The story has been established well but there was nothing new we learnt about the captain. We wished to see the person that makes Dhoni, Captain Cool. Why he does he do what he does, what goes on in the man’s mind, why is he known to be cool? Questions are left unanswered and the story keeps moving forward. What keeps you gripped is Sushant Singh Rajput, he plays his part to absolute perfection. He has taken to Dhoni’s body language, walk, helicopter shot, everything to match the India captain. In addition to that, the supporting cast is exemplary and the background score touches all the right strings of your heart.
The movie leaves you feeling proud, happy, emotional and very patriotic. You know India wins the 2011 World Cup, you know Dhoni hits a 6 to win, but in spite of that you will be at the edge of your seat waiting for the climax. Even though the movie has its shortcomings, you will love the man for his determination, his confidence, his love for the game and for the country.
Verdict: In addition to the outstanding cast, you will see all players of the Indian Cricket Team on the silver screen, what’s not to love.
Stars: 3.5
