Movies are something that reflects culture, life, the tragedies and happiness, feelings, action and possibly all the parts that portray life and even beyond that- sometimes surpassing the imagination of a human brain. Lot of other people around me argue by the way that there are so many options for entertainment and we just have the choices to see that.
But thats my innate perception that we only can have the best view over a certain plot, some events and the directorial point of viewing a certain story and the narrative style of portrayal, with rhythmic and charismatic, cellular interpretation on the big screen are something that create a big impact on the audience and their mind. Some actors play dominant role and get successful by dint of their sense and strength of character, by sole performance and thats what a movie can create.
As it is very true like I said that, movies are so impactful, even the eyes of imagination go after one another with reality and the films mind that certain obsessive audience like to envision themselves personally as the lead character of the real life. Thats a by product and thereby I would say it creates some spaces for raising questions like, does cultures shaped by movies? Or do movies show the character of the audience and their personal choices and likings?

Well,these things could be the subjects to the psychological research and experimental manual, but I would like to pin point the fact that, bad movies can deviate a large number of young minds and the grown ups from their paths and get them involved in the tasks which bring negative results in the end, inversely - the good movies show the light, like the torches clarify the roads showing the darkness driven away with light.
There remain some movies that we watch multiple times, for me I always tried to select a general genre, that means I hated to be in a categorization to watch just a few specific movies with a target narrative. I normally have no personal choice to watch movies. But, there are also some movies which I watched on a repeated fashion, its like to rewatch them for a personal satisfaction, not out of a dire obsession or addiction towards the plot and the active performance of the characters I like personally.
Yet just a few days ago I went to a local theatre just to watch a movie which I watched in my phone for the first time, that was just a few years ago. On the brink of meeting with my friend, we have had some good hours at the local restaurant and then I took him to the theatre and it was just the beginning of the Indian movie, MS Dhoni - The Untold Story.Only the cricket playing nations and the associate do know very well about the man who is the person the biopic was made upon, the fame and legend he made which encouraged the film industry to build a biopic.

Almost all the biopics do portray the real life stories and events that happen genuinely in a persons life and on the process of showing that to the people and the audience, the plot authors and the cinematographers do take avail the sense of imagination and added texture of cinematic flavour which helps the film to look attractive and beneficial for the commercial look.
Looking at todays film,they mainly focus on the standpoints of commercialization, the box office success of a film and the reputation created by the fans acceptance and the audiences support which makes sure the director and the team to win prizes and awards for the credit of good performance. MSD really shows the protagonist, title character - how he struggled all across his life to be a cricketer in Indian jersey, familial and relationship crisis, the depression of losing favourite ones and hard earned success as a cricketer.
At one side, the movie made sure to tune in the best musical tones and vocalics, goody singers wrapping the lyrics and fusing melodies with the works of guitar chords - in one attribute, the musical compositions were just trendy and vibrant, rhythmic and motivating, inspiring and healthy.
But, more of which was the meaning of such songs that - it drew the exact lines that he went throughout his life.

MSD was the key player for Indian side for nearly two decades and in those lifespan India witnessed how the nation came out as the leading superpower for the game of cricket from the medium strength team with a few player of international calibre. He wore the cap as the leader at one side and gloves before the stumps and a dependable batter as a finisher. He bore testimony of hundreds of winning and dozens of series wins, the trinations to the Asia cup,Champions Trophy to the Remarkable 2011 world cup which he won hitting a legendary six at the end of falling overs and a glamour finishing to lift the most prestigious trophy of cricket.
But the movie depicts the time when he was a child and grew up in the suburbs of a small city, Sushant Rajput(acting as MSD), Kiara Advani and Disha Patani as side roles played the lead roles and the earliest phases of the movies showcased how motivated and moved he was in his childhood to play cricket, the desperation and drive, the energy and zeal,sky high dreams and the making of attempts to fulfill the dream was such an inspiration feat to watch.

When he was a school goer,at the sight of football tournament he wore goalkeeper gloves and could stop powerful shots at easy attempts, that was the time he developed the expertise as a brilliant goalkeeper,until a day he met with a father figure, a coach who introduced himself to an academy where he was directed to wear the wicket keeper gloves and catch relatively smaller ball, the cocaburaa cricket ball and after a few more trial he came up an excellent keeper and that was just the start.
It was his father who worked in a stadium with a duty just to pump and regulate water at the right time and with his small income, he ran his family with a great difficulty. Father wanted her son to a be a skilled officer and pursue his studies accordingly,but he had fascination not just in studies, but something else, it was playing cricket.
Now it was just not the bed of roses for him to be a cricketer and spend bucks after dollars in learning a new sport and engaging in leagues where they pay so little for playing. It is in such times where players start to become a half-pro, in divisional level and in the time of youth where family pressure folds on as to take responsibility of the family and he was passing such times.

He joined in a local railway platform as a ticket collector and a 9-5 job which was reasonably an inappropriate position to pursue his dream. At one side he solved all the problems of his family and on the other hand he used to play tennis cricket, of which he took as a soft skill to better his knowledge. But certainly depression started to kill him from inside and during such times he began to feel that his girlfriend to die in a road accident, and that was pathetic!!
The downs and outs were consistently harming his growth and he met with another woman who latter became his wife, but the girl used to give him enough inspiration that led him to be the better performer for his team.That was her love which ennobled him to have the best successes of a cricketer can have and by the time he reached the spot, its then when he earned a global reputation.
It is such a movie that teaches a person to be patient at the bad patches come one after another,being resilient at the pains and stitches that hurt, the tragedies that imped growth of life, the problems that inhibit us from doing what is essential. Life is full of struggles and so the uplifting spirit is what needed to surpass the times and motivating real life flaring examples like the movie can gear anyone up easily.

I would rate the movie 8/10, but there are some more visual effects and screenplay speed could have been manipulated easily, but same is for the direction and somehow important points have also been missed from the actual MSD's life, after all the movie is awesome and the late actor Sushant acted quite impressive fitting the real character to large extents.
This movie is Indian native movie and I am not sure whether there would be an English version or not, bur subtitles and dubbed version would be suitable and just for the spectator in English speaking classes.
