(According to Diwakar Sharma M.s. Dhoni: The Untold Story is a 5 star movie)

the biopic on india’s celebrated skipper, ms dhoni (played by sushant singh rajput) is the cricketer’s ode to his well-wishers, friends and family, who stood by him at all times - in success and failure. their immense contribution in fulfilling his dream, his faith in himself and ability to battle professional and personal setbacks, forms the story.sushant internalises his character and becomes msd, without heavily mimicking the cricketer. he even nails his iconic helicopter shot and restrained personality. neeraj pandey recreates dhoni’s ranchi life beautifully. he keeps it authentic and relatable. this one scene shot at kharagpur station particularly stands out. sushant is seen trying to make his way through a sea of people. but since you see the film through dhoni’s eyes, it’s justified as one rarely sees faults in oneself. nonetheless, this cricket movie hits sufficient sixes making the ‘dhoni dhoni’ chants reverberate in the theatre.

(According to Diwakar Sharma Anna is a 3 star movie)

kisan baburao “anna” hazare is an indian social activist who led movements to promote rural development, increase government transparency, and investigate and punish corruption in public life.tanishaa mukerji as the journalist trailing anna’s roots, rajit kapur as the anchor at abp channel are merely used to take the narrative forward. they are flat and perfunctory. on the writing front, some scenes are lazily crafted. they do not go beyond the dramatisation of the event. especially evident is the scene when during the 1965 war in khemkaran sector anna’s colleagues are killed in an aerial attack.overall, the film does deliver what it set out to do.
