Dangal wins hearts and box office numbers

Dangal’s revelry doesn’t seem to die anytime soon. The story of a desperate father who wants to make his daughters wrestling champions has touched the nerve of people hungry for seeing a heroic tale on screen.

There are elements that make the film a cut above the rest. There are patriarchal attitudes and prejudices surrounding women in society that form the core of the story. The display of varied emotions by the film’s cast is remarkable. Actors including Aparshakti Khurana and Girish Kulkarni who have small but important parts lend the film a ‘complete’ feeling.
