Dangal review: Here's what Bollywood's celebrities tweeted about Aamir Khan's film

Dangal, Aamir Khan's ambitious wrestling biopic on Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters Geeta and Babita Phogat released in theatres today and if reviews are anything to go by, we may just have the film of the year. The movie chronicles the journey of the trio through the world of wrestling and how they overcome prejudice and conventional societal beliefs about traditional notions of gender.

Apart from Aamir Khan in the pivotal role, the film also stars Sakshi Tanwar and newcomers Fatima Sana Sheikh and Sanya Malhotra.

Here's what Bollywood celebrities tweeted about Aamir Khan and his performance in the film:

#Dangal is the best film I've watched in a long time. And in all probability, will remain so for a very long time. Salute, @aamir_khan Sir!
