-== Plot ==
-[[Mahavir Singh Phogat]], a former [[amateur wrestler]] trained in the [[pehlwani]] style of [[Indian wrestling]], is a national wrestling champion residing in [[Balali]], [[Haryana]]. His average Indian father forces him to give up the sport to obtain gainful employment. Dejected he could not win a medal for his country, he vows that his unborn son will. Disappointed on having [[Phogat sisters|four daughters]], he gives up hope. But when his older daughters [[Geeta Phogat|Geeta]] and [[Babita Kumari|Babita]] come home after beating two boys in response to derogatory comments, he realizes their potential to become wrestlers and begins coaching them.
-His methods seem harsh, including grueling early morning workouts and short forced haircuts. Despite facing [[Gender inequality in India|backlash from the villagers]], he goes ahead with them, training them in his makeshift mud pit. Initially, the girls resent their father for his treatment but soon realize that he cares for their future. Motivated, they willingly participate in wrestling tournaments where they defeat boys. Unable to afford wrestling mats, Mahavir uses mattresses and trains them in [[freestyle wrestling]] to prepare them for competitive events. Geeta goes on to win the junior and senior championships at the state and national levels before heading to the National Sports Academy in [[Patiala]] to train for the forthcoming [[2010 Commonwealth Games|Commonwealth Games]].
-Once there, Geeta makes friends and begins to disregard the discipline taught by Mahavir under duress from her coach Pramod Kadam, whose training methods and wrestling techniques completely differ from her father's. Therefore, she loses every match at the international level. During a visit home, she defeats a visibly exhausted Mahavir in a ferocious bout after egotistically mocking him. Babita reminds Geeta of her mistake and that she should respect Mahavir. Soon after, Babita wins the national championship and follows Geeta to the academy. After the two sisters have an emotional conversation in which Babita provides her encouragement, Geeta tearfully makes peace with Mahavir.
-Before the Commonwealth Games, Pramod forces Geeta to compete in the [[Wrestling weight classes|51 kg weight class]] rather than in her usual 55&nbsp;kg. Irritated upon learning this, Mahavir goes to Patiala with his nephew Omkar and begins coaching the girls secretly. Learning about this, and furious with Mahavir's interference, Pramod wants the girls expelled; the sports authority issues a warning but allows them to continue. Mahavir is barred from entering the academy, and the girls are forbidden to go out. Determined to continue assisting his daughters, Mahavir obtains tapes of Geeta's previous unsuccessful bouts and coaches her by pointing out her errors over the phone.
-At the games, competing in the [[Wrestling at the 2010 Commonwealth Games – Women's freestyle 55 kg|55 kg class]], Geeta eases her way into the final. Mahavir constantly contradicts Pramod's instructions while sitting in the audience, and she follows her father's instructions instead. Just before the gold medal bout, jealous Pramod conspires to lock Mahavir in a room.
-In the bout, Geeta manages to win the first session but loses the second. Trailing 1–5 in the final session and with nine seconds left, she recalls the tactics taught by her father and a [[Freestyle wrestling#Match scoring|5-pointer]], and executes it on her opponent in the final three seconds, taking the score to 6–5 in her favor, thus winning the session and the bout 2–1. In the process, she becomes the first Indian female wrestler to win gold at the Commonwealth Games. Mahavir returns just in time to embrace his daughters, dashing Pramod's hopes of obtaining credit before the news media.

-Divya V. Rao, a member of Disney's creative team, read a newspaper article in 2012 about [[Mahavir Singh Phogat]], who trained his daughters to become world champions. She thought this would make for a great film, and spoke about this to Kapur and other [[Disney]] personnel. Disney approached [[Nitesh Tiwari]] to write and direct the story. Tiwari met Phogat and his daughters, who instantly agreed to tell the story.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report-here-s-what-was-the-inspiration-behind-aamir-khan-s-dangal-2266818|title=Here's what was the inspiration behind Aamir Khan's 'Dangal'|date=23 October 2016|access-date=2 November 2016|newspaper=DNA India}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.com/articleshow/55013292.cms|title=Making of 'Dangal' inspired by a small newspaper article|date=23 October 2016|access-date=2 November 2016|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]}}{{dead link|date=July 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Tiwari worked on the script for close to a year with Gupta, Jain and Mehrotra before going to [[Ronnie Screwvala]], the CEO of [[UTV Motion Pictures]], and Kapur with the final script, while suggesting that [[Aamir Khan]] play Phogat.<ref name="tw1" />

He wanted to do the film after 5–10 years when he would turn 60 because the role demanded him to be 55 and he was still doing younger roles.

-The film had its share of detractors who, while praising the narrative and performances, felt that the concept of [[feminism]] portrayed in the film was flawed.

Reviewing for ''[[The Hindu]]'', [[Namrata Joshi]] wrote that the film despite aiming not to hide "chinks in the feminist armour", it does not explore its "dilemmas and complexities" and only "brush[es] things under the easy nationalistic carpet" by "justifying everything with "nation before the individual" logic."

-=== Commercial analysis ===
-==== India ====
-Despite the hype created by the film prior to its release, it was not expected to perform very well on two accounts. Khan's comment in November 2015 during the ongoing [[Religious intolerance|intolerance]] debate in India had sparked outrage and backlash from certain sections of right wing extremist groups. Despite his clarification that the statement made was taken out of context and publicised, the criticism, primarily on social media, continued to the extent that prior to the film's release, campaigns calling for boycotting the film began, on grounds that Khan was "anti-national".<ref>{{cite web|title=Being tolerant?

Following the exercise, it was reported that business fell by 60 per cent and that 700 theatres even shut,<ref>{{cite news|last1=Ramachandran|first1=Naman|title=Aamir Khan's 'Dangal' Beats India's Demonetization Blues|url=https://variety.com/2016/film/asia/aamir-khan-dangal-beats-indias-demonetization-blues-1201948401/|access-date=23 May 2017|work=Variety|date=26 December 2016}}</ref> including a few that deciding not to renew their licences, converted into [[Assembly hall|wedding halls]]. The earnings of films ''[[Dear Zindagi]]'', ''[[Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh]]'' and ''[[Befikre]]'' that were released around this time were significantly affected, and their corresponding producers had handed out limited [[Release print|prints]] to single-screen theatres, to keep losses at a minimum.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Jha|first1=Lata|title=Demonetisation last nail in coffin for single-screen theatres|url=http://www.livemint.com/Consumer/BIW2OaRfoj7wihhsoEjj5N/For-singlescreen-theatres-demonetisation-is-the-last-nail.html|access-date=23 May 2017|work=Livemint|date=21 December 2016}}</ref>
-However, that neither of the two affected the performance of ''Dangal'' was evident in how quickly the online ticketing platform ''BookMyShow'' hit its fastest one million tickets booked before the release.

-==== China ====
-''Dangal'' performed particularly well in China. This was attributed partly to Khan's popularity in China owing to the success of his previous films ''[[3 Idiots]]'' (2009) and ''[[PK (film)|PK]]'' (2014) there.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Dasgupta|first1=Saibal|title=Despite Testy Ties, Bollywood Movie is Thriving in China|url=https://www.voanews.com/a/despite-testy-ties-indian-movie-thrives-in-china-/3872497.html|publisher=[[Voice of America]]|access-date=28 May 2017|date=26 May 2017}}</ref> When ''3 Idiots'' released in China, the country was only the 15th largest film market, partly due to China's widespread pirate [[DVD]] distribution at the time. However, it was the pirate market that introduced ''3 Idiots'' to most Chinese audiences, becoming a [[cult film|cult]] [[cult following|hit]] in the country. It became China's 12th favourite film of all time, according to ratings on Chinese film review site [[Douban]], with only one domestic Chinese film (''[[Farewell My Concubine (film)|Farewell My Concubine]]'') ranked higher. Khan gained a large growing Chinese fanbase as a result. By 2013, China grew to become the world's second largest film market (after the United States), paving the way for Khan's Chinese box office success, with ''[[Dhoom 3]]'' (2013), ''PK'', and eventually ''Dangal''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2017/06/08/how-a-52-year-old-indian-actor-became-chinas-favorite-movie-star/|title=How A 52-Year-Old Indian Actor Became China's Favorite Movie Star|first=Rob|last=Cain|website=Forbes}}</ref> His TV show ''[[Satyamev Jayate (TV show)|Satyamev Jayate]]'' also had a cult following in China, establishing Khan as someone associated with quality films and committed to social causes.<ref name="screendaily">{{cite web|title=What the West can learn from the surprise success of 'Dangal' in China|url=https://www.screendaily.com/features/what-the-west-can-learn-from-the-surprise-success-of-dangal-in-china/5120116.article|website=[[Screen Daily]]|date=19 July 2017}}</ref>

-There was also controversy over its release in [[Pakistan]]. In response to the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) banning [[Pakistani film]] artists and technicians from working in [[Indian films]], Pakistani theatre owners and exhibitors responded by temporarily putting a stop to screening Indian films. Due to Khan's popularity, however, ''Dangal'' was set to release in Pakistan, but the [[Central Board of Film Censors]] demanded that scenes featuring the [[Indian flag]] and [[Indian national anthem]] be omitted. Khan refused, and thus the film was not released in Pakistan, where it was predicted to gross up to {{INRConvert|12|c|year=2016|mode=historical}}.<ref>{{cite news|title=Aamir Khan refuses to release Dangal in Pakistan without national anthem|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/aamir-khan-refuses-to-release-dangal-in-pakistan-without-national-anthem/story-KtqPyvubgNfeyJSnqSoJwO.html|work=[[Hindustan Times]]|date=6 April 2017}}</ref>

-{{Blockquote|Why should we have given the Best Actor award to Aamir Khan when he has made it very clear that he doesn't attend awards functions? If he doesn't want to accept the honour, what is the point in honouring him? Nowadays, we have seen people returning their awards. We didn't want to take that risk.}}
-Similarly, ''Dangal'' was not awarded at the [[18th IIFA Awards]], where Kumar was also not awarded. According to the [[IIFA Awards]] organisers:<ref>{{cite news|title=18th IIFA Awards 2017: Why Dangal Was Ignored in the Nominations|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/18th-iifa-awards-2017-why-dangal-was-ignored-in-the-nominations-1726635|publisher=[[NDTV]]|date=19 July 2017}}</ref>
-{{Blockquote|So basically, in IIFA, forms are sent to various production houses. They fill those forms up and send it back to us. Those forms are then put out to the industry for voting and from there it becomes a nomination. So, ''Dangal'' has not sent their entry in. We would love ''Dangal'' to be a part of it. I think it's a movie that's broken all records. We love Aamir Khan and the two little girls. They did a great job. But unfortunately, they didn't send their entry in.}}
