A Great Effort!
5 May 2012
A biopic of Paan Singh Tomar, an Indian Athlete who turned Dacoit, 'Paan Singh Tomar' is A Great Effort! Talented Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia makes a biopic, that turns out to be a dazzling experience! Its a Well-Made Film in all respects.

'Paan Singh Tomar' works because the journey of the late Athlete/Dacoit keeps you engrossed & captivated. Here's a biopic, that mixes reality with entertainment. Though a heavy subject, 'Paan Singh Tomar' offers humor, action & most of all, a strong moral! Tigmanshu Dhulia & Sanjay Chauhan's Screenplay mixes reality & entertainment, most efficiently. Tigmanshu Dhulia's Direction is flawless. Cinematography & Editing, are excellent.

Performance-Wise: Irrfan shines as 'Paan Singh Tomar'. The versatile actor proves his mettle once again by delivering a performance, that deserves a National-Award. Without a doubt, this is his finest performance to date. Mahi Gill plays her part well. Vipin Sharma, Rajendra Gupta, Imran Hasnee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui & Zakir Hussain are decent. Brijendra Kala is astonishing in a brief, yet important role.

On the whole, 'Paan Singh Tomar' is A Big Winner! Strongly Recommended!
