Dangal Might Be The Best Wrestling Movie Ever | Dangal Movie Reaction

Amir Khan's character forcing his daughters to wrestle rather than allowing them the choice to do so might seem like a bad thing when looking at it from a Western perspective. The time in which the movie is set and the culture at that time meant that Geeta and Babita were expected to live the life of a traditional Indian girl. Clean the house, learn how to cook and get married off to a guy from a 'nice' family when they're of age. What's more, is that the two girls understood this and were happy to settle for that life. By forcing his daughters to wrestle, they understood that they were capable of more than what society at the time thought. This is one of my Mum's favourite movies and when I asked her why, she told me that when she was around the same age as Geeta and Babita (in the early 80s), her older brother forced her to stop attending school and getting an education because he believed it was distracting her from her household duties. My Mum didn't fight back, despite wanting to continue school, because she agreed with him. She thought 'Well that's just the way things are'. After seeing this movie, she said she wished that she had someone like Mahavir Singh in her life so that she knew she was more than a bargaining tool for an arranged marriage.

No, the common marriage age isn't 13-14 , like the girl in this movie ..... but it happens in some rural places where people just want to get rid of their daughter by marrying them off Hence that marriage scene is very powerful.... He was a father who wanted his daughters to be successful in life

If you're not okay with Aamir Khan pushing his daughters into wrestling, you have no idea how 95% of Asia works 😂. We believe happiness comes from the "flow" while doing your work once you master it, rather than the work itself. That's why parents often push children into financially secure and less risky careers.

You guys need to realize that India is like an entire subcontinent full of different cultures and lifestyles. Think as if Europe was a single country with the different countries being different states. Move from one state to the other and you'll experience a completely new language, food, culture, lifestyle etc. This movie is based in the Haryana state of the 2000's. Haryana used to be a very strict patriarchal society with very little rights and regards for girls. That all started changing for the better when girls like Geeta and Babita Phogat started winning international medals and then the Olympics. This movie also played a huge part in the cultural shift towards women empowerment and wrestling in Haryana and adjoining regions.

Guys please vote here for Bajrangi Bhaijaan..❤

I mean ...she clearly have a American perspective ...which is totally fine ....but sometimes if he didn't have made choices for geeta and babita....they would've been just like other girls ...so sometimes you have give them a hard path and walk with then on it ....simple as that ...but American culture ia just giving too much freedom to their kids ...all the above things and very generalised ...doesn't mean I'm taking about whole India or whole America..❤Love from India

I felt the same kind of wrong watching Queen's gambit tbh on Netflix. Parents having no clue the kid is doing drugs. The kids in school doing alcohol and drugs so casually. Girls eventually getting married with kids whilst being a drunk because they hate their life. The lack of guidance by the parents and involvement in the lives of children was just much too concerning. I mean, no offense to America, the show was awesome. But this is just culture differences and different parenting. Drugs, guns and stuff like that can get you years in prison and it's a huge huge gigantic deal. Parents in India are very involved with their children's lives and choices. Freedom and pursuing passion wasn't a luxury that they could afford in the times Geeta and Babita lived. I could personally never ever agree with American or western parenting. Same as you guys. It's just differences in mindsets.

Legal age to get married is 21(or 18) for girls and 24(or 21) for boys but back in the day in 90s in rural part of india it was common for teenagers to marry so like my grandfather was married at young age and my father at 25 yrs this is true for 95% indians

Elise ❤️. I can understand where u r coming from about the father imposing his dreams on his children. But this is a third world country, where people are fighting to survive and live a better life. There is no place for passion for these people, who just trying to make their ends meet. And those were the times where women are viewed as a burden, if it was a son then he would have made their lives easier. So, even though the society was against Amir khan in making those girls wrestlers, he stood his ground and believed that his girls are not just a property to be married off. It may be hard for u understand it, but this was a third world country trying to break out of its chains. Love my country ❤️.

Amir wanted the character of their father to be like this... He didn't want it to be portrayed like a perfect father... But rathere a father with flaws & at the sametine with a vision to make their children's future better

Hugo is such a punk that he deliberately chose to show closeup reaction of Elise in chicken cooking scenes of the movie 😂😂😂

Just a little information 12:46 snakes 🐍 and ladders 🪜 The game originated in ancient India as "Moksha Patam"

As a Gen Z Canadian-born Indian women, the misogynistic sentiment that a woman’s purpose is to marry off and serve her husband is still very much alive in various South Asian cultures. I’ve had to fight against this my whole life, especially now as I am entering my mid-twenties. Any parent who goes against this sentiment and wants something different for their daughter is monumental. For this movie, the reality is that if their father didn’t push them towards wrestling, their fate would have been the same as the young girl who got married.

i can see where u guys are coming from but my dad always said, there has to be at least one person in the family who breaks the rules of society and gives the family a new life. Sometimes the choices may look very tough and harsh but if these choices aren't made then u can never get a better life.

Totally agree 💯. Living in America , I have observed that people do not do enough research on how other cultures live and thrive upon. They assume , or maybe it's their second nature or it is in the back of their heads, that things are as hunky dory in the rest of the world as it is in America and that's how they fail to relate. Maybe this is why a lot of good Bollywood masterpieces went unnoticed at the Oscars or at a global platform because people failed to understand the underlying culture. Not everyone's standard of living is like that in the US. In most of the South East Asian countries , or maybe even just Asian countries , people live below the poverty belt, compared to the poverty that exists in the US. e.g. A homeless guy in America can still afford to eat food but a homeless guy in other countries cannot afford food for days. Now this guy in the middle ( don't know his name) seems to relate the way he identified the mother talking to the neighbor in ears just like it happens in Puerto Rico. So the bottom line is that the third world countries do not function like the way it is in America or the European countries and yes it is about survival . But you failing to understand how they function also reflects a colonizer's mentality that US or western countries still live upon.

This movie is based in Haryana, that state used to do very poor in women education, sports, rights etc in about 20-30 years ago. It has highest male to female ratio. But now, it started to make progress, just like entire India. Women are doing equally good in sports for India. In last Asian games, India won 107 medals, and ranked no. 4 in Asia.

26:08 The legal marriageable age is 18 for women and 21 for men. But in some very rural areas child marriages happen or used to happen.

That Indian wrestling Coach played by Nitesh Tiwari who is the Director of the Movie. 👆👆

child marriage was common in india until 1930's . still they were happening in north indian states then in 1970's govt made strict rules , parents of both girl and boy will spent 2 years in jail if found in the act of child marriage . then a new rule came in 2012 which states if the girl age is under 14 , the guy will spend upto 20 years in jail and if girl age is 14-18 he will spent 2 years in jail with 100,000 rs fine .

The dangal little sister childhood actress just passed away recently at the young age of 19. May god bless her soul. RIP💐🤍

A lot of girls and guys get married just as they become of the legal age that is 18 for girls and 21 for men, but now the legal age has been raised for women too. Its 21 for everybody now.

Bajrangi bhaijaan has to be next one

The time shown in movie is around 1985 to 2000 and at that time girls in india were thought to do only household as it was a patricentric country so this was the first time any parent going against the traditions wanted their girls to perform in wrestling representing india as he saw potential and they were the first women to win olympic gold and now at present time many athletes are women and many have made india proud by winning medals in olympic or any other prestigious tournaments ...... that is why you see some brutality and this was needed to perform against the traditions 🎉🎉🎉

Finally! These ones next please: - Bajrangi Bhaijaan (I keep saying. Lisa will be bawling the most out of all Indian movies so far, but in a good way) - Andhadhun - ZNMD (zindagi na milegi dobara) In that order

bro is bhai in hindi and guys please do remember its a movie , not everything shown is a complete truth of 1.4 billion people in 21st century. The legal marriage age is 21 years both for males and females in India. I belong to the state of haryana where the movie has been based on. I'm more than 30 years old and many of my female friends are more than 30 years of age. All the things shown in the movie used to happen till 80s,that too in poor impoverished villages as shown in the film, things were completely different in cities and towns. My parents too married when both of them were more than 25 years of age.

19:14 approximately half of the population of india are vegetarian and we are the no 1 country in terms of pure vegetarian population and we are proud of it ❤

Next movie barfi, also include the forth guy in this one.

You guys misunderstood. They didn't have lice, they were just making it upto avoid practice by saying their hair was getting spoiled and getting lice because of practicing in the dust. Their father knew they were making it up, and to teach them a lesson he cut their hair

Congrats to lisa for getting her blue belt!!! She can practically maul 90% of the world population now if she wanted to :) Been trying to get my girl into a mma/ bjj gym for the longest time but she still thinks shes gonna get cauliflower ear day 1 🤣

The way she thinks is exactly what is not required to be on top in any field. Comfort zone kills you.

Before 80-90 child marriage happened in India...and hey why not you guys try some Indian best webseries... Breaking bad Money heist One piece Asur mirzapur Panchayat Family man Lucifer Cobra kai Narcos Scam1992 These all are for me world top best Web series..

If you don't know then let me tell you that this is the highest grossing Indian film ever.

NEXT AGAIN AAMIR KHAN PLEASE TAARE ZAAMI PAR

Damn there are so many guy's who are so lucky to have the beautiful ladies like you have on your channel bro.. you both are so gorgeous.. appreciate your beauty..

Please, watch PIKU...It's a very nice and good movie. You can enjoy great acting for sure, I guarantee👍🏼

23:55 In INDIA, The Normal Age of Marriage in INDIA is 21 years for for Boys... & for Girls is atleast 18 Year Old... Now some State's Government changing it to 20 year for Girls...

The lady in right ...white top...she said she was desaggreing with the one piece statement "girls can beat boys but no women can beat a boy". But in this movie also she was girls and she was beating boys not men.....so...that surpasses the statement .....

Hugo, is just on the mark with this one.

U guys do the genuine and best reaction and btw lisa voice and alice smile is cutee

Sultan(2016) is another great wrestling movie !

Our society got independence in 1950s so as a society its evolving slowly. Everything is changing including parenting. We came from poverty so parenting, back then is to keep a generation in a right paths parents need to like mahaveer, every generation will have a certain way to progress and it's parents who have to guide that's what's he is doing

27:49 is exact reason why today's world running around the acceptance of equality in everything (gender, class, status, religion, etc...) is just because at one point of time in this modern world, few business savy minded people saw a opportunity of making profit/gain of this (,i.e., taking advantage of the tangible and intangible resources like norms, sports, entertainment, talents, under dogs, beauties and bodies, etc...) and they went on channelising in the mask of liberal (but in fact they wanted is benefactor from it). Today's world is in this mindset of being liberal is not because one person or group of people were liberal, but because of few group of people/classes/community around the world who were a comercial minded intellectuals realised a opportunity to make profit.

Next movie bajrangi bhaijaan

Bollywood is more than just Amir Khan.

Understand that this represents a rural part of India. That’s why a lot of stigmas and taboos

Guys, as youre watching this movie...just a small suggestion here. Watch this on the context of a rudimentary rural Indian backdrop dated to 80s or early 90s. Things were totally different back then from now days context.

A father always knows and wants the best for his children, so what is wrong with a father trying to push his daughters to do something out of the ordinary which they dont want to do but its for their own betterment? What the father is doing in the movie is out of the norm which is because of his intentions to make his daughters successful, independent, strong and achievers for their country. Harsh and challenging upbringings are mostly what makes successful people and hard workers. Most of us wouldnt have even gone to school at all if we were never pushed to go but thats not how life works, sometimes we need to be forced and guided to do the hard and unexplicable things because thats the ONLY way to success. Even just excluding that, olden times back in India, were very bad for women as they would have had to become housewives with no other option, so THEY revolutionised that mindset in india and because of that, people of our generation have freedom to what we want to be. Someone always had to have done something done out of the norm for it to become the norm.

Father is the best person we have in India. They sacrifice their needs to fulfill ours, they just want us to be successful. You guys can't understand the sacrifice of a father for his childs. We are successful due to their strictness and right decisions chosen by them for us.

23:53 Legal age for marriage in India is 21 for men and 18 for women. Please note the village scene in this movie is set in the 80s when the child marriage was common. Also, after 1823 the Britishers had changed the legal age for marriage from 21 to 14 for boys nd 12 for girls! Which was later modified after independence.

love your reactions..love how you guys explore our culture,emotions and react ...plz keep going..

Actually elise...that "cykalone" enunciation which you liked...he's actaully Raftaar..indian rapper...i think you should check out him...He hardly have any hater here..If you see this..i'll suggest you some of his work...Waiting.

I thought I’ll just clear the age confusion…child marriage is illegal in India. However, teen marriage can go under the radar in some rural areas with a lack of access to education and work. The life expectancy and job quality are low, so young boys and girls are married off. They have no other option unless the poverty and education are transformed. Also, It’s not an old man and young girl, but rather between two teens. But in most states, the average marriage age would be around 23 yrs.

The next hindi sports movie you should watch is "BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG" 💯😍

What do you think the choice of those girls would have been , having been brought up in an environment where girls are married off as teenagers ? They would never even dream of breaking off stereotypes unless the father didn’t show some high handedness . You will notice that is why he asked his wife time for a year. If the girls had displayed total lack of capability or interest he would have dropped the idea all together

This is an orginal story with the all four daughters of mahavir sir' and the 2 daughters of mahavir sir's brother became world class wrestlers winning international medals in all levels. So one family produced 6 female wrestlers who are the pride of the nation.

This Movie and plot is set in the most rural part of India. India is a Continent more than a Country. Everything under one Roof may it be Languages , Cultures , Traditions, ideologies etc. plus this plot when they were kids was set in the Late 90’s. The part of Rural India has changed tenfolds now especially in thought process.

Next target should be on Bajrangi bhaijaan Thanks @LifeAlmostWithoutus

The amazing thing is One of his Daughters fight in ONE FC

The girl who played role of Babita (Little girl) is no more. RIP 😢

Haircutting is part of being a wrestler because long hair can be a problem and distract u in wrestling matches ❤❤❤❤❤❤

When kids are small, they don't realize their potential. Parents do most of the time. The girl on the right is so proud after she became big, but doesn't want them to go through tough times. You aren't born with a choice, you need to earn it.

2:20 Aamir Khan is known for "breaking his own records". In each movie, he gives it his all to get the authentic look. He even pierced (I think ear/nose, but something) for a movie. I don't know much else :p 4:08 many ways to say "Bro", probably "yaar". But when you say "Bro look", you probably add "oi". "Oi yaar, dekh". "Bro" can be said using profanity, more so how a black person would use the N-word for his homie.

Good movie! I can see there are going to be some background discussions on this movie. lol! 25:40 The problem here is that your real world is very different from an Indian small rural village. Your moral perspective is only from your family and your experiences and your society and you have 0 clue about what happens in a rural village and how harsh it is. Now being a grown-up with that perspective, you take a moral stand that the father is wrong. I'm not saying you are wrong but just saying you know very little. It's like how you would compare a billion-dollar celebrity from your country and they speak about a common man issue and stupid solutions(They'll say like, save the planet and don't pollute... you common man. But that one millionaire would travel in a million-dollar plane to give that speech)as if they know and understand what that is. Sometimes, not most of the time, they may genuinely mean well for the welfare of the people but still, they would have no clue what really goes on in a common man's life. But hey, your perspective is your perspective and this is the reply I would say to you.

And also watch his transform video for this movie. Truly motivated.

Add Barfi in ur list !

Elise was against how Amir treated his daughters. That's what it takes to be a champion. If it was easy and normal everyone would do it.

In real life all his three daughters are Olympians 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

bro in india is "BHAI"...and it might be the most used word everyday in india wherever hindi is prominent language

This is the best time to upload 😍

25:33 i think cos of cultural difference the girl in white cant understand the situation of the bride girl..at that time in india women couldnt even do a job for themselves, women were treated like they are born to do only household work..but amir khan in movie at least making his daughter independent going against the society..and the place at which the movie is set up it is hell for girl child cos it was considered a curse to get a girl child

Parents play a vital role in maneuvering a child future. As a kid its difficult to make a choice on what we like and thats where parents step in. Also the film is set up back in 80s. Watching it as a Western perspective you got to see the asian parenting...yes it looks harsh but it turns a child into disciplined respectful and humble person.

the common phrase for "bro" in Hindi is '"yaar"' .. very versatile word.. :)

25:33 He said that he'll try for only one year tho. Not all parents think like that. Most parents send kids to particular schools they like, take courses they like and some even force kids to take certain careers in the name of "good salary" and "family business", like you saw in 3 idiots movie. But here, he's just giving it a shot. If the girls do not show improvement, he's willing to quit. I mean...he is an experienced wrestler and he must've seen the potential, which came out to be true by the end of the movie....

bro is bhai in hindi. In Mumbai street lingo we say "bhidu".

always love a channel with honest opinions, if they like a movie we know they genuinely liked it because they are not afraid to say if they don't like anything in the movie. always stay honest only then ur opinion will have a value. some people may get upset for a day if your reviews are not positive but they won't stop watching your content

The little girl from phogat sisters ritu phogat is #1 contender in one championship 🏆 MMA😂🎉

that classic utube tutorial soundtrack aah intro songs

Mahavir identified inherent potential in his daughters and worked hard for their bright future.

Thank you so much for starting YT membership 🙂

I loved to see that both the girls are giving their own opinion about main hero... hero can be at some point as initially the hero is forcing his daughters to be the wrestlers.... also there is another prospect that this movie is old timer where girls had no choice of their life...only choice is to work at home only

The legal age was always of 18 for girls to get married since so long! It's just that...in some rural places/villages/some low-minded Ppl used to get their daughter's marriage done in an early age!! But, it used to be done at THAT TIME! It was ILLEGAL at that tym too...Now it's a very rare case like maybe 5-7% cases like this..

Dangal means intense wrestling. Originated in India.

well when parents choose a career for their kids, they either love it or hate it.

Marriage Age is 18 for Girls not 14, 21 for Boys... many illegally do it at 14 in remote villages but very very rare if police knew about it.. they will be jailed

That drop Seoi Nage looked more like an Ippon Seoi Nage ... Cheers to Hugo Boss and Elise-Lisa in Wonderland ...

If you wanna get familiar to the south Indian industry and not just Bollywood, you should give a watch to 'Sita-Ramam', '777 Charlie' & 'Vikram'. 777 Charlie would make you cry, & that's why you should give it a watch.

25:45 Freedom without boundaries, is disastrous. Being kid you might not know what is right or wrong, you might not know do you have inherent talents that only certain people can notice. You might think it's oppression, but it will be you only who might be prosperous and healthy is you go through the pains it require. Humans are selfish by nature, and that has is required for survival, but greedy approach is not always the best approach. That's why I don't think what the lady in white thinks is right, I can understand where her feeling comes from is from motherly perspective or kindness and care, but kindness and care has to be regulated for your beloved to evolve, evolution is painful.

Yep, finally Dangal!!!!!
