The subject matter of this sports film is wrestling. The storyline follows a familiar arc in that the main character overcomes obstacles and poor circumstances to arrive at the top of their game. However, the fact that the setting is India and the wrestler is female is what sets this film apart. Wrestling fanatic Mahavir wants to have a son and wants that son to be a wrestler. However, when he has three daughters in a row his frustration is beyond words. One day, his first and second daughters beat up a boy. Eureka! Mahavir gets his daughters to receive intensive training.

Despite the adorned image of a functioning family, I cannot see past the fact that a courageous father who saved his daughters from the bleak fate of Indian girls would forget about similar intentions when his only son was born and would only devote himself to his son. Thanks to the excellent Aamir Khan, this flaw can be somewhat overlooked, and as long as the emphasis is placed on functional and surprisingly pleasant family humor, Dangal is in the best order. Unfortunately, the first half only serves as a springboard to the purely athletic second half. And though it may be portrayed artistically to the best, the viewer merely checks off dozens of obligatory training and tournament clichés, which given the generous length, is all the more disappointing.

At first, I thought it would just be a portrayal of a dysfunctional family, with the father being crazy enough to sometimes torture his daughter. However, it turned out to be a gripping and human sports drama, which picked up such pace towards the end that I was practically on the edge of my seat. A beautiful finale and excellently shot matches.
