However, upon its release, the film soared to critical and commercial success, becoming the fifth highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2016, amassing a global box office collection of ₹215.48 crore (US$27 million)."

"The film unfolds with a pre-credits scene showcasing the 2011 Cricket World Cup Final, setting the stage for Dhoni's illustrious journey. Beginning in Ranchi in 1981, the audience witnesses the birth of Mahendra 'Mahi' Singh Dhoni to Paan Singh Dhoni, a pump operator. Mahi's story unfolds as he is discovered by a cricket coach while goalkeeping in a football game, ultimately leading to his selection for the school cricket team.

As the narrative progresses, Mahi evolves into a talented cricketer, facing challenges and setbacks along the way. The film encapsulates his struggle as he balances his aspiration to play cricket with his responsibilities, eventually leaving his job as a ticket collector to pursue his cricketing dreams. The emotional rollercoaster includes his relationships, particularly the tragic demise of Priyanka Jha, which deeply impacts Dhoni, affecting his cricketing form."

"The portrayal of Mahendra Singh Dhoni by Sushant Singh Rajput garnered immense acclaim, capturing the essence of Dhoni's persona with authenticity and depth. Disha Patani, Kiara Advani, and Anupam Kher also deliver impactful performances, contributing significantly to the narrative."
