Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2013)

Story Line-up: Story of the glorious journey of being Milkha Singh to Flying Sikh. Farhaan Akhtar, the one who puts energy in the movie played the role of Milkha Singh. He totally justified the character. Two story runs parallel one of the story is of his childhood to become an Army Commando and another one is of the winnings and his training of representing the India on the International platform in Olympics, National Games, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games. Movie is not just a movie, you can just relive the era of patriotism and the tiff between India and Pakistan partition after the independence. Amazing story telling. Much inspirational thing is, Milkha Singh sold the rights to produce the movie, which is based on a book written by him, for one rupee but inserted a clause stating that a share of the profits would be given to a charitable trust set up in his name.
Performance: Milkha Singh's challenging character is played by Farhaan Akhtar, he totally justified the role. The hardwork he done can be seen in the movie. He done training for running throughout 18 months. Its tremendous performance as an actor. I became fan of him. Sonam Kapur played the role of his crush Biru, but I dint go to cinema hall to see her. I was pretty much interested in Milkha Singh's life story. Pawan Malhotra played role of Milkha's coach in the army regiment. He is a method actor and totally justified a character of Sardar and his dialogues are too motivating while he is giving training to Milkha Singh. Yograj Singh (Yuvraj Singh's father) played the role of on-field coach of Milkha, I never know he is also an actor and his lines are also inspiring. The story puts charm in the character's performance by actors. As far as I know, Farhan Akhtan dint charge his fees for the movie, while Sonam also dint charge for the movie, both have just charged the signing amount worth Rs. 11. Prakash Raj is also in the movie and he puts some comic events and alive the movie from its serious track to a comedy one, he proved him a percentile actor. Divya Dutta played role of Milkha's elder sister and shown the perfect era of male dominant victim in the movie.
Direction: Rakesh Omprakash Mehra came back with another patriotic movie after Rang De Basanti. The story telling is the essential of the movie. Story drafted by Prasoon Joshi in an amazing way, its hard to put all the cosines in one dish while one is directing a Bio-pic of a living legend. We can see Rakesh Omprakash Mehra in the movie in scene in the plane, he played a little role of pilot of a plane in which Milkha and team was going to Olympic.
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, trio did fantastic job by composing such background score as well as songs of the movie. Two songs are in the favourite list of mine, Zinda and Alfallah. One gives energy and another gives charm of love. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag also an energetic song. Ghul Mil remind me the era of Shammi Kapoor.
Verdict: Must watch movie. The movie set the benchmark in story telling of a bio- pic. Meanwhile, so many "Whistle blowing" and 'Woows' yelled in the cinema hall. So much energetic. I bow my hands to Farhaan Akhtar for playing such a challenging role and Prasoon Joshi-Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra for giving an amazing flick for utilizing our time in watching the movie in a productive way.
Rating: I cannot rate the movie because if I judge this movie on the basis of just a film its totally wrong, Milkha Singh is a true living legend. Standing ovation from my side to you and Salutes. If I have to just the give a rating to the movie on the basis of its performances and directions and music I would definitely give 10 out of 10 stars. Must watch movie Truly energetic.
