Bhaag Milkha Bhaag - Run and watch it now :)

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag - Whether the story of Flying Sikh shown in this movie is true or not only one person has all the answers to it and that is the Flying Sikh himself ,and if he and his family members has not objected to this but being supportive about this project then I guess it is close to reality ,of course with its share of cinematic liberties :) Milkha Singh is our national treasure and a biopic on him can only generate interest and add the presence of Farhan Akhtar the interest only gets further enhanced. No one among today's actors available in the Hindi Film industry could have portrayed a better Milkha Singh other than Farhan Akhtar his chiseled, athletic physique, the hair, the body language ,the overall awesome effort to portray Milkha Singh to perfection is quite evident , must say he has done a brilliant job specially in the second half of the movie,one actor whose tears might end up making your eyes moist as well and when he runs you too would feel like saying 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' :) But the one actor whom I wanted to give a standard ovation was Pawan Malhotra its really unfortunate that the Hindi Film industry never gave his due credit...he was simply outstanding with a coach of that sort one can only win all the battles of life... There is Cricketer Yuvraj Singh's father Yograj Singh too who has done a reasonably decent job. Liked Prakash Raj too in the brief role and yes Divya Dutta too was superb. Honestly there was absolutely no need of Sonam Kapoor and if her scenes were not there they could have finished the movie in less than hours for sure,ok even from character perspective if that character was required a real actress would have been a better choice for sure. Jabtej Singh, as the young Milkha has done a fantastic job for sure. Loved the shots taken in Ladakh brought back the memories of my visit there. The scenes which i thought were outstanding: -The scene when Farhan Akhtar breaks down while visiting his village post partition - When Farhan Akhtar gets the Indian team blazer and comes home and puts the same blazer on his sister (Divya Dutta) and she finding her gold earrings there - When Milkha Singh's whole unit breaks into the Fauji impromptu dance that was surely feet tapping - All the running training scenes were superb ...everyone who runs would love it - The Pakistan President General Ayub giving the title 'Flying Sikh' Overall I did like the movie for sure and recommend it. This is an uplifting movie which is bound to leave a good feeling...Watch it for Farhan Akhtar,Pawan Malhotra,for inspiration...
