This story of remedial moments between father and daughters would be nothing if not for the amazing cinematography by Satyajit Pande.

The film’s direction makes it all feel somewhat like a dream for Mahavir, yet at times it breaks through those barriers with darker colors and sharper, lonelier moments to showcase that Geeta’s life is actually affected by everything that is happening.

Nitesh Tiwari’s adaptation of Mahavir Singh’s story is something of a magical realism tale. Of course, we can’t talk about Dangal without mentioning how incredibly sharp the writing in this film is. The film just essentially keeps developing its characters, both in terms of their writing and their physical looks. Aamir Khan’s character changes as well at this point, aging significantly and being a much older version of Mahavir Singh Poghat. However, what I didn’t expect was the sudden time-skip and the upgrade in acting brought in by Fatima Sana Shaikh as she portrays Geeta with honesty and maturity that was lacking in her teenage character. Zaira’s portrayal of a young, full of angst Geeta was phenomenal and it just reminded me how good of an actor this kid was. However, what took me by surprise was the portrayal of Geeta by both Zaira Wasim and Fatima Sana Shaikh. Aamir’s portrayal of Mahavir is a somber, yet truthful representation of how Asian parenting works for the most part. Mahavir Singh Phogat is played wonderfully by Aamir Khan, who gained a ton of weight to play the character. He trains his daughter Geeta and Babita, his methods are harsh and completely unorthodox going so far as to cut their hair and forcing early morning workouts on them. So, trying to recreate that he forced his career on his daughters and pushed both of them into the world of professional wrestling. The biopic follows a former professional wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, who had become one of India’s most well-known wrestlers however he could not win any big medals. Dangal is an amalgamation of progressive themes, a guilty letter on what not to do as parents, and a guideline for how women in the third world need to be given their rights. While the film showed a story of growth, progressive prowess, and willpower for Aamir Khan, it was to showcase his dedication to playing the parts he wanted to play, and show the stories he wanted to show. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan’s film Dangal was hailed by critics and audiences alike as a revolutionary tale of growth and will.
