The film by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is a tribute to the legendary sportsman. After making films like ‘Aks’, ‘Rang De Basanti, ‘Delhi 6’, the director succeeds in pulling off 'BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG', a feat that speaks volumes about his passion for the subject.
It is not true that the film doesn’t have any drawback. But it surely leaves you with feelings that you may not be able to describe in words.
Milkha Singh was a victim of the partition of India in 1947 that created history. Milkha (Farhan Akhtar) is a champion who is often troubled by his painful past.
His father’s last words “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag” resonates in his ears time and again, rattling his senses. Milkha has to literally run for his life.
If he had not come across his love (Sonam Kapoor), the world wouldn’t have ever known Milkha Singh. To win her heart, Milkha quits stealing and takes up a responsible job. He joins the Indian Army.
During a training session, the trainer (Pawan Malhotra) of Milkha, discovers the athlete in him. And the success story of the legendary Milkha Singh aka the Flying Sikh starts.
Farhan Akhtar as Milkha is an absolute treat to watch. The actors who add colour very nicely to the film are- Pawan Malhotra, Prakash Raj and Yograj Singh.
The music by Shankar-Ehasaan-Loy is like breathe of fresh air, it will certainly leave you with a sense of pride for having the legendary athlete as a fellow countryman.
'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' is really nice movie and if you are a patriot then you must watch this movie.
