Overdramatic Flying Sikh

Rating: 8/10 (15 July 2013)

I went to watch the Bhaag Milkha Bhaag the other day.I did not had high expectation from the movie.May be this was the reason I wasn't that disappointed with the movie.
I like the way director structure this movie by starting it on low point and ending it on high note.It was a good attempt to put Milkha Singh's life on the screen.But what this movie lacks was the Character development which is the most important factor of the Biography genre.There were few character for example, a Sikh friend of Mikha Singh while he was serving in the army.I did not get why that character was included or there should be a better use of that character(It keeps on reminding me "Gomer Pyle" from Full metal jacket).The movie does produce some exciting moments but it gets lost because of run-time of the movie.
Zinda is the only catchy song that comes on your lips.In the acting department Farhan Akhtar was gave best performance till date of his acting career.He tried to give total justice to the character and his hard work can be easily seen while you will be watching this movie.As far as the Director was concerned,I could not able to found something new,refreshing which Rakesh Omprakash Mehra always gives.
If it were a bit short movie in length I think this was the worth a watch for solid performance of Farhan Akhtar.
