M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story...... What an opening scene it is
when Captain cool decides to promote himself ahead of an in form Yuvraj in the
2011 world Cup final. It was a huge moment not only in the game but perhaps in
India's cricketing history..... Brings goose bumps even when you watch it in a
cinema hall.... And from then on, for next 3 hours plus, you watch the riveting
story unfold of how, coming from some nondescript place in then Bihar, MSD
became what he is today... Perhaps the best cricket captain India has ever
had.. Winner of 2 world cups and a captain who took us to world number 1
ranking in test matches......It's a story of some struggles as MSD endures a
frustrating wait of 5 years for his turn to play for India even as his
contemporaries like kaif, Yuvraj become established names in the Indian
team........then he plays that breakthrough innings of 148 against Pakistan and
the rest, as they say, is history. Why is everyone appreciating Sushant Singh
Rajput? You don't even get to see him in the film. He is MSD all the way. From
his walk, to his smile, to every little gesture he makes and of course his cricketing
shots, he is stunning. While it's a very enjoyable film without doubt, you
don't get to know anything new about MSD the man as far his decision making,
captaincy strategy, mind-set in critical moments and ability to handle pressure
is concerned. Wish they had delved into these aspects more. Also we never get a
view of his relationship with his fellow players and how he handled such big
personalities.
Maybe a sequel is in offing. 😇
