Unlike Geeta, Babita remains in her mind the teaching of his father. At the academy, Babita witnessed
the new Geeta specifically when Geeta lose to win the first round of the International Competition and
seems like Geeta was not affected by her defeat which is totally different from his past attitude when

B. MOVIE CRITIQUE
The movie "Dangal" was an incredible bollywood movies despite the long range of time
watching the movie it does'nt feel boring because every scene and actions is awaited. Also the
actors especially all the wrestlers were incridibly good in every wrestling scene. Their actions
comes naturally as if the actors were like a real wrestler. But the perfections of this movie
cannot escape the criticism. The movie wanted to show and emphasize the story the two girl
wrestler Babita and Geeta but when you analyze carfully and deeply the movie it turns out like
the whole movie revolves in Mahjavir life and his dream a frustrated ex-wrestler whixh is the
father of the two young lady. It reveals from the start of the show when he forced her
daughters to join wrestling until the last part of the movie wherein it focused on the
achievement of Mahjavir dream through the works of her daughters. The movie should have
give more emphasizes on the story of the two girl lessening the scenes of Mahjavir ambitious
dream and improve Mahjavir fatherhood role to her daughters for the movie to feel more
dramatic on achieving the dream of her daughters.
C. REFLECTION
In the movie Dangal, It shows the social status of every girl in India specifically in the town of
Babita and Geeta where the discriminantion in every girl was a hindrance in their dream. The
movie "Dangal" does not only emphasize feminism, the freefom of every woman to take their
own decesions. Also gender equality, the equality of men and women and free to develop ther
perosnal abilities without the limitations set by stereotypes. This movie shows the journey of
the two girl in their wrestling career and how they overcome criticism in their gender. The two
were striving hard to inspire and give a chance to every girl in their town and change the
mindset of every individual in their community that wrestling is not intended for boys and the
believes of everyone in theri community that female are expexted to be expriesive, weak,
caring and remains at home to take care of baby and manage the needs of his husband while
male are expected to be an instrument, dominant, hardworking and earning. Their triumph in
every wrestling competition proves the capability of every girl in everything and supress the
criticism to every girl in their town. It also shows the realistic learning development and
maturation of a person in which skills and knowledge is not only acquired and mastered at
school.
III. CONCLUSION
Therefore, the movie was intactly good and and amusing from its creation and actor the delivery of the
message that the movie wanted to convey to its viewers. For two hours watching the movie I did not
feel any boredom. As a matter of fact, I was really entertained compare to other bollywood movie I have
watched. I can not judge it perfectly excellent because there are some sides of the movie I am not
satisfied as I stated on my critic paper.
