BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG (2013) HINDI MOVIE REVIEW


A MELODRAMATIC BIOGRAPHY !!!








Producer :ROMP productions
Director : Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra
Star cast : Farhan Akthar, Sonam Kapoor, prakash raj, Divya datta, yograj singh.


Rakesh om prakash mehra is one of the leading movie maker of bollywood recent era, since his Rang De Basanthi movie which grabbed attention of critics as well as the audience equally and fetched many awards. Following RDB he made delhi 6 with abhishek bachchan which did not run well at the BO. This time he choosen the biography of the legend qathlete of india milkha singh.









Hindi film industry seldom produces movie on sports persons, some of the movies based on sports gained much popularity like LAGAAN and CHAK DE INDIA, some other movies flopped though.
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is realistic but at times it becomes melodramatic and some of elements of typical bollywood is forcefully added here and there. And movie’s run time is above 3 hrs. it’s a slow moving movie and narrative moves flashback  and present situations. 
Flashback of the younger milkhaa was good. Movie dragged in the middle portion (the love track). And the thrill factor at the climax was missing.
Full praise to farhaan, hard work can be seen and delivers his best performance in his career. Other suppoting cast did their part well. Sonam kapoor did not had much to do.
Cinematography was top notch, BGM was repetitive at times and it was apt. on the whole technically it was good.

Verdict : Watchable but not great as Milkha himself.
