wrestling, dad

First of all, let’s start with India. India is a very patriarchal country. Girls get married at the age of 14 and meet a completely unfamiliar man, just to lighten the burden on the family. The exception is one family in the film, the dad who failed to compete in international wrestling. So, he wanted to give birth to a boy to fulfill his wish, but gave birth to four girls. One day, I stumbled across my two daughters who were good at wrestling, and I trained them until they entered the national wrestling competition and entered the National Sports Academy. The coach misled the eldest daughter, Geeta, into forgetting the tricks and rules that her father taught her, and taught her some useless tricks, which cost Geeta a missed opportunity and changed her mind. The younger sister, Babita, did not forget her original intention and continued to insist on her father's wrestling teaching. Geeta was finally persuaded by Babita's advice. Her dad continued to coach Geeta, who won the championship. This is a true story, and it seamlessly stitches together the great truths of life; people can't be stubborn, they must learn to empathize; and then they must persevere, can't give up easily, and give up halfway; The problem; then don't forget the original intention; in the end, you can achieve success, but also the success of all those who support you!

Dangal quotes

  • Mahavir Singh Phogat: You have to fight in a way that people will remember you. If you win silver, sooner or later, you will be forgotten. If you win gold, you will be an example, And examples are given, child... not forgotten. See those girls? If you win tomorrow, you will not win alone. Millions of girls like them will win along with you. It will be a victory for every girl who is considered inferior to boys; who is forced into household chores, who is married off to just raise children. Tomorrow's match is the most important one. Because tomorrow, we are not fighting just that Australian, but all those people who think lesser of girls.

    Mahavir Singh Phogat: All along, I was desperate for a son so he could win a gold in wrestling for India. But what didn't occur to me was that gold is gold. Whether won by a boy or a girl.
