Dangal (English: Wrestling) is an upcoming Indian biographical sports drama film directed by Nitesh Tiwari. It stars Aamir Khan portraying the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat, who taught wrestling to his daughters Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari. The former is Indias first female wrestler to win at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, where she won the gold medal (55 kg) while her sister Babita Kumari won the silver (51 kg). "Dangal" is the Hindi term for "a wrestling competition".

The music for Dangal is composed by Pritam, while lyrics is written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Kripa Shankar Bishnoi, a coach with the Indian womens wrestling team, has trained Aamir Khan and the entire crew for the wrestling sequences.
