M.S.Dhoni: The Untold Story Review: A Smashing Half Century followed by a Composed Century

The film has some really fantastic performances, especially from the not so popular actors and the casting choices are a big plus for the film. Sushant Singh Rajput wonderfully gets the body language and style of Dhoni right, and his is an earnest performance indeed. (more)

This cricket movie hits sufficient sixes making the "Dhoni Dhoni" chants reverberate in the theatre.

However the biopic loses its momentum in the second half with Dhoni's love life getting undue prominence. Also, the cricketer's questionable decisions or possible vices are mostly overlooked. His tiff with the senior players (Sehwag, Gambhir), rivalry with Yuvraj Singh, love-hate relationship with the media, team politics and criticism faced on occasions, barely find a passing reference. As a full-fledged biopic, this one-dimensional approach towards the lead character leaves you a tad discontented. But since you see the film through Dhoni's eyes, it' justified as one rarely sees faults in oneself. (more)

Sushant Singh Rajput's film is insipid PR for Mahi

Overall though, the screenplay lacks insights and depth. MS Dhoni: The Untold Story starts off well but does not seem to know where to go from there. If Neeraj Pandey needed to be this careful, perhaps he should have manufactured an antiseptic bottle instead of making a film.(more)
