M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story

First of all hats off to Niraj Pandey for selecting this story, as it inspires each and everyone who struggles in their life We all know dhoni as a successful cricketer, but if you want to know the reason behind his success, then this movie is must for you. Sushant shing has done a great job. One of the best ever sports based films ever made. In fact, this film is not only about guts and glory, but dwells into topics much deeper than that. Neeraj Pandey delivers yet another masterpiece. The duration of the movie is big let-down, and the director could have cut down on those unnecessary songs, which slow down the pace of the movie. The entire movie is capped off by a brilliant ending. Sushant was absolutely brilliant and flawless in the movie, thus adding yet another feather to his already highly decorated cap. All the other actors too have played their parts. On the whole, this movie was not only an entertainer but also keeps you hooked to it for a good three hours. And rarely has a Bollywood movie been this good. Truly an inspiring movie... Hats off to the entire team for creating such a masterpiece !!!!

The movie is not good as expected and the reason is that the writer chooses to focus on the emotional nagging instead of the great content which could build a great story. Performance by Sushant Singh is truly brilliant and MS Dhoni's hard work and commitment towards his work is commendable but the loophole are the supporting actors. The two actresses Disha and Kiara have done average performances and Bhoomika as Dhoni's sister is not convincing enough. Too many songs in the movie spoil the screenplay. The only factor which makes the viewer going is his/her love for the real captain Cool and the sacrifices and efforts he takes to reach to the top. Overall I would recommend the movie as a one time watch but honestly Neeraj could have been much better

who gets selected to play for the Indian cricket team. His is an overnight success story. From anonymous newcomer to Next Big Thing, it doesn't take long for him to fall in the wrong company - in this case a cunning talent manager (played by Gulshan Grover) who lands him big endorsement deals, but also distracts him from the game and gets him addicted to wine, women and wealth. By the time our hero realises he's lost everything that's dear to him, it's a tad too late. But nothing that a lazy screenplay-writer can't solve by resorting to the oldest clichés in the book.Victory too is more predictable than the weather in Alaska.Victory, unfortunately, is a completely forgettable film whose scenes play out exactly how you'd expect them to. Sports films often follow the same blueprint; there's rarely any surprise in how a film about cricket or football or hockey will turn out - the hero's side always wins. You see, the trick is not in the ending, but in how you reach the ending. Think about it - were you surprised that the villagers beat the British in "Lagaan", or that the Indian women's hockey team won the match in "Chak De India"? No, you knew that was going to happen twenty minutes into both films. It's the journey up to that expected ending that made both those films special. The problem with Victory is, there is nothing to discover, nothing to surprise you, and nothing exciting at all about how it reaches its expected ending. Amateurishly directed by Ajitpal Mangat, the film is laughable in its supposedly emotional scenes, and too long by at least twenty minutes. The climax, a real hoot, is inspired much from Indian cricket history, with creative liberties thrown in for good measure. So you have six sixers back-to-back, and one final one that smashes the floodlights. All this delivered by our hero who's bleeding profusely from the head, his vision blurred from the injury. Now the big question - has Harman improved since "Love Story 2050"? Well, he's lost some of his stiffness, and his acting's a lot less labored for sure. But it's going to take a much better film and a less stereotyped character for him to show what he's really got. I would recommend, additionally, that he fire his make-up man instantly - the patches on the forehead, the uneven pancake really doesn't make much of an impression. Amrita Rao is wasted as our hero's childhood love; and Anupam Kher hams it up as Shekhawat's upright father, cracking you up with his rhythmic paralytical spasms. It is a film that reduces real heroes like Harbhajan Singh and Brett Lee to junior artistes in the background. Watch it only if you have a high threshold for pain.

Sushant's acting is uncomparable. His dedication and hard work pays off on the screen.

Hi, I went to see M.S. Dhoni movie because of dhoni fan and I came out from theater as a die heart fan of Sushant Singh Rajput. Brilliant performance by SSR, no khans, no other star kids can do this kind of performance. I can't think this movie without Sushant. I have watched "M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story" movie more than 20 times and can't stop my self to watch again when its coming on Start Gold. We will miss you sushant.

Thriller specialist Neeraj Pandey tried new genre Biopic with exceptionally brilliant manner.This one showcase the struggle of small town boy against all odds in his journey. Sushant Singh Rajput played tremendous match winning performance.He molded himself as middle class struggling young man to world conqueror. In first half, Neeraj has good grip on script but second half was slightly slow due to love stories and songs. Neeraj's favorite actor Anupam Kher was outstanding in the role of careful father. Anupam was part of each outing with Neeraj e.g. A Wednesday(Police commissioner), Special 26(P. K. Sharma) and last one Baby(Om Prakash Shukla).Disha looks cute in her role. Kaira was good in role of Sakshi. Rajesh Sharma,Kumud Mishra and Sarvadaman D.Banerjee were terrific. Herry Tangiri was really awesome choice for role of Yuvraj Singh.Script, Dialogue and Execution made it must watch for Cinema lover.

DHONI - The Guy and Within A quiet winter morning, the sun barely able to make its presence felt through the haze. A small second floor flat in a building desperately asking for a makeover after the elapsed monsoons. A few pigeons eating out of the hands of a child hanging out in the balcony. This is a typical moment in the lives of millions who inhabit the so called 'small towns' in India. Yet, this was the start of a journey, for a person called Mahi. An avid goal keeper in school, whose 'dodging the ball' skills were spotted and honed into a successful wicket keeper by his teacher. Every successful face has a story to say. Rarely do we get to know facets of people whom we idolize. M S Dhoni – The untold story, is an endeavor to try and unveil a few pages of his life and give a peek behind the face of Dhoni, into his heart and mind. Many anecdotes we may know of and recall, but then so many we don't. Interesting to witness those. Not to forget all those who played such a vital role in shaping him as an individual, prodding him on as a sportsman and helping him groom and grow. The movie gives due credit to all those. The movie tends to go back and forth a bit as if unable to choose whether to show his cricket prowess or peek into his personal life. Sushant Singh Rajput seems to have worked hard in impersonating him on field. And the ladies in his life showcased by two new faces have done a commendable job in this film. Am sure will be spotted by noted talent spotters after this. That's going out for Kiara Advani and Disha Patani. Wishing you'll the very best. Anupam Kher, Rajesh Sharma (hehehe my name sake), Bhumika Chawla and others have done a good job. A good learning for all the kids. Perseverance, dedication and the will to succeed can get you places. And can make you who you are destined to be, not merely who you might choose to be. Critical review of the movie am leaving to those who are best at it. Here are only highlighted reasons why you should see it. Just 35 years of age. Yet so much to share. That's Mahi or Dhoni for you. Go see, feel, live a slice of his life, for that's what you will manage in about 3 hours when they try and capture a lifetime of experiences. @rajrad

PLEASE DON'T GO TO WATCH IT. Boring movie. Nothing special has been shown. That's all rubbish we already know. Plus the movie desperately tries to show that Dhoni is God. Looks like this is not a movie but a campaign to promote the declining respect and value of Dhoni. I couldn't tolerate it for 3 hours and got a headache after watching the movie. People are crazy for cricket in India and that's the only reason they want to watch this movie. Otherwise I don't see a single reason why someone should watch this movie. There is no meaning. The movie is pathetic. It's terrible and horrible. If you like cricket,you won't like it. If you like movies, still you won't like it. Also the movie has not shown everything about Dhoni. It has focused only on his good things. The movie doesn't show how Dhoni played politics in the Indian team, dropped seniors, used youngsters, stole credit every time after winning, made excuses every time after losing, how he shuffled his batting order according to his ease, how he struggled on difficult pitches, how India started losing matches because of him in the end, how he selfishly didn't quit captaincy and remained shameless even after defeats and defeats, etc.

there have been movies on sports .... i mean we have seen Awwal No,Goal etc (it's fine if u don't rmr these films because for many reason u are not gonna remember this film too) & there have been sports movies too like Lagaan & Chak De. Now when we go to spend 150 Rs on weekend we expect that at least this one will be a better sports movie, no matter in story but at least in treatment & presentation. But the same old story is repeated again. Although i didn't have any expectation from it yet i found it highly disappointing. All the film maker has tried to do is add spices to story. No witty dialogs & no moving scenes. The main reason why this film is so boring is just the treatment given to it. Which turned out to be so fake & unrealistic that people will find it hard to accept the film, even when the film talked about cricket & had some great international players. One good advice to the film maker is, my friend this movie would have been good & successful if it would have been released in 80's. Since India has gone under globalization, the Indian audience now has access to films which are being made across the world. So the old melodrama & unnecessary spices wouldn't entertain us anymore. Be innovative & offer something new, no matter it doesn't have any element of typical Bollywood film, still it will be a hit.

I was pumped about this movie but it was a disappointment when I watched it. The movie has no 'Wow' moment at all but those which are there are usually the cliché ones, done by every other movie. I felt sleepy and it didn't keep me entertained. I don't think this is a very good movie and shows how the Indian public can easily be made to believe that this is such a good movie. The only controversial thing I will say is that I would prefer to watch Suicide Squad than this movie, followed by its flop earlier this year. Finally, I would like to say is that this movie is like watching someone's life through their own eyes avoiding all the wrongs done by Dhoni in his career. I have absolute respect for him but this movie isn't as good as people say it is. After all, this is my opinion and I respect what others think.
