About
You’ll like Dangal if you enjoy emotional sports dramas with big determination, strong performances, and uplifting family focus; Not for you if you want a shorter movie or prefer lighter viewing without controversy, and if Mary Kom or English Vinglish don’t appeal.
Pros: inspiring true story; gripping wrestling battles; heartfelt performances | Cons: runs long; can feel slow; training methods criticized
