Willpower n dedication personified on n off screen

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2013)

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is based on the life story of the most iconic Indian track and field athlete,Milkha Singh.It covers his journey from the villages of Multan to Helsinki,Melbourne,Paris and finally culminates in Lahore.Throughout the journey,we are introduced to the experiences that make him climb the top of the ladder,with a few stumbles in between.
PROS: 1.Farhan Akhtar all the way.A herculean effort to emulate the hard work n dedication of Milkha Singh on screen n boy he did pull it off. 2.The narration of the story was beautiful with the moments reminding Milkha of his childhood but not getting drawn off in classical Bollywood style(like going after Sonam Kapoor throughout the country) 3.Theme of the movie is beautifully depicted.As in Batman,"Why do we fall down Bruce?? To learn to pick ourselves up".And yes Milkha does stumble many times but at the end of it all comes up triumphs.
CONS:The movie could have been a bit more compact specially on the music scenes because the music was not of the masterpieces of Bollywood.But saying that there wasn't any moment in the movie when you would feel bored.
All in all,Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is a compelling watch for not only movie lovers but almost everybody.We can all appreciate the fact from the movie that in the race of life be it on track and fields or in our personal experiences,"Willpower,dedication n hard work can make us reach for the sky".
