Dangal

Finished Watching: 4/1/2024

Genre: Action, Biography, Drama, Sports

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 (4/5, a little biased tbf)

Expectations: I didn't have any expectations going in. Why? Because I've already watched the film before. It's been a while, but I watched it back when it came out in theaters in 2016. However, it's been a while since I watched it, so my memory of the movie was a bit fuzzy, and this rewatch fixed that. I noticed many more details that I previously didn't and I think I got out of my watching slump, which is always a plus.

Not a Favorite

Summary: Mavir Singh Phogat is an ex-national wrestling champion who had to long give up on his dream of winning a gold medal for his country as his family could not afford it. He dreams that his son will win one instead, but he has four daughters back to back. As they grow up, he slowly distances himself from wrestling, but when his two oldest daughters, Geeta & Babita, start showing promise, he trains them, much to their dismay.

Thoughts (*SPOILERS*):

Like I said, I've watched this film before, but OH MY GOD!!! I love Bollywood so much and this film reminds me why. Obviously, this isn't stereotypical Bollywood with lots of romance and drama. However, the tension in many of the scenes had me sitting on the edge of my seat. And of course, I was vibing to the music. Did I think it was too often? Probably for somebody who is not used to films with music. But these are the types of movies I grew up with so I was enjoying it to the max.

Did I love the characters? (Should I even call them characters?) Yes! Were they also a tad bit dramatic? Even more so. The villain in the second half of the film, the training coach, was almost comically villainous. I actually almost laughed when he locked the father in the closet because Geeta was listening to him. Like??? He still sucked at coaching, the fact he still has a job is crazyyy even in the film's world.

Now I am not a huge wrestling fan. The closest you will see me watch wrestling is from all the fighting webcomics I read. So I can't really confirm how accurately the movie portrays wrestling. However, I can attest to how it stays exciting. It makes me want to watch more wrestling matches (I won't, but it made me want to!).

Would I recommend this to anybody? Abso-fucking-lutely. Anybody who wants to try a Bollywood film out, but doesn't really get excited by the idea of a classic rom-com and wants something a little more wholesome? Try this one, I beg. Aamir Khan really did eat this film up, and I actually don't expect anything less from the man. In fact, try more Aamir Khan films if you want to watch Bollywood. They always get me.

‘Gatta Kusthi’ movie review: Vishnu Vishal-Aishwarya Lekshmi’s film is mad fun, when it doesn’t ramble on gender politics

‘Gatta Kusthi’ movie review: Vishnu Vishal-Aishwarya Lekshmi’s film is mad fun, when it doesn’t ramble on gender politics

Before we get to the actual review, let us give a shout out to director Chella Ayyavu and producer-actor Vishnu Vishal, not necessarily for making Gatta Kusthi but for giving Aishwarya Lekshmi her own She Baashha (like She Hulk).  Aishwarya Lekshmi’s Keerthi is a State-level wrestler. Let’s say she is quite “unconventional” as a woman: she is outspoken, has short hair, is always dressed in modern…

Translated Keroro Files No.001 - No.022

these are the "files" for the characters written from keroro's perspective in the game "Keroro Gunso the Super Movie: Gekishin Dragon Warriors de arimasu!" that's on the DS and released in 2009 a little before the fourth movie came out

i've seen segments of these translated but never all of them or in order, so hopefully if i finish these they’ll be semi-organized. or maybe they’re all translated sitting somewhere and i just don’t know about it yet

i would like to say these are all of the main 5's files but it's not 😭 there's a few more way later down the line. after this is garuru's platoon and stuff which i'll get started on......eventually......

Some Additional Notes:

File No. 1: Look up “Zaku Gundam” you will not be disappointed

File No. 9 & No. 12: Remember when Kogoro got to be an actor with Lavie? That’s this; “tokusatsu” is just a Japanese genre that’s based around superhero’s and special effects. Also I’m 99% sure Keroro’s name is parodying Mazinkaiser

File No. 10: Dangale is the fictional knockoff version of Gundam in this franchise; supposedly the lore goes that it sucks so bad that it auctions for a ton of money since they didn’t make many

File No. 13: I grew up with this Tamama being “Comrade Führer” but I suppose this is a substantially less offensive title

File No. 16: I don’t have anything important to say; I just want to make it known that I’m very uncomfortable with the fact he doesn’t look like a tadpole in this

File No. 19: Keroro is a fucking liar Giroro did NOT enjoy being sash pulled in the 2nd movie. For context an “obi” is the traditional sash worn with a kimono, and it’s a trope to yank it hard enough to make the (typically) girl spin around

— I got the screenshots for this from the youtuber Soroaxas, who did a full playthrough on the game. I’d totally recommend checking out their completed run through if interested they seem pretty cool

max and jos

Idk much about anyone. And Jos maybe an awful person. However, I don’t think he is necessarily a bad father. I see on Instagram people villainising him that he left max at the gas station, or never told him he was going to make it into F1.

I get how bad it sounds to a child. But as an Indian, this feels so normal to us. I think if anything Jos really made him respect the sport and earn his place into it. Again I am not talking about Jos as a person, just nitpicking the few pointers through which people make him a bad father. No southeast Asian parent coddles their child, honestly our biggest trollers and supporters are our parents. So, this doesn’t sound unnatural to me at all. Jos never pushed his dreams on max, cause if you see max genuinely loved the sport.

maybe he is awful as a person, but it’s just extreme to make him into a villain who ruined max. like if you’ve watched the movie Dangal, you really see how harsh he was with his daughters. Cause you really need a lot of grit in sports.

Just my two cents of wisdom.

Two weeks ago, female wrestler Vinesh Phogat became the first woman from India to make the Olympic finals—and was promptly disqualified for being 100 grams overweight.

On August 9, Vinesh Phogat announced her retirement from the sport of wrestling in a post on X. After the previous day’s incidents, it was a message that many had been expecting.

Vinesh experienced the highest of highs at the Paris Olympics. She defeated an unbeaten Olympic champion wrestler who was considered not just the favourite in her weight division but across every weight division at the quadrennial event. She became the first Indian woman wrestler to reach an Olympic final. However, Vinesh also faced the lowest of lows at the Olympics. No one had ever reached an Olympic final only to be denied the chance to compete because they had failed to make weight on the day of the competition.

Vinesh had taken her case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, seeking at least to be awarded a silver medal by virtue of reaching the final. If she had succeeded, she would have set a precedent, but, much to the disappointment of the nation, her appeal was turned down by the sole arbitrator, Annabelle Bennett.

...

Vinesh has always been a fighter. Tragedy has followed her, yet somehow, against the odds, she has emerged victorious.

When she was nine, her father was shot dead by someone in her village, believed to be a mentally disturbed relative, just outside their front door. Her mother, a young widow, refused the custom of marrying her husband’s brother. She battled cancer single-handedly. Through it all, she raised a firebrand daughter, who refused to back down.

Her cousins, who grew up near her home, were the more famous girls of the family. Geeta and Babita were among the first to win gold at the Commonwealth Games. They had a movie made about them — Dangal — which made the ‘Phogat sisters’ iconic in Indian sports.

Vinesh didn’t feature in that movie. The events described in it took place too early in her career. But she wouldn’t be satisfied with being one of the Phogat sisters — she would become ‘The Phogat’ sister.

Talk to any of her peers .— and even some of her rivals in Indian wrestling – and there is, in some cases, grudging, genuine respect. She is considered the most instinctive and natural wrestler India has ever produced in women’s freestyle wrestling.

Her career is as much a highlight reel as anything out of a movie. No one in women’s wrestling compares. No Indian woman wrestler has won three Commonwealth gold medals as she did in 2014, 2018, and 2022. No one has won an Asian Games gold medal as she did in 2018. No one has won two World Championships medals as she did in 2019 and 2022.

The one medal missing from her collection is the Olympic medal — which she fought bitterly for.

...

Vinesh has had terrible luck at the Olympics — the only competition that seems to matter to Indians. In 2016, she was one of the favourites in the Indian team before her knee was bent out of shape in the quarterfinals. In 2020, she was one of the world’s favourites to medal in the women’s 53kg weight class. Then, suddenly, a freak weight cut left her physically and psychologically broken, unable to coordinate her movements on the mat. She lost to a wrestler she had beaten comfortably just a month before. Now, in Paris, another poor weight cut left her at the lowest point of her wrestling career.

Her battles, though, haven’t been restricted to the mat. Perhaps the most significant one Vinesh has fought has been for the safety of young girls in the sport. In pursuing this fight, she took on one of the most powerful men in Indian sports — Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

When her rivals were preparing for the Olympics, Vinesh was fighting on the streets of New Delhi, where she, and few other fellow wrestlers, accused Brij Bhushan, a five-time member of parliament and the long-time president of the Wrestling Federation, of sexual harassment.

The longer she stayed on the streets, the slimmer her chances on the mat became. Yet, she continued to prioritise what she felt was right. In doing so, Vinesh showed the kind of courage almost uniformly lacking in most sportspersons in India. Most of them, as the saying goes, “crawl when asked to bend.” Vinesh’s spine has been ramrod straight. She had the courage to take on the system without caring about the consequences. She displayed it even though it cost her what she loved the most — the chance to wrestle.

Only when her protest was forced off the streets and entered the court did Vinesh finally get a chance to compete.

This article delves into her struggle to rein in her weight as the Olympic timeline unfolded. It's horrifying to read.

TW for fatphobia and people with eating disorders and body dysmorphia: fatphobia:

Even as she had been winning, Vinesh’s nutritionist had been nervously monitoring her food and fluid intake.

She had a celebratory glass of juice in the morning right after she had first made weight – 300 grams. She had another couple of litres of fluid to rehydrate herself before her bout - another 2000 grams of body weight gained. A couple of light snacks throughout the day to keep her energy up meant 700 grams more.

By the time Vinesh was done with her day’s competition, she weighed 52.7 kg.

August 7:

As the hours rolled into the night, it was clear that something had gone very wrong. After weeks of dehydration, the human body, once it gets rehydrated, simply refuses to give up water. Even urination becomes impossible.

Vinesh didn’t sleep all through the night of August 6. She was on the treadmill for six hours and in the sauna for another three. She didn’t consume a bite of food or drink a drop of water. Every few hours, she stood on a weighing scale. The numbers were getting smaller but not fast enough. In desperation, her coaches trimmed the elastic in the bottom of her costume. They thought of chopping her hair and then did it.

But the scale didn’t budge.

The function of weight classes is to prevent outsized mismatches in strength due to body mass and minimize injury. Pathologizing what is clearly water weight to this extent and subjecting athletes to this kind of psychological torture due to minute variables is simply making what is essentially a safety measure into a punitive arbitrary criteria that has huge implications for racialized fatphobia for female athletes and the reinforcement of toxic diet culture across the board. It's misogynistic, unscientific and fucked. This article goes into more detail about Phogat's career-long battle with her weight— a yo-yo of losing too much, and then too little. Indistinguishable from an eating disorder, only one imposed by the standards of international sports.

You will never convince me that a white athlete would have been disqualified in the lightest weight category for a weight less than a bar of soap. The disqualification retroactively places her dead last, which is added cruelty. The refusal to revise this and even award her a joint silver is just adding racist insult to racist injury.

Phogat spoke two days ago about her devastation at being disqualified by racism and fatphobia with a three page post on twitter.

And on top of all of this, because the Indian National Congress political party welcomed her with a road show that outshone the alt-right BJP's own planned welcome, the Hindutvas in her own country have launched a hate campaign against her.

This copy-paste has "disqualified in Rio 2016" trending on twitter. It's doubly cruel and fatphobic because she wasn't disqualified for being overweight, she sustained a knee injury.

After the witch hunt against Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting, I'm just so fucking done with the Olympics. The outsize importance of this competition is nothing but an anvil to break entire careers on and offers female athletes of colour on a platter for all the world's vultures.

I stopped watching Hindi movies years ago after I kept coming across sexist tropes

But I just watched 12th Fail and it's awesome

In the last year or so, I've watched

An Action Hero

Nazar Andaaz

Dangal (but it was someone else watching it was a watch through review on YouTube, I forgot what those are called)

Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food, Hindi dub (not critically very good but good enough light family flick)

and now 12th Fail

And gosh these are movies. Non sexist, non-romance focused good films exist!

And non Hollywood so that's a plus because I absolutely adore the ambience and detail in films like 12th Fail, Dangal, and Hera Pheri,

Like you're there, in the village, part of the village, with minimal Western influence more or less.

Those old traditional everyday items, skills, and jobs my parents talk about that have never been a part of my life but my parents and grandparents did experience them a little bit at least

I definitely don't want to live in a village, but watching these characters and their families have deep roots in their community or village just feels nice :)

gender oppression is the result of language.

post modern feminists

the crux that the above statement holds is how the society & their derogatory remarks has been gender based. the common connotations that we use in daily life more often shows the patriarchal approach since the ages.

for ex : in the modern times, the women reproductive part is used as a term to symbolise a person who's weaker in any manner, who's lacking gut approach a task. while on the other hand men's weakest point - 'the testes' is again used to define the same feeble will of a person as in "you don't have balls man".

the society/the family/the group has always used language mechanisms to lower the standard of a woman. one might hear it on a daily basis. for ex : in Dangal Movie Amir Khan quoted " मारी छोरियां, छोरो से कम हैं के" at a moment it feels like wow but then you realise that even to lift up the girls spirit he's actually accepting that the bar set up by the boys is actually higher than the girls. he's actually establishing a mere fact that girls are not equal.

let me give you another example: tiger shroff's famous meme "छोटी बच्ची हो क्या" nobody questioned why not ’ बच्चा ’ which symbolises that yes the society accepts that the women are the trademark of 'crying'.

every slang which modern society uses to show the anger is based on demeaning a woman or her body parts & even the woman enjoys using such slang which shows how effortlessly the language has penetrated our mind.

once we start making ourselves of the fact that the major part of our life is governed by the kind of language or dialects we use. we can change the discrimination in any major grounds.

hello! yesterday you mentioned growing up with Bollywood films, and I wondered is there one you'd recommend for someone new to them? I'm very curious, but I don't really know where to begin, and I'd appreciate a reccomendation from someone familiar with them :3

oh god idek where to start cuz they’ve always been a part of my life. i guess a good beginner movie is Lagaan? It’s basically an underdog sports movie with great music. Maybe Devdas? Jab We Met? I’m so bad at this cuz bollywood films have certain cultural sensibilities that can be hard for a non-desi viewer to get. So i’ll just list off some of my fave bollywood films:

Awaara, Mughal-e-Azam, Sholay, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kal ho na ho, Dil Se, Dil Chahta Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S, Devdas, Om Shaanti Om, Chakde India, Taare Zameen Par, Koi Mil Gaya, Dhamal, Welcome, Jab We Met, Swades, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Rab Ne Banadi Jodi, Band Baaja Baaraat, 3 Idiots, Wake Up Sid, Highway, RamLeela, Piku, Gangs of Wasseypur, Zindagi Na Millegi Dobara, Lunchbox, Dangal… and ofc Lagaan and Devdas too.

I’m missing a lot probably and this is very 2000s centric lol. Remember Bollywood just refers to Hindi Cinema based in Mumbai and it barely scratches the surface of Indian Cinema.

Zaira Wasim, whose debut in Bollywood was with the all-time blockbuster movie Dangal and the next film was Secret Super Star Super Blockbuster, but she left all this worldly success only for the sake of her beloved religion Islam and ended all relations with Bollywood. On June 30, 2019, Zaira Wasim announced that she is going to end her film industry career forever because all this shameless promiscuity, dancing, singing and wearing small clothes in a dirty manner and romancing with other men is her religion. Islam does not teach this because they have now fallen in love with Hijab and Burkha and have understood why Islam always forbids the dirty things from which it is prohibited and success lies only in living the way of Islam. Not by earning money by wearing short clothes shamelessly.

my fcuking GODDD, i though he was going off to the mountains and never to be seen again for real. now that he came back from the 1 year long health hiatus, it seems ridiculous. one year is not even that long, dear god. i think half of it is the fanbase's (me included) fault for assuming the Absolute Worst everytime something goes against expectation but the thing is the last time we saw him, he really looked sick. he has never been that skinny the entire 15 years i've seen him, you know? i was working in the cancer wards at the time of the hiatus announcement and i admit i DID cry my eyes out thinking he has Every cancer.

ANYWAY. he's back now, he's under his own company he founded with his tesla stock money, he has an asia tour next month, hes cooking his next album (he said he is listening to by candy drip by lucky daye lately, and damn the next album is gonna be crazy), he has three (3) waterbombs incoming (does he even know how waterbombs stages usually is like?? i dont even know whats he gonna do there. he gonna spray holy water and show ankle, i think).

anyway (2) i think the state of shinee's fanbase nowadays is like that post about cheetahs. yk how cheetah are anxious creatures that took social cues from another cheetah, who are also anxious and they made a devil's circle of escalating anxiety? that's how the fanbase is like. lol. the zoo gives the cheetah puppy friends to get them to calm down. AND now im here following 0 shawol blogs. i gotta get myself less of these cheetahs and more puppies, yk. im following carat blogs now. and aespa.
