Dangal chronicles the story of Mahavir Singh Phogat who hoped to win a gold medal for India in wrestling. He coached his daughters Geeta and Babita Phogat to fulfil his dream. The film charts Mahavir Phogat and Geeta and Babita journey in the sport of wrestling and their success story - Geeta fulfilled her father's dream in 2010 Commonwealth Games. Babita won silver at the same event.
 

In the film actress Fatima Sana Sahikh plays Geeta while Sanya Malhotra portrays the role of Babita. Aamir plays Mahavir Phogat both young and old version. Television star Sakshi Tanwar was cast as Mahavir Phogat's wife Daya.
