M.S. Dhoni The Untold Story is nowhere close to what I was expecting out of this film. I usually admire biopics no matter how they are written or directed. But it’s not the case with this film since I already knew who Mahendra Singh Dhoni is. Most of the times we like what we don’t know. And what we know is never enough. This is what happened with this film Directed by Neeraj Pandey. the film is all about M.S. Dhoni(Sushant Singh Rajput) whose early phase as a Cricketer is full of struggle and hard work. This is perhaps the case with all the cricketers out there. But Dhoni does everything on his own and ends up captaining the Indian cricket team, which is inspirational. In spite of that Neeraj played his emotional card and gave the film a typical Bollywood flavour, which was not necessary since we love Dhoni for what he is and his emotionally shattered love life hardly makes any difference. Fantastic acting by Sushant which clearly shows the amount of efforts he had to put in. M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story surprisingly turned out to be a huge disappoint. If you are a fan of Dhoni, you will definitely admire this film. But if you are a fan of Cricket, this is not for you. The reason being, the film is so Dhoni-centric that there’s nothing else. Not even Cricket, except Dhoni’s legendary World Cup-winning shot. This film could have been much better if there wouldn’t have been an overdose of Dhoni’s love life for nearly a quarter of the film
