OVERVIEW ROPM delivers yet again a tale in his own style (fond of changing tones in his films), where the length is bit of a disappointment otherwise the content heals the flaw with a superb execution and sticky pace, that tops with Farhan Akhtar's outstanding performance (the actor gave his blood n sweat into the character) and he emerges out to be the soul of the movie physically and mentally. He keeps on breaking records but witnesses a heartbreaking defeat in Rome Olympics (1960) but thats not it, he takes it in his stride, overcomes his catastrophic past which was the cause of Olympic defeat and emerges out to be a clear winner. Joins the Indian Army and since then his passion, eagerness and situations along with the efforts (negative & positive both) made by different people led him to become an athlete, a runner who remained uncased even by his own daemons. He finds the purpose of life when he falls for Beeru (Sonam). BMB traces his scarred childhood, brutalized by India's partition followed by penury and petty crimes. Milkha Singh ran to save his life, to eat, to dream, for love, for country, for passion and to overcome his own personal fears, ''and what a run it was!''. It reminds me of the great metaphor ' The race of Life'. This Sikh has been running his whole life, starting his first race for a glass of milk to the Olympics.and never ending.
During the train-journey, Pavan Malhotra (former coach) reveals the story of Milkha Singh and his reason to not visit Pakistan to the other two gentlemen which unleashes an assiduous, interesting and penultimate story about the legend. Nehru sends Milkha's latter and former coach to Chandigarh so that they can convince him for the tour. Film starts with a defeat in Olympics, carried on when Milkha refuses to visit Pakistan (has his valid reasons for doing so) but Pt. There are no twists or turns in the movie but its just a tale told on a clean slate. The film is about Milkha Singh and introspects his being through the eyes of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. When I first watched its teaser in October last year and first trailer in had me going since then, and now I am happy that my expectation was worth it. I watched a Paid-Preview of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag last night and I was star-strucked by its fame watching the house-full crowd in the theater (as if it is the first day of the release).
