Watching sports drama movie since long time but nothing fresh..the same casual dialogue.. makers would have also been seen such movies in the past..but they learnt nothing... anyone can figure out the repetition of the scenes and dialogue used previously..also unnecessary over emotional scene in the movie makes it weak and unconnected..for example the scene of police personnel crying..do we seriously encountered such things in life.. emotions are the backbone of any movie but over emotions..and why always every sports person in any movie get distracted by women's only..it's better not to add such non scene rather being close to reality.but will appreciate the acting and the efforts of whole team.
A story of an unsung hero that captures the essence of hope, determination, and overcoming challenges. Kartik Aaryan shines in this feel-good film. Worth a watch! You will not regret and full paisa wasool movie. Based on a true story, the film shines a spotlight on Petkar's remarkable journey - from the 1950s to 2018 - when he clinched India's first Paralympic gold medal. His achievements, hidden in anonymity, finally receive the honor and respect they deserve. Surviving against all odds, he emerges unbroken, even when devastated. The film's free-flowing narrative, reminiscent of "Forrest Gump," and the essence of "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" infuse it with a rebellious spirit.
This is one of the finest movies of Bollywood, that I have ever seen in my life. Kartik Aryan and Kabir Khan's duo rocked. Superb job guys and I hope Bollywood will return on track after such awesome movies. Simply Mind-blowing. Both of you guys nailed it. The entire cast did a great job of justifying their characters. The storyline is outstanding and the power that was injected by kartik aryan in his role as Sir Murlikant Pentkar is incredible. I wish good to both kartik aryan and Kabir Khan. After such a long wait, we got some good content from Bollywood. Going again to watch this with my friends.
I didn't go in the theatre with a lot of expectation but when I witnessed this movie it just left me awestruck! So beautifully made and especially such an amazing storyline which inspires you to your core. The director has done a good work, second half hooks you down to your chairs. This movie says that there is no actual failure in life, until you keep trying and keep moving forward with determination and sheer commitment. There is nothing impossible and there is always hope and light after a dark day, just keep going and never give up. They have done a good work in delivering this feeling. Rajpal Yadav and other actors have done their role beautifully. 8 out 10π₯
I genuinely urge you to catch this movie in theaters for an incredible experience that promises not just entertainment but also profound inspiration and motivation. I attended the first-night show and was completely swept away-despite not shedding a tear all year, I found myself moved to tears four times during the film. It's a powerful story that touches the heart and soul, resonating deeply with its emotional depth and compelling narrative. The theater ambiance amplifies the emotions, making it a truly immersive and unforgettable cinematic journey. Don't miss out on this opportunity to be moved, inspired, and captivated by a film that delivers on every level.
