The 1956 Melbourne games seemed like a bunch of young Australian hipsters with an American accent, going to a 1950’s theme party while donning cowboy hats. Had they invested the same efforts in depicting the 1956 Melbourne games, the results would have been a lot better. The India of 1945-1960 was meticulously depicted, it seems very real. Even ignoring didn’t help, as the boy kept slipping on the same mannequin over and over, for a good few seconds. Except for one or two, the rest were all mannequins. Sadly, the effect lasted only for few seconds because then my eyes fell on the dead bodies. He slips twice, once in blood and the second time he lands in between the corpses of his dead parents and relatives. Like the one where the young Milkha (played by Master Jabtej Singh) returns home looking for his mother. However, there were some goof-ups that destroyed some very good emotional moments. He directed this biopic with a lot of conviction and experience. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is back after not-so-good, not-so-bad film, Delhi 6. The film then unfolds the story behind his haunting past, his hardships, his glory and the making of the ‘ Flying Sikh’.
#YOGRAJ SINGH BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG MOVIE#
This movie starts with Milkha Singh (played by Farhan Akhtar) sprinting in the 1960 Olympic Games of Rome, where the coach shouts, “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag”, unintentionally triggering a series of terrifying flashbacks, costing him an Olympic medal. The name of the film comes from the last words spoken by Milkha Singh’s father, during the Partition riots.
#YOGRAJ SINGH BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG FULL#
Like all the other good biopics, even this movie is full of anguish, disappointment, courage and triumph. So, if you think this sounds compelling, then the next two and a half hours is sure to leave you speechless.īhaag Milkha Bhaag is a biopic based on the life of Indian legend and former athlete Milkha Singh. But, we are talking about an extraordinary legend who grew up in not quite extraordinary era where people fought hard to meet their basic needs. Farhan Akhtar in a new look lives the part, he is superb he conveys a lot through expressions and portrays the part effectively and he is flawless.It might sound strange that the prize which enticed Milkha Singh to grab his first-ever win, was just a glass of milk. Camera-work is superb, lot of attention is given to detail and recreating the old 1940-1960 period. Direction by ROM is superb Music by SEL is superb, the title song is the best song, while Hawan Karenge is superb too, The songs mostly play in the background but sometimes they do slacken the pace. However some things seemed to have been left incomplete, like what happened to Divya's husband, but perhaps it was intentional to keep the focus on the story, however the film does wander in between The film also suffers due to unwarranted length(3 hours 7 minutes) but yet the film keeps you involved, the running scenes are superb while the romantic interludes do seem stretched in between, the songs too sometimes slow the pace but nothing seems out of place. The film starts off superbly, the initial scenes between Prakash Raj, Farhan Akhtar are superb, the scenes between Farhan and Pawan Malhotra are fantastic, Also the entire partition angle, Farhan- Divya's reunion is superbly handled. The film is more talked about being a biopic of Milkha Singh and in that respect it's commendable. The film also marks the comeback of Farhan Akhtar who was last seen on screen in Zindagi na Milegi Dobara(2011). The film saw Farhan Akhtar portraying the lead character of legendary athlete Milkha Singh who.
