Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV
“Aamir Khan is the indisputable hero of the middle class, and sports and nationalism are locked in a deadly embrace.”
Nandini Ramnath, Scroll.in
“A thrilling Biopic!… Aamir Khan hogs the show entirely here. He ages right in front of our eyes – going from late teen to sixty.”
Johnson Thomas, The Free Press Journal
“What evokes sheer awe though is the raw, rough, visceral choreography of the fights, quite a few memorable ones in this 161-minutes long film.”
