Inspiring Journey of Milkha but little disappointing in terms of reel.

Rating: 7/10 (17 July 2013)

I saw this movie yesterday and being biopic, I was expecting the movie to be little lengthy (from usual ones), which it was actually. But I must say there were few scenes and songs which I find no place in the actual plot, So they could have been deleted. Coming to direction, The movie was more of a drama piece than an actual biopic. Starts will loosing the Rome Olympics DRAMATICALLY and ends with sure shot win in Indo pak match. For me climax could have been done better or some other part of Milkha's life should have been made part of climax. The efforts of Farhan as Milkha is worth appreciating. He has done remarkable job. I really liked small Milkha. The small kid , for me, was the hero of the film. He has done great job. Sonam had a small role. She did nice work. I always have problem with her dialog delivery technique. But any ways work of all the actors is remarkable. The songs are well written and pictured, but they should have been cut short from the movie. Overall, movie is one time watch, a little lengthy, inspires for success and could have been a better tribute to the life of Flying Sikh.
