Films with sports backdrop aren’t new for Indian cinema loving audience. We have seen enough from ‘Jo Jeetha Wohi Sikandar’ to ‘Chak De’ and now latest trend is biographies of successful sports personalities. Even after getting familiar with these sorts of screenplays, why ‘Dangal’ is called as a monumental Bollywood piece with 4 and 4.5 star ratings?
Yes, the answer is easily predictable. It’s because of actor Aamir Khan. Sometimes, simple scenes and plain scripts are welcomed with standing ovation when artists performing on the screen are felt so close to our heart. Same happened with ‘Dangal.’ Whatever the applause we are seeing today for ‘Dangal’ is completely and directly proportional to Aamir’s dedication and honesty in shouldering a given role.
Of course, other B-town stars like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan have also touched this genre but the respect and esteem Aamir Khan is honored today is miles higher than them. That’s the advantage of having Aamir Khan because he begins setting high and unachievable standards which other can never dream. ‘Dangal’ is a pure Aamir film and hope, there’s no discussions needed on this.
