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!!

This is one the rare films in Bollywood today that dare to show the real picture of corrupt political and judicial system in India. The common man has no choice but to take arms just to save his dignity. Period. The director has done full justice to this biopic which brings us to an important question that Are we really safe? The corrupt officials in police and judicial system always abuse the system and the innocent have to pay the price and eventually justice is denied to the victims and they are the one who are made to appear guilty. Must watch for every Indian. One of the rare cinematic gems to come out in past few year. Irrfan as usual steals the show with his stellar and effortless performance and pleasure to watch on screen. The ease with which he performs his role is what makes it hard to take our eyes away from him. Everyone has done great acting and audience is emotionally attached to the protagonist and other characters as all of them are depicted with epic reality.This is my first review. So, i am sorry if there are any mistakes. Must watch for everyone. Dreadful plight of country with such potential. This movie makes us question are thoughts and for just that you should watch it and it won't disappoint you.

Paan Singh Tomar is a movie about poor man from a remote village of India. He achieves the honor of breaking various records in racing. After getting retired, there is a dispute that sets against his family. Even a national asset is not supported by officials, this in turn makes him a dacoit. The story goes further, he and his associates kill several people for wealth, helping poor. Gradually he dies at the hands of police and story ends.A movie is now made for suffering national assets, an extra mark for that. Even the Olympic champions sometimes do not gain the deserving respect from officials (in the form of making a living at ease). Government must arrange for certain ways that this doesn't happen at least to people who are nation's pride. I personally did not like Irrfan's acting, a negative mark for that. Somebody who's more flexible physically, would have been well suited for the role. A movie worth a watch, because of the message it sends.Rating: 8.0/10

First of all, no beating about the bush, Irrfan Khan is the best actor in the country. Aye, I mean better than great talents like Nawazuddin, Aamir and Ajay Devgan. This man seems to hit it out of the park again and again, consistently blowing the expectations of Indian Audiences to smithereens. This movie is carried on the broad shoulders of Irrfan, who like Ken Watanabe has become face of his country in Hollywood -- and very deserving. This movie is made as well as it could have been made. It deserved to go to the Oscars, but the naive Indian Film authority has chosen a far inferior film called Barfi to represent India at Oscars. It is my Opinion that Indian films can never grow if every year only a big star is given Best Actor Award. If you are a big star, and you had a moderately good performance, then boom, you win the best actor for the year. I hated how Ranbir Kapoor chosen as best actor over Irrfan Khan....In Bollywood,stardom and parental influence reigns.The movie is about an athlete, who represents India at National and International levels and win many medals and honors for the country. This disinterested sportsman slowly unravels in him a streak of immeasurable success consistently over the period of 15 years. When he retires, he falls into the dark world of Indian corruption and police, when his relative grabs his piece of land and police just wouldn't help him. In times of desperateness, Paan Singh Tomar takes up a gun to fight for his own. And the rest of the story is about what steps he takes to win over his land and take over those who oppose him. It might seem like Art Film, but believe me, this Film is TOTAL FUN. Never a dull moment, never a clichéd scene, and not one useless dialogue. This film is a triumph.
