terrible... so disappointed.
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
View MoreThis is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreDirection, Screenplay, Cinematography: Condition after partition, rural scenes, sincere love, friendship, coach – athlete relationship, discipline, hard work of athlete, etcetera all have been pictured well. I would deduct half a mark because I think movie could have been shortened by 15 minutes or so in second half (3.5/5).Tone: The movie depicts story of a Sikh who after partition moves to India. He grows rogue (because of what he witnesses) until the woman he loves addresses him to become a respected person. This makes him to join army where he finds his athletic skills. The later part is how he keeps on winning and bringing pride to India. At the end, Pakistan gives him the title 'The flying Sikh' and movie ends (4/5).Music: Music is very good (4.5/5). It highly adds to charm of the movie.Acting: Acting is very good (4/5).Final Verdict: It is worth adding to your DVD collection [(4/5) (9/10)].
View More"Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" is a great creation on Sardar Milkha Singh's real life. The backgrounds of 1950-60s were shown very well. As well Singh's life as being the best athlete of that time can be seen along with the emotional part of his life.. The problems he has faced during the time of partition of the country were too emotional. But how he achieved the success by converting into an athlete from an Indian Sepoy gives a change to his story which never stopped throughout his life.. He made a lot of records and gives pride to our country which is speechless. HatsOff to Sardar Milkha Singh & this movie which is fully dedicated to him.

View MoreWonder why such a movie was not made earlier? looks like another film called 'Paan Singh Tomar' has set the ball rolling for something that vast majority of Indians did not know about the life of its famous sportsmen, circumstances and history associated with it, like the Friendship games between India & Pakistan in BMB, which leaves some hangover in the end, with vibrations that will be resonating for a long time. Besides sports, there is so much associated with this film, like the aftermath of partition between India and Pakistan and its effects, creating innumerable victims, whose lives got shaped for worse. Had it not been for the army and sports that embraces Milkha Singh, we would have seen another Paan Singh Tomar like personality that Milkha Singh could have turned into. Hats off to Rakeysh Mehra and its producers for bringing this real life story on a celluloid screen for everyone, especially India's citizens, who would have been deprived otherwise to see this historic episode, which would have remained hidden. The song and dance in the bar reminded one of a similar song from 'Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara'. One or two slow numbers could have been avoided to make the film bit shorter. Overall it was a good blend of history and main stream Bollywood movie. Farhan Akhtar definitely deserves 2013's best actor award.
