M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016)

Overrated and overhyped

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I for one love Dhoni and believe the guy is much bigger than he is made out to be. He is that one inspirational Indian sportsman of our times who exemplified winning. The movie on his life is well made and truly sticks to its title, telling us everything about the guy which we didn't know including his tragic love story. Must watch for Dhoni fans.

As a biopic, the film has left out a lot of controversies in Dhoni's life but as the title suggests the film wants to tell the untold story rather than the known history of Dhoni. As a film, it was inspirational and entertaining. There were a lot of areas that could've been better but it works well enough.

Sushant Singh Rajput's talent comes full circle with 'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story'. As the cricket legend, Sushant gives his all in a performance, that comes across as an embodiment, rather than an impersonation. 'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story' explores the life of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, right from his journey from being a ticket collector, to a trophy collector and the world-cup-winning captain of the Indian Cricket Team.Director Neeraj Pandey chooses a worthy true-story as his latest project, but succeeds only partially. The film is too long at 3-hours & the Writing is never remarkable. Of course, Dhoni is a man made of pure merit, who's seen tremendous struggle, before emerging into a phenomenon. But, 'The Untold Story' has an average Screenplay, that arrests in parts.Pandey & Dilip Jha's Screenplay is alright. Despite choosing to tell the story of a real-life euphoric figure, the Writing never soars. It works in parts & works best when it sees its protagonist off the pitch. Also, the Dialogue are surprisingly weak. Definitely, a much stronger Screenplay was the need of the day! Pandey's Direction is decent. Cinematography & Editing are fair. Music by Various Artists, is melodious.Performance-Wise: Sushant is great, no two options on that! Of the rest of the cast, Anupam Kher is remarkable as Dhoni's father, delivering a genuinely heartfelt performance from start to end. Rajesh Sharma is wonderful as Banerji, who's the first to realize Dhoni's potential. Kumud Mishra excels as well. Bhumika Chawla as Dhoni's Sister is nice & its refreshing to see her on-screen after so long. Kiara Advani as Dhoni's Wife & Disha Patani as Dhoni's Girlfriend, are strictly okay.On the whole, 'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story' rests on Sushant Singh Rajput's genuine talent to sail through.

The story line of its Movie is really very inspiration which inspired everyone if we have the power to proof himself then no one can't stop us to go ahead.there are so many family & social issue which discourage him but he create a proper balance with them and find a common way to go ahead, the movie present its story in very strong way,after watching its movie with our incoming generation,they also ask us,is it possible ?,this is very important question which divert their mind set toward betterment. this is the story of a boy who give new Direction & set some milestones in history of world cricket ,inspired our next generation,how an leading qualities are developed in Their attitude .Movie is a very effective media which have impact on the mental assessment of our youths such healthy and inspiration entertainment is always welcomed and accepted in society.
