Critic Reviews for Dangal Yuddham

All Critics (17) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (2)

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?

Anupama Chopra
Hindustan Times
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.

Very solid, very sound entertainment, with thumpingly good Pritam songs that make Eye of the Tiger seem like pipsqueakery.

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

This December release has provided a truly happy ending to what has already been a good year for Hindi cinema.

Tough father trains unwilling daughters to be champions.

Maybe my biggest issue with the film is that it plays safe, in sharp contrast to its sport and gender-empowering subjects: when was the last time wrestling was considered a safe career, both literally and figuratively?

Rahul Desai
Film Companion
It 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.

Dangal is a perfect entry point for outsiders afraid to approach Bollywood cinema.

This film is a thundering body slam of honest emotions and sheer hard work.

Filmfare
This feel-good sports drama based on true stories entertains and, more importantly, could empower young women to pursue male-dominated industries.
