Dangal Is Not less than a Poetry on Silver Screen

Image result for poet

“What poetry!” was the first thought passed through my mind after watching opening 10 mins of Dangal.

Few days back, I wasn’t able to plump that should I watch this movie or not. I am not fan of Amir Khan but yes, his prodigy in marketing and cinema making makes him virtuoso. If he gets a worthy team, he can take the eminence of cinema presented to a new level. If he gets second-rate mates then he can twist the fate with his skills of marketing and media management. Indeed, he is a whiz kid but probably not the preeminent actor. I know, my previous line will not win the preponderance but that is my personal opinion.

Falling back, to the movie ‘Dangal’, in starting ten minutes itself I was mighty mesmerised with the initial plot, drama and direction. But in Indian cinema, most of the movie starts on an imposing note but ends as a cataclysm. The next thought was, ‘God! Is it going to linger like this or I will end up in another disappointment’.

The movie is inspired from true life happenings of National level wrestler Shri Mahavir Phogat and the feat accomplished by his elder daughter Gita Phogat. The story starts from a small hamlet of Haryana, and sequentially unfolds the reality of Indian sports, social issues in Haryana, women empowerment and a journey which is rousing, close to veracity which is shimmering hard work of comprehensive squad of Dangal.

The Child actress playing role of Gita Phogat and Babita Phogat

The child actors portraying characters of teenaged Gita and Babita have executed luminously. Their elder transformation was not as extraordinary as these kids were on silver screen. May be both the kids had raised the canons which the adult actors playing role of Gita and Babita were not able to match up.

The sport bearing is perfect, they have worked hard on the wrestling moves and thespians were able to play it well. It is another feather of this grotesque prose which wasn’t possible without the effort and hard work of whole dangal team.

Best thing about the movie is that everyone has done justice with their roles. Amir Khan hasn’t taken all the lime light and has given chance to the flair.

I haven’t revealed the story of this movie because I strongly have faith in that one should watch this movie at least once. This is unsurpassed sports movie ever made in Indian cinema and it will become a stepping stone in Indian Cinema. Audience were ovation with each wrestling move of Gita Phogat. Everyone’s eyes were stick to silver screen to see the next twist and the next turn.

My peculiar rating for this movie is 4 stars. I am not grading it with 5 stars because there is a small slice of the movie where acting wasn’t that good. It is surely movie of the year and I won’t be flabbergasted if it will get timetabled from India in the foreign language class of Oscars.

The Battle of Longewala

After drifting for approximately thousand kilometers from Alwar, I have reached Longewala. This place romanticizes me allot. The battle of Longewala a legend in itself. It is located at 120 kms from city of Jaisalmer. Only way to reach this place is boulevard and if you are tourist then you have to hire a cab. Longewala is prevalent because of the illustrious skirmish tussled between India and Pakistan in 1971. The clash of Longewala is all about how hundred odd men clogged and overwhelmed approximately 2000 Pakistani legionnaires. This battle was all about the audacity, impetus, chauvinism and drive to prizefight exhibited by those eighty Indian warriors. This scuffle is one of my favorite scuffles, and whenever I come to this place, my mind start envisaging how horde of men repudiated the destiny. During the Indo-Pak war of 1971, A-Coy of 23 Punjab had taken up the defences at Longewala. The A-Coy company commander was Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri later on emer...
