M.S. DHONI: THE UNTOLD STORY



M.S. DHONI: THE UNTOLD STORY : is a 2016 Indian biographical sports film written and directed by Neeraj Pandey starring Sushant Singh Rajput Disha Patani, Kiara Advani,Bhumika Chawla,Rajesh Sharma and Anupam Kher. It based on the life of Indian cricketer and the current ODI and T20I captain of the Indian national cricket team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

PLOT: MS Dhoni, who grows up with his passion of playing football. It is during one such match when his sports teacher Mr.Banerjee(Rajesh Sharma) spots his impeccable talent in goalkeeping. On his insistence, an initially reluctant Dhoni, then starts playing cricket. When Dhoni realises that he is only keeping wickets and not getting an opportunity to bat, he ‘creates an opportunity’ and starts smashing the ball in all directions, thus, impressing one and all. Things, then, start gradually moving forward for Dhoni, who, after playing for a handful of government organisations, lands up becoming a TC (Ticket Collector) at Kharagpur station and starts playing for the railways. As days pass, his job tires him physically and mentally, leaving him limited time for cricket practice. When frustration reaches its peak in Dhoni’s mind, he quits his railway job and comes back home, something that extremely annoys his father (Anupam Kher). Amidst all this, when Dhoni gets a call from the selectors to play for India, he does not play well on the ground, despite that being his first ever international match. He however gets insipired on meeting Priyanka (Disha Patani) who boosts up his morale and Dhoni regains his form. Just when life starts blooming for Dhoni, both, professionally and personally, an unexpected tragedy buoys him down miserably. Around this time, Dhoni happens to meet Sakshi (Kiara Advani). What is the calamity that stuns Dhoni, what happens to the blooming romance between Priyanka and Dhoni, what role does Sakshi play in his life and under what circumstances does MS Dhoni lead India to its historic win at the World Cup, is what forms the rest of the film.

PERFORMANCES: Sushant Singh Rajput, who is ‘MS Dhoni personified’ in every frame of the film.There are times when you actually land up feeling that Sushant Singh Rajput has transformed into M.S. Dhoni.All in all, this movie will surely be classified as Sushant Singh Rajput’s career best role. While Disha Patani makes a sparking debut with the film, Kiara Advani is average. Bhumika Chawla is decent and makes a comeback in Bollywood with this film. Veteran Anupam Kher does an exceptional role in the film.

MUSIC: composed by Amaal Mallik, Rochak Kohli.Some tracks like "Kaun Tujhe","Phir Kabhi","Besabriyaan" are good.

The film's screenplay (Neeraj Pandey, Dilip Jha) is extremely well-crafted and inspiring, which keeps the viewers engaged right from the word go. Besides doing complete justice to the life and lifestyle of M.S. Dhoni, the screenplay also helps in successfully mirroring his rise from a small town man to an international star.The film’s cinematographer (Santosh Thundiyil) has done a fine job.
There are many scenes that really touch your heart and stir the emotions.

Overall, MS Dhoni:The Untold Story is a must watch
