The audience say MS Dhoni: The Untold Story introduces MS Dhoni as a goal keeper in his school days. He is then seen taking up cricket and turning a district level player in the first half of the movie. The second half deals with his career as a full time cricketer, the ups and downs he sees with his team and his love life. The film is lengthy and drags in parts. Though the narration is slow, the movie is entertaining, say the audience.

The viewers say MS Dhoni: The Untold Story has an interesting and inspiring screenplay that keeps the viewers engaged right from the begin till the end. As Dhoni, Sushant Singh Rajput has delivered brilliant performance, which is the main highlight of the movie. Disha Patani, Kiara Advani, Herry Tangri, Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Bhumika Chawla and Rajesh Sharma have done justice to their roles.

The viewers add that MS Dhoni: The Untold Story has superb production values. Amaal Mallik and Rochak Kohli's songs, Sanjoy Chowdhury's background score and santosh Thundiyil's cinematography are the attractions on the technical front. We bring you some film-goers' verdict shared on Twitter. Here is the live update of MS Dhoni: The Untold Story movie review by audience:

#MSDhoniTheUntoldStory Interval: Progressing well. Detailed but relatable biopic, with Sushant in the role of his life. He's so good! #MSDhoniTheUntoldStory: Indulgent, yet interesting. Neeraj Pandey delivers another engaging film with a terrific Sushant at the forefront. #MSDhoniTheUntoldStory: Lots of little secrets about MSD's life have been brought forward, and that is your reason to catch the film. #MSDhoniTheUntoldStory: It is lengthy, has tepid love tracks and not-so-cool VFX. Still, it comes together quite nicely at the end.

#MSDhoniTheUntoldStory [★★★★☆] is very INSPIRING, EMOTIONAL & BEAUTIFUL ofcourse. Completely justifies the pre-release hype & expectations. Dhoni's struggle is very inspiring & Bollywood touch given to his chemistry with wife & ex-gf is truly b'ful. In a title role, @itsSSR has nailed it. You cannot imagine anyone else so perfect in this role. Kudos to him! The debut film for @DishPatani and must say nothing could be better than this, what she has done, Impressive. @Advani_Kiara has left a strong impact over audience with her beautiful & confident performance.

#MSDhoniTheUntoldStory 1st half. Much engaging , and well taken. Sushant Singh is perfect as @msdhoni . That coolness , and body language. #MSDhoniTheUntoldStory 1st half - Graphis is a let down , too amateurish. The story we never heard of @msdhoni . Well directed.
