Heartfelt and Inspiring

Rating: 8/10 (14 July 2013)

Heartfelt and inspiring are the two words that comes to mind about this movie. Rakesh Omprakash Mehra does a stellar job of crafting a stellar biopic. Most of our generation barely knows anything about Milkha Singh barring the fact that he was known as the "flying Sikh", this movie outlines the first 30 years of his life and enlightens us about his history. What makes Milkha what he is articulated well seamlessly through multiple flashbacks. Farhan Akhtar does a fine job shifting between Milkha's anguish over his past, his naive dreams and most of all his will power. The pace of the movie drops in a few scenes but still keeps the viewer tuned in. Great watch!!! Easily one of the best Hindi films in 2013.
