An Amazing Film

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2013)

I loved the movie, Milkha's character portrayed by Farhan deserves national award. Apart from the Milkha's personal life, the film is inspired by Pan Singh Tomar, Invincible, The Express. Farhan Akhtar is Milkha in the film, I was searching for Farhan but failed.
Sonam's character does not have length and she does not leave any impression; however, Divya Dutta amazed us again with her portrayal of Milkha's sister.
Best part part is that Director is able to tackle several issues at once e.g. Milkha's life in itself seems to see a lot in little time. The movie is also about the partition of India and the communal forces in Pakistan hell bent to kill the people of other religions e.g. Sikhs, Hindus.
The film is also a attribution to the sportsperson why single commitment for the sport brings them laurel. At various places in the film, it reminds me of other films; for instance, when Milkha goes for athletics for food, his dislike for spikes shoes,etc. reminds us of Pan Singh Tomar.
Farhan was on Milkha's skin no doubt; again I would recommend him for the National Best Actor award.
