Dhoni’s Journey: A Cinematic Tale of Triumph and Challenges ( धोनी की यात्रा: जीत और चुनौतियों की एक सिनेमाई कहानी )
Introduction:
In September 2016, Disha Patani enthusiastically promoted the film “MS Dhoni: The Untold Story” at a captivating event, setting the stage for a remarkable cinematic journey.
Widest Global Release:
The week ending 2 October 2016 witnessed a cinematic spectacle as the film achieved a milestone, securing the widest release for a Bollywood production. Across nearly 4,500 screens worldwide, the narrative unfolded simultaneously in 61 countries, marking a historic moment for Indian cinema.
International Omission and Sensitivity:
Regrettably, the film faced a setback in its release journey. Following the 2016 Uri attack, it was decided not to release the film in Pakistan. Sabina Islam, media and marketing manager of distributor IMGC Global Entertainment in Pakistan expressed concern, stating, “Dhoni is the hero of India, so it is risky.” The decision resonated with the delicate geopolitical situation.
Language Barrier and Dubbing Dilemma: Further complexities arose as the film remained unreleased in Punjabi and Marathi languages. The unavailability of dubbed versions in these languages hindered the simultaneous release plan proposed by Fox. Attempts to dub the film in Marathi faced opposition from Amey Khopkar, chief of Tapat Karamak Sena, leading to the abandonment of the plan.
Tax-Free Honors:
Despite the challenges, the film garnered accolades, being declared tax-free in several states. Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav in Uttar Pradesh and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in Maharashtra acknowledged the cinematic masterpiece, ensuring its tax-free status.
Conclusion:
“MS Dhoni: The Untold Story” stands as a testament to the triumphs and tribulations of a cricketing legend. Its global journey, though not without hurdles, has etched a memorable chapter in Indian cinema.
