Watched the movie 'M S Dhoni 2 days back- The untold story' with Ammar......what an emotional 3 Hrs it has been for me.....my city Ranchi......my school DAV Shyamali....my sports teacher Bannerji Sir.....Mecon Stadium just behind my school where i saw many a Bihar Ranji match.....Deval Sahay & Chanchal Bhattacharya....big names in Ranchi Cricket who supported Dhoni.....The Sardarji owner of Raj Sports.....they all prominently figure in the movie.....very well researched & well made. Hats off to Sushant Singh Rajput for almost doing the unthinkable.....convincingly playing Dhoni while Dhoni is still very much around.....for me an unforgettable nostalgia trip......
The second half is a bit of a drag. But the part before he became famous is just fabulous.
The movie also is an out an out glorification of Dhoni's career, there are no grey shades like the CSK betting scandal etc. Also the dropping of Sehwag, Gambhir and Laxman is dealt with in a very mild manner. So clearly the movie didn't want to ruffle any feathers.
But just for the first half, the movie is a 'paisa vasool'. And for anyone remotely connected with Ranchi.....a must watch........
