2. MS Dhoni- The Untold Story (2016)

MS Dhoni, The Untold Story is an all-time blockbuster movie that received lots of applause from the fans and cricketing fraternity. It was directed by the famous Bollywood director Neeraj Pandey. It was a commercialised biopic on the journey of India’s World Cup-winning skipper.

This movie showed the life cycle of Dhoni from being a football goalkeeper to a school wicketkeeper by coincidence. Later on, he became a ticket collector before getting selected for Team India. He had earned a reputation as one of the most talented players in the domestic circuit.

Everyone was a fan of his sublime hitting. In school time he used to bat in the lower order as his coach used to focus on his keeping skills. But in less number of chances also Dhoni proved his worth with the bat. There were many things that hogged the spotlight in that movie but the dialogue ‘Mahi Maar Raha Hain’ became quite popular.

Despite all the obstacles that MS Dhoni faced throughout his life from his personal to cricket life, everything was well directed by the Neeraj Pandey. And, all the credit goes to reel life Dhoni i.e- Sushant Singh Rajput, who acted in that role with precision. In the movie, Kiara Advani played the role of the Indian cricketer’s real lifeline, Sakshi. Also, there was a small part of Dhoni’s ex-girlfriend who died in an accident and Disha Patani played that role.
