This is a biopic of an Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni (played here by Sushant Singh Rajput). The movie traces his life from his days as a young athlete and a football lover, all the way till how he became one of the greatest batsman and an outstanding captain of the Indian cricket team. It shows the family drama he had to face. Contribution of the people who helped him on his path, including the love of his life is also well cast. The best thing about the movie is, that if you are a fan of cricket, then you will be thrilled by the scenes when the crowd cheers for him, when he comes on the field to bat! Some of the scenes were very well directed, but then again, the clippings from match were quite monotonous somewhere.

Over 59 days, the Indian government systematically flew over 488 Air India commercial flights into a war zone to evacuate all 1,70,000 Indians and safely bring them back home.It is inspiring in its own way, and it will send a tinge of respect towards India, of what the country is capable of, but on the downside, it also shows that how few politicians in the higher hierarchy, do not care about their own people in times of of distress and ignore some of the most difficult situations.
