Copy of Chariots of Fire


Few things I don't like:-
1. When Aamir Khan got locked inside the room during the final match of her daughter, you I found that ending very predictable because I have seen Chariots of Fire. In Chariots of Fire the coach of the protagonist has not gone to see his race because he felt that his student will feel nervous infront of him and will not be able to perform to his best. In the ending he find that his student has won by seeing the flag of england going at the top. That scene was very reasonable. Similar scene was attempted to be created in Dangal, where Aamir got locked in the room, which seems very unnatural. I mean how a coach can do that who is so busy which with her student, that was very cheap bollywood style and seems very irrelevant
2. Fighting Sequences were very similar to cindrella man, where just the boxing was replaced by the wrestling, otherwise the way the camera focusses on the Aamir telling how to attack was very similar to coach of Russel crowe.

Wrestling sequences were pretty similar to boxing sequences ?

Wrestling sequences were similar to Titanic climax ,
just the Ship drowning was replaced by wrestling.

I also like his movies and I have to accept your are right. A 7/10 is a good honest score. Totally predictable, especially 1st half.
and yes Aamir Khan getting locked was super cheap!

reply

First half was very good
