This is great. I love that the 14yr old cousin tells them how lucky they are to have a father teaching them to be great people NOT a great wife. I realize that they live in a different culture but I think this is a wonderful heart warming story that could be inspiring to all children that have a dream but are told they can’t do it for whatever reason. It’s also great for any parent showing to be supportive, encouraging, and loving no matter what
I thought the movie was really good and agree that the father didn't want them to have to get married .He might have not lived out his dreams but he gave his daughter's other opportunities that normally they would not have. He was a pioneer of sorts and forged a new way.
I would disagree, while it’s good that he didn’t force them to get married he did force his dreams and wishes onto them, something that a lot of Asian kids face.
@Ambuj Bansal Yeah, I get what you saying. But the girls grew into women that actually like it. SOMETIMES you gotta kinda force your kid in a direction. Had they continued to hate it after cousin married then they would’ve kept fckng off and losing matches intentionally. As a kid that had no passion for anything, I was always aloud to quit everything I tried. That not good for me at all. I think there needs to be a medium encourage but don’t force it and make it so (in their sitch) it’s sport or marriage.
As a matter of fact the coach (who is shown as a negative character) never actually felt jealous or had a problem with Mahavir, in fact they knew each other from a long time and had a lot of respect for each other. The ending, where it is dramatically shown that Geeta doesn't win until the last round, is fiction and in reality she won the game in just 2 rounds. And of course Mahavir wasn't locked up in real life and had seen his daughter win.
Its just drama, in real life the coach and the father knew each other and the tension in the movie is just for dramatic sake. She actually won the last match in a spectacular fast manner. hahaha
@Parth Khartalkar yeah those local boys weren't competing in Commonwealth's games. Had they gone up against the likes of Sushil Kumar, Yogeshwar Dutt etc, I'd have given a thought. 😅
@@uselesshero.official why would they go against the likes of Sushil Kumar or Yogeshwar Dutt? They belong to two different weight categories. That's like saying you cant be a pro shooting champion in olympics until you fight in a world war.
Based on read story!? That just made this film so so much better 🥺 the bond between the father and daughters are amazing, they respect and love each other so much.
Well yea but the coach wasn't really that much of a douche. He knew the father personally and respected him as well. I guess they kind of needed a villain of the movie and changed some parts.
This movie was the first that I saw in a cinema hall,our school organized for us all students to go see it...I love this movie very much,for all its messages and how inspiring it is.Thank you for recapping this movie!
I need to watch this movie. The father is always a motivation to me in his movies I have watched, unforgettable 3 Idiots - life is about passion, transformation, impact and not mere titles Like Stars - every child is special Watched them over 12years ago, now I have a 5+ son who is Dyslexic, that movie made me notice it My children have to watch this too, Girls and even boys can be anything they want
@@emabelesh9240 You can also watch a movie called Chhichhore it is also a similar movie like 3 idiots but it's based on depression and a pressure of a kid (It's basically a funny and an emotional movie)
@@giulianoaaronfrancoynsfran4858 He was trying to give them "exposure".He even said that if in an year they dont show any progress he'll give up on his dream.
Those are mostly Telugu movies lmao. My favorite genres as per Indian industries: Sports/Inspiration/Biopic ---> Bollywood Crime/Thriller/Mystery----->Bollywood and Malayallam Industries Fighting----->Tamil Industry
@@srirampatnaik9164 bro change your prospective of watching films . Do u know SHANKARABARANAM a telugu film which is selected for oscars from india . Check out . Half knowledge is dangerous . And bollywood 🤣🤣🤣 Literally a copywood I can tell u no of remakes of telugu films .
@@SatpalVerma000 Lol. Are PagdiCh@d. India/Bharat/AryaVrat exists more than 1000s of years. One of the oldest civilization, just name changed with time
If he hadn't prioritized you, you wouldn't be commenting here in English 🙂 every family has issues my friend mainly father vs kids🤣 even I had a tough time that my mom thought my dad may slam me into a coffin, so the year I completed graduation she send me to Dubai to my cousin so that no fights happen at home..I was also like you but now into my 40s I realize why my dad was what he was and what I couldve done right... P.S: my dad was twice all India unvsty wrestling champion😉
@@rhyssuy8361 he is a good man... He showed his disappointment in how they shown him in movie.. he said , during the game spectators will be far from the game , but in movie they shown like only her father guided her. . And about locking mahaveer somewhere is also false because in whole match he was there in spectating room watching the game till end Edit: some side scenes are just added for entertaining viewers
This brings back so many memories! Had a teacher that played this movie for us when I was in school. I love this movie it’s funny and made me cry at the end ngl
OMG, I'm so happy that u recaped an Indian movie, many people tell that Indian movies are garbage, lot of fiction and stuff, that might be true but a lot of movies are really great, just like this one, I hope u do more Indian movie recaps, thanks
You're wrong there mate , ig you're indian , WHEN THE FK DID YOU SEE INDIANS MAKING FICTION FILMS? Infact , we all would love that but sadly india only makes shitty movies like kabir singh and shit And when they actually make good movies with GOOD stories , it dosen't get the recognition it needs
The most successful Bollywood movie at the global box office was ( Hindi) 'Dangal', which generated 277 million U.S. dollars in box office takings worldwide as of 2020. Also It's Based on True Story .
The line where Aamir Khan (the one who played the role of Mahabir Phogat) said "Shabash" (Very good) in the end to Babita when she wins the match was iconic in the whole movie! ✨✨
Aamir Khan man. Nearly all of his performances in these movies are perfect. How can you not like this dude?! Also loved the message behind this movie alot!
Bro you should do more Indian movies because there is so many motivational, real story , inspiring movies out there. Like some of them are padman, Manjhi the mountain man, Subh Mangal ziyada sabdhan, badhai do , dam laga ke haisha, toilet ek Prem Katha, Gunjan Saxena, Mary Kom , airlift bhag Milkha bhag , manikarnika , Mimi these are based on true story , or social issues and so many others that I can't remember right now . It's my humbly request to you please 🥺 cover them up. ❤️
Begin the next day the new trainer fills their heads with his "so-called advanced training" and teaches them new techniques. What he fails to realize that the girls have a unique way of fighting and standard training wouldn't compliment them all, he labels his "impotence" as the real way to wrestle. You got to love the way the narrator narrates
@Kai Hamzah there is a movie called " Jai Bhim "- a real life story in which shows how corrupt the police officer's are. It is movie from south Indian industry.
I love to watch Indian movies on Netflix, with english subtitles of course. They make great films that people here in the West never get to see. Last one I saw was "Lucknow Central".
Very inspiring movie and one of the best true story, i don't know why my tears are falling, maybe because of the fatherly love to her daughters.. Thank you very much for the nice recap.
Every one needs a trigger, a someone or anything that might inculcate that nothing should be a hindrance to one’s goals. Inspiring too! I love it! Thanks😊
I watched this movie twice at the cinema and then once again on youtube. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen, if you haven't, I strongly recomend it.
Practicing wrestling is not what trying to be a man is, its hard to exactly define but its about a whole host mascuilin manuisms, reactions, beahvoirs, aspects of appearence etc all mixed together, and its the same with a man I mean he can grow long hippie hear but doesnt mean hes trying to be a woman, its not about some aspecsts its about the majority of aspects that tend to define a gender
I luv this movie! I’m actually a wrestler myslef and had heaps of people say girls can’t do wrestling to me My dream is to get a medal in the Olympics! So far I’ve been training for 3 years I’m 11 yrs old Edit: I just looked at the replies there so sweet!
I really did enjoy watching this movie. It was more inspiring to me when I found out that it was based on a true life story. The movie did made me so emotional, i was literally wiping tears of my eyes 😂.
This was the movie that inspired me to persue my dream in boxin and I started training after watching the movie and i also reached national level but couldn't win the first time but I am trying again
Not only amir khan ...now a lot of inspiring movies are coming.....see Sardar udham singh.....its a masterpiece in terms of cinematography and film making....one of the best bollywood films which can even beat holywood standards but sadly such kind of movies don't get nominated for Oscars in our country.....
This was based on true story too. The first scene where we see him ripped was shot at the end of the shooting. Amir Khan wanted to do this because he was afraid after putting so much weight what if he couldn't lose it, hence just to shoot the beginning scene he had to get back in shape.
An amazing story and recapped really nicely. I have to ask (of anyone who has seen this film): is this considered a “Bollywood” movie? Like where they break out in song and dance numbers every so often? I’d hope not since it looks like it’d be a disservice to this story, but I’m curious because I hate musicals and don’t know enough about Bollywood to discern if ALL movies have songs and dance numbers or if regular stories do exist without them.
Oh, there is music and maybe one dance. But it isn't an quintessential Bollywood romantic flick for it to feature Spontaneous Music and dance, music and song here is used as device to further the plot, example an exercise montage has a song describing "how the dads method is harmful for the girls"
not all the bollywood movies have songs where they randomly start dancing, they're just infamously known for that. This doesn't have any though. These days they just use it as a background song, alongside the story progressing.
Indian movies have a lot of lyrical music in it, but that doesn't mean that they are like musicals. Most of the good quality movie which are not just a 'fun formula films', use music establish the emotional connection needed for the narration and they are usually used during series of scenes in quick progression of time where it's hard to convey the emotion with appropriate music, similarly in flashback scenes and such.
This is a great movie Dangal the message is about womens empowering being belittle by men but his father shows that a girl is not only for household chores and married and nothing instead can do more. I really love this movie very inspiring.
You got to love the father when the daughter comes home and now thinks she better than him due to her so-called training, but the father does not assert his dominance, nor does he engage her by telling her that his training is better he just listens. When she was trained by her father she won every match, when she was trained by this new coach she lost every time. It does not take a genius to see which training is better and she only beat her father because he was old but his training still stands. Her new training allows her to eat fried food, drink, etc and she wonders why she losing all the time.
"the father does not assert his dominance, nor does he engage her by telling her that his training is better he just listens." He literally slams her on the ground and calls out how weak her method was.
This was a great recap! Now, this comment is going to be too long so brace yourself before clicking "read more". Many people criticised this movie for glorifying the act of parents forcing their dreams on their children. Yes, if we look at this story from our privileged perspective, what the father did seems toxic. I agree that irrespective of one's privilege, forcing their dreams on someone is toxic. But if we look at the story from the angle of the thousands of Indian women who are instead forced to marry and take care of their in-laws', we can say that the father was just giving their children another option in a way that he knew. The way that he knew was only wrestling. If you look back, even our own parents gave us options in the ways they knew - the difference being they had more options for us and we were able to try many paths and choose the right one. That wasn't the case with these girls. Also, the father clearly stated that he was just trying for a year. Had the girls not shown any interest or got motivated enough by the end of that year, he definitely would have stopped and let them be. Edit: as someone rightfully stated in the replies, the father decided to train them only after seeing the girls defend and beat up their bullies, thus realising their potential in the sport. I doubt whether the father would have even bothered to know whether they could be wrestlers had that incident not taken place. There are many interviews of the real sisters portrayed in this movie, confirming almost everything shown in the movie to be trus, except the obviously fictional climax. The only thing that they didn't agree with, in the movie, is that initially they did more tricks than what is shown in the movie to stop their father from training them 😂.
I would say his father only trained them when he found the potential in them. The talent was there and its the parents responsibility to push their child for greatness. Parents have experience and they know the good and the bad.. He trained them,made them physically fit and gave a mission. But it was the daughter's choice to follow it once they became adults.
I actually dont know how many thousand times i have watched this like it would just come up on tv and i didnt refuse to watch even though i had already watched it before, this happened quite a lot actually and since i found the movie really interesting i didnt mind watching it multiple times :]
This is like another movie I've heard about! I'm not sure what the other movie was called, or who was in it, but I think it had to do with siblings that were brother and sister, and just sisters. And the whole family was into it too, not just one parent. But the premise of going 'against the grain or norm', is pretty much the same. But the movie I'm mentioning is a comedy, where as this is more inspiring and 'drama' if that, for the struggle part and overcoming something.
Well this movie is actually a biopic based on an exceptionally true story/events. So considering it in a “drama” category might be kinda condescending. Just sayin yk Lol 😅☺️
@@divyaanshtripathi I realized towards the end of the movie. My bad 🙏 I did really like the story as a whole. But it is really similar to another story that might be also a biopic depending if I can remember the title and find that info about it. Although that again, is still a seperate storyline and completely different from this one ❤️
The girl who played babita(young) is my senior, when I was in grade 5 she was in grade 6. I remember that time when the school was flooded with banners of dangal.
