It seems there might be a small confusion: is not a Tamil movie. It is a Hindi film (Bollywood) starring Aamir Khan, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, and released in 2016.

Hindi (dubbed into Tamil and other languages)

Based on the true story of Mahavir Singh Phogat, Dangal follows a former national-level wrestler who is forced to give up his dream of winning a gold medal for India. Hoping for a son to fulfill his legacy, he instead fathers four daughters. Disheartened at first, he soon discovers that his daughters – Geeta and Babita – have the raw talent to beat up local boys. Defying societal norms, extreme ridicule, and lack of facilities, Mahavir trains them to become world-class wrestlers. The film chronicles their journey from a dusty village in Haryana to the international wrestling arena, ending with Geeta Phogat becoming India’s first female wrestler to win a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.

Though originally in Hindi, Dangal was widely appreciated in Tamil Nadu due to its universal themes of family, struggle against society, and sportsmanship. Its emotional core – a father believing in his daughters’ strength – transcends language barriers. If you meant a Tamil dubbed version or are looking for a similar Tamil movie (like Sarpatta Parambarai or Irudhi Suttru ), let me know and I can provide that instead!
