Dangal is a biographical sports drama film based on wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat. ‘Dangal’ is a Hindi term used for wrestling competition. Aamir plays the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat who taught his wrestling skills to his daughters Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari.

It was Geeta Phogat who made the nation proud by being the first Indian female wrestler to make a place in the winners list of 2010 Commonwealth Games by grabbing a gold medal (55 kg) while the silver medal was entitled in the name of her sister Babita Kumari (51 kg).
