Meet Milkha in Farhan's skin !

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2013)

I am a big fan of Farhan, be it his direction, as an actor or anything he does. While watching this movie, I was so engrossed into the character that it never came to my conscious mind that it is Farhan on screen, you can always say he was chosen to make it look so, but he did make Milkha singh 60 years younger. Many people are complaining about the pace of the movie, I went for a night show and I only realized it until the end of the movie and I was like wtf!!.. how come it be so, I was sitting for more than three hours without even noticing. It never occurred to me, the pace is very well compensated by the narration. The scene where Milkha gave his blazer to his sister and she discovers her ear-rings in the pocket and when Milkha gave his medals to his army coach, Gurudev,are one of those moments of the film which takes it inches towards being an iconic movie.
I liked the movie, very much, one of the best character based true story.
Thumbs up!
