Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) [36/50]

Language: Hindi

Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor, Pavan Malhotra
Story: A slightly fictionalized story based on the true life of “the flying sikh” Milkha singh and his journey in life before getting the aforementioned title.

Screenplay and direction: Direction is very nice and screenplay drags and could be much better.

Performances: The actors are good. The supporting cast in my view was very good such as Pavan Malhotra and Diuvya Dutta. Farhan Akhtar has done a good enough job.

Interesting:  Farhan Akhtar started running like a real athlete by the time the shooting of this movie was done, he had trained excessively.
USP: The true life story of this living legend is quite interesting; the sense of purpose is infectious, good settings and performances.

Downside: I am not a fan of movies being shot with digital camera so it was distracting, the movie drags and is way too long, and the editing could be crisp.



Verdict: Overall it’s a good family watch, with only a few scenes as exceptions. The movie fares well in the mind and the music is good. 7/10.
