M. S. Doni - The Untold Story is inspired by the true events from the life of India's World Cup winning captain, as per the disclaimer in the beginning of the movie. The movie turns out to be one of the best made by Neeraj Pandey till date.
The movie traces the story of Mahendra Singh Dhoni from his school days when his talent was discovered to the World Cup win in 2011. The movie can be clearly distinguished into two parts - the first half is all about his struggle to get into the Indian Cricket Team and the second half is about his personal life and some cricketing achievements. I actually expected the second half to be more about cricket with stories about the controversies that he faced as a captain, but they were passed off as just some news stories in between. Any effect that these controversies had in his life are not a part of the movie. This I felt was one of the misses of the movie. How he handled these controversies would have helped the audience delve deeper into the mind of the cricketer as a person. The movie does trace his love life, which has been shown beautifully, and gives the audience a different part of his character that they had not yet seen. Thus even though the controversies are missed, it does not really hamper the movie. The movie is is entertaining and leaves you on a high.
Shushant Singh Rajput as Mahendra Singh Dhoni is superb. Seeing him on screen feels like you are watching M. S. Dhoni on screen. He has captured all of the cricketers mannerisms wonderfully and credit should be given to him. All the supporting cast including Anupam Kher as the father, Bhumika Chawla as the sister, Kiara Advani as Sakshi and Disha Patani as his first love interest are good, which helps in lending credibility to the story.
Neeraj Pandey as the director has brought to life the story of Mahendra Singh Dhoni with his taught direction and crisp storyline. This is one of the best movies that he has directed so far, only behind A Wednesday in terms of the impact it makes on the audience.
The music of the movie is good and it takes the story forward. Pick of the lot are Kaun Tujhe and Jab Tak which capture the essence of the love story really well. The editing is also very good with the real match scenes being intermingled with the storyline.
Overall the movie is a very good watch and all cricketing fans should go and watch the movie to get to know the story if the man's success.
Rating - 4 / 5
