Bhaag Milkha Bhaag Review

Hold on! A breath-taking movie with all the ingredients which makes it unarguably the best movie of the year. Milkha Singh, an Indian Olympist known as "The Flying Sikh" is played by none other than Farhan Akhtar who proves his mettle as an actor with a commendable performance. The movie tells you about the life of an athlete who faced all the possible lows in the life during his childhood during the Indian Civil War and Post Independence disputes with neighboring nation.

Milkha Singh fights against all odds to make a living and does all sort of work to ensure that he is fortunate enough to have meal twice a day. He starts his first race for a glass of milk (ha!!) and from there on he never looks back and keeps running and running to be the most complete athlete India has ever produced. Through immense hard work, and round the clock determination by running uncountable miles everyday, he becomes the fastest of all.

One after another, he starts winning races making his nation and coach proud who urged him to take up running. He breaks several records, wins at several world events until he faces a heart break defeat at 1960 olympics. Still, he takes up the new challenge and emerges as a winner at the races that follow! Director Rakeysh Mehra is the person who deserves the most credit after Farhan Akhtar and Prasoon Joshi for bringing in the realism in to the movie.

One just can't take off his eyes Farhan Akhtar who puts in all his blood and sweat in to Milkha Singh's character. This movie can be undoubtedly the best in the recent times, as it manages to keep that intensity till the finish line.
