Dangal

[Drunk Monk]

This is Bollywood that blew up in PRC. It's about India's first female world gold medal wrestlers, sisters driven from childhood by their psycho stage dad coach. The dad is Aamir Khan, one of my fav actors, short with weird ears, intense eyebrows and buff as fuk. But he plays an older man in most of this and wears a fat suit to give him a belly. No dance numbers but many musical interludes. I was surprisingly captivated by this, especially the wrestling matches even though they were totally predictable from a sports movie perspective.  It's based on real champions so it's obvious they win in the end. But I get why china luvs it - it's about family sacrifice, coming from nothingness and making it through intense discipline.

I might only recommend this to cf as he's into bollywood and PRC film. It'll be too long winded for the rest of doom.
