Dangal becomes the first Indian film with an audio description for the visually impaired!

Superstar Aamir Khan's 'Dangal' has become a trendsetter in more ways than one. The engaging and motivating story of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat’s dedication and perseverance touched millions in India.It is biographical sports-film that starred Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra in pivotal roles.

 

On Mahavir Singh Phogat, Aamir had once told, “Here is a man who once envisioned that his unfulfilled wrestling ambitions would be fulfilled by his future son, but had four daughters instead. He faced immense pressure from his family to keep trying for a boy… And yet, not only was he content with his daughters, he also broke all social norms by believing in them, investing in them, and raising them to be wrestlers in their own right rather than merely bringing them up to marry them off.”

 

Dangal has made over 1,900 crores worldwide and is inching to a whopping 2,000 crore mark. After breaking records across India and China, Dangal has become the first Indian Film to have added an audio description for its visually impaired TV audience.

 

As per a tabloid, NGO Saksham has finished the audio description of the movie. Rummi Seth, founder of the NGO told, "It took us over two months to do the audio description of 'Dangal'. What people don't realise is that entertainment is as important for a differently-abled person as it is for us."

 

Saksham will also be working on movies like Hindi Medium, Airlift and Raagdesh. They have also done audio tracks for movies like PK and Black.
