Paan Singh Tomar

Huma Mall, Mumbai

Status - 60%


A real life story of UNSUNG hero who died in the encounter on October21, 1981. Paan Singh was a small town lad who went on to win the steeplechase at the Indian National Games for seven consecutive years. First Half of the movie is full of about Paan singh works who as a Army but his running ability takes him to next level and then he becomes a sportsperson from national level to international level. Second Half is all about family war and disrespect towards sports and the reason Paan Singh becomes a Dacoit. The director Tigmanshu Dhulia has done lots of reasearch on Paan Singh and that hard work is shown in the movie. Marvelous directing. Hats off to him to make such a brilliant movie.

Acting wise Irfan Khan just steals the show. His dialogue delivery, acting, action, expression were so perfect as if we will feel he was not acting he was living in that character. A standing obsession for him. He deserves a national award. He is a natural actor for sure.
Mahie Gill,  Vipin Sharma and all other characters have done their role nicely.

The movie doesn't have any songs but that was OK but it has good background music.

I don't have any negativity about the movie.


Verdict - 8.5/10 (A must watch)
