You won't be disappointed!

Don't listen to the negative reviews

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

One of the best sports biopic ever made in Bollywood and what a stellar performance by Irrfan ( Award Winning Performance)...For me everything worked in this one and the proper research was done about the athlete making it descriptive as well as entertaining alongside...A year after Bhaag Milkha Bhaag released and must say enjoyed that as well though I cried a lot in the latter but what matters to me is an urge to watch again when on TV which is the case with former, ie, Paan Singh Tomar is a much better movie...Farhan Akhtar was no where an inch closer to what Irrfan was...Now let's talk about the main aspects in the movie, ie, dialogues, direction and screenplay...All these things are incredible but the screenplay falls a bit in the second half but it picks up afterwards of Paan Singh Tomar whereas Bhaag Milkha Bhaag was a bit overdramatised which was a plus point for the foremost...Lastly, would say that after watching Paan Singh, everybody will come to know what they were about to miss, if not seen they would regret and Bhaag Milkhas cons...A must visit!!

Movie: Paan Singh Tomar Directed by: Tigmanshu Dhulia Writing Credits: Sanjay "chauhan" & Tigmanshu Dhulia Star Casting: Irrfan Khan(as Paan Singh Tomar),Mahi Gill(as Indra),Vipin Sharma(as Major Masand) & Nawazuddin Siddiqui(as Gopi Jadav)The story of Paan Singh Tomar, based on a true story of an athlete and seven-time national steeplechase champion becomes one of the most feared "dacoit"("Baaghi" as Paan prefers to call it) in Chambal Valley after his army retirement.Paan joins the army to serve his country but he is encouraged to participate in distance in international competition because of his good stamina, high energy and good running speed. Soon he brings laurels to his country after winning several gold medals. But his success is short lived when he enters into a fight with his relatives in his village over a land feud. Though he wins the fight in village "panchayat", he and his family are threatened for life. He goes back to the army and even approaches the police for help but his efforts goes in vain. Unfortunately, he has no options but to pick up guns to protect his family which turns him into a dreaded "dacoit".The director has done a great job. He has not only handled the hard- hitting true story of a rebel but also portrayed the forgotten sportsman in an outstanding way.The movie is not well promoted and received in the box office whereas it became a hit later.

A die-hard patriot and an international level athlete who is forced to become a dacoit or should I say 'Baaghi'. Commendable performances by almost the entire cast right from Irrfan Khan to the nervous journalist (Bijendra Kala). Mahie Gill matches steps with Irrfan in a fiery and yet restrained performance. I hand my hat to Tigmanshu Dhulia for crisp dialogues, subtle humor and bringing out the Chambal live to you. You can actually feel the grime and dust of the infamous land. Needless to say Irrfan Khan has delivered superlative performance. He has defined what is called as an 'Effortless Performance'. I hope that this movie brings him the most deserved laurels as he brought the same to the movie. 'Irrfan Khan is Pan Singh Tomar'.

Paan Singh Tomar is a fantastic biopic of an Armyman turned Athlete turned dacoit. Apart from great cinematography, which really brought the Bhihad of MP alive, its the dialogues and the ease with which Irrfan Khan carries off the character which really makes the film work.It's only rare that a film so honest and gritty comes out of Bollywood. For the amount of senseless cinema we produce, Paan Singn Tomar redeems Bollywood.Paan Singh's achievements as an athlete is shown in good detail and so is his transformation into a person who had to take the law in his hands. The part where he becomes feared and successful as a dacoit is sorely missing. And that according to me is the film's biggest letdown. The meek and largely submissive Paan Singh suddenly becomes a dreaded outlaw and we are asked to take that as a given.
