I 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?

Within that tight-lipped mask, [Khan] finds a hundred ways to communicate emotion. That's more than you can say for Dangal, a one-trick domestic sports drama that drags on for two hours and 40 minutes.

Let it never be said that if you've seen one inspirational sports movie, you've seen them all.

As far as Hindi cinema is concerned, 2016 will be remembered primarily for Pink and Dangal; not just because these films wowed the audience, but also because no film in recent times has done as much to sensitize the audience about gender equality...

Although in terms of substance the movie has its issues, in terms of impression and presentation, it truly thrives.

It's a must watch film for any Aamir-khan fan or an indian movie lover. I wouldn't say that it's the best indian movie as it's often called because of its highest worldwide grossing indian movie title, but it's definitely somewhere near the top in quality. I'd put it in top 25 all time favorite indian films. It breaks the moulds as indian female wrestlers, especially given I am myself from the state of Haryana, so it fills my heart with pride. The movie has comedy, memorable music, great acting, drama, everything you need to make it a great film.

I have some Indian friends and I just started asking them about Indian movies. The first one they recommended was Dangel. Absolutely loved it! Gets a little dark early, but eventually you realize it all comes from a place of a father's love for his daughters. As the father of daughter myself, I totally connected with it. Its a must see for all ages.

Dangal is an emotional and powerful story about determination, sacrifice, and breaking limits. The performances, especially by Aamir Khan and the young actors, feel very real and deeply moving. The film keeps you engaged from start to finish and delivers a strong message about believing in yourself. A truly inspiring movie that stays with you long after it ends.
