Race to the Finishing Line...!!!

Here comes a movie after a long time, which definitely makes it to the finishing line of the Box office not only with just great response but along with accolades and admiration from the critics and the masses.

“Bhaag Milkha Bhaag” is a not just a biopic on the legendary Milkha Singh, it’s a cinematic experience that comes straight from the heart.  Thankfully Rakesh Om Praskash Mehra is back in form after the sheer disappointment of Delhi-6.

Scripted in detail by Prasoon Joshi, the movie chronicles the athlete’s triumph and failures. The only place where the script falters is the excessive repetition of melodramatic scenes, recalling the tribulations faced by Milkha Singh as a child during the India- Pakistan partition. These scenes could have been escaped to avoid the 3 hours and 40 minutes length of the movie.  

Some scenes are really endearing and done to the minutest detail with perfection. Portrayal of Milkha’s aspirations of to earn a glass of milk for breakfast, to wear a blazer with the national emblem, and the strong determination to break the world record will leave you stunned with the impeccable performance of Farhan Akhtar . Rakesh Mehra could be inconsistent with his part records but when he’s good he’s excellent.

And it’s needless to emphasize that without Farhaan Akhtar, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag would be a body without a soul. Yes, Farhaan Akhtar does it again and again. He proves his dedication and hard work in the most unique way with his each film. Right from getting the physique, to the look and the mannerisms of a Sardar, this man deserves applaud and a standing ovation for breathing life and soul into the Director’s vision.

Watch it for Farhan Akhtar who impeccably replicates the soul of Milkha Singh and leaves you with goosebumps and for Rakesh Mehra who comes back with an almost perfect narration.
