At the beginning of watching this movie, I couldn't understand what my father did. I felt that he should not impose his unfinished dreams on the children. When I saw him let the girls cut off the hair of Ji's two girls, I was really disappointed. They felt sad and felt that the father was too domineering. But after thinking about it again, if their father hadn't let them go down this path, if they hadn't trained them so hard, they wouldn't have succeeded, and they would have been like other Indian women, marrying at a young age and then raising their husbands and children. There is no status and no dignity to live. So it is said that the father made them successful, made them respected by everyone in India, and let everyone in India know that women can also be successful, can contribute to the country, and can realize their own value. It was very touching to see the father and his two daughters hugging each other and weeping at the end. When the national flag was raised, I could understand the father's actions very well.

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.
