Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is
an intense bio-drama
Some
lives are made for the big screen. Milkha Singh's certainly is one.
A
belligerent film, Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra made an intensifying film after Rang
De Basanti, BMB stands as best Bio-drama ever made in Indian cinema.
It’s Farhan Akhtar, who steals whole show with his brave witty performance, was
outstanding in each frame. To that adds color Pawan Malhorta & Divya Dutta in
their less limited role.
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is perhaps one such piece
of cinematic art that bridges the gap between the sportsman and the various
incidents that led Milkha to superstardom. It is an important film, has many
reasons to celebrate, one celebration of our forgotten hero “Milkha Singh”.
Storytelling was so intellectual; Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s film is a tribute
to the legendary sportsman. After having made films like ‘Aks’, ‘Rang De
Basanti, ‘Delhi 6’, Mehra succeeds in pulling off BMB; a feat that speaks
volumes about his passion for the subject.
The cinematography (Binod Pradhan) is outstanding and Bhaag Milkha Singh heights on striking visual compositions.
The film could have avoided its length, where first half goes pretty slow, draws you from the second half.
