three words- salute farhan salute!

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2013)

One of the most gritty, action-packed, emotional and inspiring biopic made in the history of Indian Cinema. From the fire of the pistol to the finishing line Rakesh Omprakash Mehra holds you onto the edge of the seat. You smile with the small Milkha. You clench your teeth when he runs with sore and bleeding feet. You cry with him. You singto his numbers. Farhan Akhtar becomes Milkha Singh in this biopic.
I have never seen anybody work so hard to play a character. For me he is this year's best actor! The side roles chip in to this master piece. Divya Dutt stands out as the proud elder sister. Sonam needs to improve and a very smart cameo by the captain of the movie makes it a once in a lifetime experience.
The songs come and go along well. Zinda and the title track bring you into pace with Farhan's "Milkha". Final verdict: Stop reading, Bhaag to your nearest theater to see the story unfold.
