The film starts
with 2011 World Cup final match and then goes in flashback and thus starts the
journey of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. What follows is Dhoni's story through hurdles,
rejections, job of ticket collector, beautifully supported by a lovely family,
good friends, supporting coach, brief but moving love story and finally earning
the coveted blue Indian jersey.
The
story from there on is about a player who transforms into a captain and takes
some tough calls.
Towards
the end, the film circles back to what it had started with, that is captain
cool creating history with his iconic sixer over long on and winning the
cricket world cup for India after 28 years.
Taking
about performances, Sushant Singh is good and believable as Dhoni.
Supporting cast that included Anupam Kher, Bhumika Chawla, Disha Patani, Rajesh
Sharma and Kiara Advani to name a few, contributed beautifully.
The
film has moments from cricket history but they'll still hit you as if you are
watching them for the first time. The film is long but leaves an impression on
you and strikes your emotional cord. The film's flow is smooth.
Mahi's
passion for bikes is subtly put forth and the discovery of his famous
helicopter shot is something his fans wouldn't wanna miss.
I
give 3.5 stars to MS Dhoni: The Untold Story.
