Ms Dhoni – The Untold Story
Starring Sushant Singh Rajput
Directed by Neeraj Pandey
Rating: ** ½ (2 and a half stars)
There is a moment of reckoning in Dhoni’s life when getting on that moving train would mean the difference between life and stillness. That metaphorical moment when Sushant Singh Rajput, playing Dhoni as though by birthright, jumps on that train, shot with astute honesty and gritty resplendence by Santosh Thundiyil, is so brilliant in capturing the moment that changes a life from ordinary to something extra, that greedily one waits for more such moments in the vast stretches of storytelling that occupy Ms Dhoni – The Untold Story.
First thing;s first. There is nothing ‘Untold’ in this 3 hour-plus sprawling paean to one of the most iconic cricketers of our times. All we see for what seems like an eternity of playing-time are scene after scene from Dhoni’s life and career.

Let's get one thing straight. This is a film about subverted heroes. People who need big money so desperately they are willing to participate in a crazy game of life and death orchestrated by a man who has turned betting on human beings into a galloping global industry.
Sanjay Dutt strides across the wide screen and its accompanying pomp and paraphernalia, with leonine aplomb. He's accompanied by a cast that knows this film means macho business. And the ladies can just wait for the next installment of Ballika Vadhu at home.
However the real heroes of this tale of perverse heroism are the action(Allan Amin), dialogues(Soham Shah), locations(ranging from the super-rugged to the ultra-chic), the thundering ricocheting background score(Amar Mohile) and the cinematography(Santosh Thundiyil).
All these technical components enrich the experience of watching an extended video-game done at an adrenaline-defying speed.
So is Luck just...
