As soon as the World Cup was handed over to Dhoni, my friend and I started to shout at the top of our voices with tears streaming down our eyes like the Angel Waterfalls which is acclaimed as the highest uninterrupted waterfalls in the world. Flashes of the wonderful memories hit me like Roman Reign's Spear! And when Sushanth walked down the stairs, it was as if Dhoni had somehow magically materialized on the big screen to relive the 2011 WC finals once again. Such was the extent of attention to detail he had given to his role that it seemed like the complete consciousness of Dhoni was transferred to Sushanth through advanced medical technology and surgery!
Be it in his attitude, smile, deportment and mien, Sushanth has literally lived as Mahi. It really showed his meticulous commitment and dedication to shoulder the heavy burden as the Captain of Indian Team who is not only an excellent finisher but also an inspiring figure to many people. Born and brought up in Ranchi, the man rose to the highest level of the politics infested Indian Team in a very short period of time courtesy his admirable confidence, astute cricket acumen and his exceptional performances with his willow. And the movie exactly covered his arduous journey from being an aspiring goal-key to be one of the world's respected and renowned cricketer thanks to his school coach.
The first half sped away like a F1 car. Before you know, it was pitstops! And the time was ahead by an hour and half! Not even a single dull moment which captured his early life from his humble origins. Anupam Kher and Bhumika played their respective parts as a caring father who wants a safe and secure career for his son and a loving sis who supports his ambition and gives wings to his dreams. But, it was Disha Patani who stole the thunder from them as Mahi's girlfriend. Despite the fact that she had very limited screen time, her effervescent persona really made an impact not only on the audience but also on our Captain Cool's life.
Unfortunately, it was the romance sequences which also pulled down the accelerating speed of the movie in the second half. MSD - The Untold Story could have also shown the other real facts like his controversies with Lakshmi Rai, spat with Yuvi and Gauti and the IPL spot fixing scandal though his name was cleared. All these would have shown that MSD is as normal and a vulnerable person as anyone else. People may have connected with him better despite the fact the he is one of the highly successful people who had come from an ordinary middle class family whose normal mentality is to have a decent job, government means better!, thus stifling their children's passion and yearning to follow their instinctive desire for their earning. It happens with most of the kids in India.Why even our MSD was not spared by the system!
MSD - The Untold Story did not consecrate Mahi as a Saint! Other than that the director has given the most positive side of Dhoni which will definitely fire the enthusiasm of the younger generation to take bold and daring risks in their lives to create their lives as colorful as the rainbow.
Likewise, the director should have recommended the theatres to hand out the tissues prior to the movie's commencement. As there were loud cheers when MSD wore the yellow jersey, my lachrymose was very evident and unrestrained due to happiness when the ball was once again thwacked into the crowds with the typical MSD signature shot.
