Well-intended and sincere film with a good message, and it tugs at your heartstrings.
On the whole, don’t miss Dhoni. The beauty of the narration is that the message applies to everyone and it might change your life. (more)

An innings worth an ovation
It really should go down as a wonderful coincidence; movies that make valid comments on the educational system are a rarity in Indian cinema. But, in the space of one month, there have been two movies that have done a wonderful job of it. Nanban talked about college education, Dhoni talks about schools; but they both have a similar message – follow your heart. While many might not completely agree with everything that has been said in the movie, there will be many points that make you nod your head in approval and even introspect. And, Prakash Raj, thanks for finally deciding to direct; please, let this not be a one off attempt.(more)

Dhoni is definitely worth a watch.
It's a treat to watch films that move away from showcasing unrealistic situations and people, to something that focuses almost exclusively on the travails of the middle class man who struggles to make ends meet, feed his children, educate them and try to make their dreams comes true. (more)

Dhoni is Average
Instead of reaching the potent climax that the film had set itself up for or giving its characters the opportunity to evolve, Dhoni becomes a social statement we've heard before. -(more)

Admirable line and length
Dhoni's tagline, ‘Not Out,' is an understatement. ‘A Straight Six' is more like it. So what if the film is about cricket? It's Advantage Dhoni!(more)
