Ms Dhoni – The Untold Story
Starring Sushant Singh Rajput
Directed by Neeraj Pandey
Rating: ** ½ (2 and a half stars)
There is a moment of reckoning in Dhoni’s life when getting on that moving train would mean the difference between life and stillness. That metaphorical moment when Sushant Singh Rajput, playing Dhoni as though by birthright, jumps on that train, shot with astute honesty and gritty resplendence by Santosh Thundiyil, is so brilliant in capturing the moment that changes a life from ordinary to something extra, that greedily one waits for more such moments in the vast stretches of storytelling that occupy Ms Dhoni – The Untold Story.
First thing;s first. There is nothing ‘Untold’ in this 3 hour-plus sprawling paean to one of the most iconic cricketers of our times. All we see for what seems like an eternity of playing-time are scene after scene from Dhoni’s life and career.
