories entertains and, more importantly, could empower young women to pursue male-dominated industries. |
| Hindustan TimesRohit VatsThis could be Aamir Khan's best performance till date. Yes, even better than Lagaan. |
| Hindustan TimesAnupama ChopraI 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? |
| Gulf News (UAE)Manjusha RadhakrishnanDangal is the last major film to be rolled out in 2016 and Khan has saved the best for the last for his fans. |
| ReutersShilpa JamkhandikarThe sequences are wonderfully shot and choreographed, so much so that it is difficult to believe the actors aren't full-time wrestlers. And at the centre of it all is Aamir Khan. He plays Mahavir with practiced authority and impeccable timing. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergAs goosed as the drama gets...the uplift feels earned, or at least tough to resist. |
| Scroll.inNandini RamnathAs a study of single-minded dedication, Nitesh Tiwari's biopic Dangal could not have had a a more apt lead... Aamir Khan is perfectly cast as Mahavir Singh Phogat. |
