I was sobbing like a fool without control when I watched Dangal. The performance of Aamir Khan is awesome! You should firmly believe that all the contempt would eventually turn into applause! The film is well worth seeing.
I watched this attractive movie in my spare time. It is indeed an excellent movie. I was touched by the dream, inspiration, and tenderness in it. Aamir khan has all the craftsmanship of acting. The movie is so so so wonderful, I highly recommend it.
Dangal is a blockbuster that highlights feminist and dream. Aamir Khan is worthy of being called an Indian treasure level actor.
It was the second time that I stepped into the cinema to watch Dangal, which touched me just again. When the lights up I saw my friend still wore tears around her face. It is still a wonderful movie despite its deep themes of feminism and patriotism. It shocked me to make female wrestling a excellent plot in it. And I even felt the nervousness from a boy sit next to me during the watch ! Aamir Khan is so cool, and is a real actor will never disappointed his audience.
Dangal is as wonderful as another Indian movie 3 idiots. Aamir Khan's performance is freaking awesome.
Khan is best known in China for his appearance in the 2009 comedy film Three Idiots. He is the symbol of Indian films for Chinese people.
The film is rated 9.2 out of 10 by movie watchers on douban, a well-established film review website in China.
