jnagar-iitk 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.

bharat_bhushan02 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'.

dhul sark The simplicity shown by director in this movie is worth to be watched, Who says that the big budgeted with so called super stars movies can be hit, but I think Irfan is a real super star.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.Overall the movie is a treat to eyes and ears. Dhulia leaves you with credits to forgotten heroes of sports who died penniless and without any recognition.

sush_re reddy Boosted By An Excellent Performance by Irfan Khan and the rest of the cast, and a meaningful and good story, Pan Singh Tomar is one of the better bollywood movies which has great performances from the cast, a great story which is worth telling, and Irfan Khan just makes it better with his excellent portrayel of his character.Irfan Khan is one of the few Hollywood worthy actors in bollywood, and probably the best at what he does, he yet again shows his excellent acting qualities in this movie by giving an excellent performance as Paan Singh Tomar, and he has shown the change of his character from a strict soldier to a notorious dacoit with utmost skill.Paan Singh Tomar may not celebrate the spirit of win like 'Chak de India' or "Jo jeeta wohi sikandar" But it does celebrates the spirit the True Sportsmanship and it does it perfectly & flawlessly-Kudos !
