Really Surprised!

One of my all time favorites.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Paan Singh Tomar is a movie about poor man from a remote village of India. He achieves the honor of breaking various records in racing. After getting retired, there is a dispute that sets against his family. Even a national asset is not supported by officials, this in turn makes him a dacoit. The story goes further, he and his associates kill several people for wealth, helping poor. Gradually he dies at the hands of police and story ends.A movie is now made for suffering national assets, an extra mark for that. Even the Olympic champions sometimes do not gain the deserving respect from officials (in the form of making a living at ease). Government must arrange for certain ways that this doesn't happen at least to people who are nation's pride. I personally did not like Irrfan's acting, a negative mark for that. Somebody who's more flexible physically, would have been well suited for the role. A movie worth a watch, because of the message it sends.Rating: 8.0/10

India typically focuses on cricket as we see it as a religion, but times have changed. Other sports in the past were not given much attention, such as steeplechase running in this case. This is the story of one of the best steeplechase runners in India who became a dacoit due to circumstances in his life. Paan Singh Tomar is an army officer who joins the athletics division as his performance wows his army seniors. Soon he becomes a steeplechase runner for India and achieves national stardom. Soon he is involved in a dispute in his village which eventually leads him to become a dacoit. Tomar went from a national level athlete to a dacoit. His transition and his life as a dacoit form the rest of the story. Tigmanshu Dhulia directs, in my opinion, a soon to be cult classic that tells the true story of one of India's forgotten athletes. The story is well written and as a result, the acting is flawless. Irrfan Khan is exceptional as Paan Singh Tomar as he plays the performance with ease. His transition from an army officer to an athlete to a dacoit make it all believable. As a result of his acting, he won the National Award for Best Actor for films released in 2012. In the end of the day, I truly recommend this movie to film goers out there, whether you like sports or not. It is a film no one should skip out on.

A die-hard patriot and an international level athlete who is forced to become a dacoit or should I say 'Baaghi'. Commendable performances by almost the entire cast right from Irrfan Khan to the nervous journalist (Bijendra Kala). Mahie Gill matches steps with Irrfan in a fiery and yet restrained performance. I hand my hat to Tigmanshu Dhulia for crisp dialogues, subtle humor and bringing out the Chambal live to you. You can actually feel the grime and dust of the infamous land. Needless to say Irrfan Khan has delivered superlative performance. He has defined what is called as an 'Effortless Performance'. I hope that this movie brings him the most deserved laurels as he brought the same to the movie. 'Irrfan Khan is Pan Singh Tomar'.
