Prasoon Joshi does the rest – his lines keep the tale from slipping into hype and it helps enormously. Pradhan has to stay close all the way and he does it with finesse. The storyline means that Pradhan almost never has a chance to zoom out and give us the breathtaking panoramic sweeps that a different story might have. He gets a big canvas and he strides on it. It might work just as well on radio and disc players, too.īinod Pradhan is a master voyeur with his camera. In the movie, with finely executed scenes playing out, their music is almost pitch and tone perfect. There could've been a song less but it doesn't matter. Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy are in great form. He did it with Rang De Basanti and he's done it with Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Mehra seems to have found a way to navigate long years of Indian history and put together rousing prismatic chronicles that hang in your memory like a tapestry of hurt and honour. Mehra suggests Milkha almost made a career choice of a totally different nature, which is not usually part of the pre- Bhaag Milkha Bhaag narrative. The film stays a bit with Milkha's initial years in India as a vagabond in the relief camps where he is nurtured by a gang of moonlighters. The man who sprinted his way into track and field glory almost went the other way. For Milkha the child, it must been a life-altering nightmare.
The lanky Sikh who barely gets anything in life the first time as he slowly settles in India after being forced to run from Pakistan is part of Indian sports folklore.Įxclusive interview - Milkha Singh: The making of a legendĪlthough we know of him, we have never been intimate with Milkha. You might have a sense that the story is vaguely familiar. I wouldn't be surprised if the real Milkha's offspring or village friends start to gape at Akhtar. He probably looks like the real Milkha the most and that sets him up to get into the athlete's skin. In Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, he is raw and has genuine hurdles to overcome. Under Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's eyes, Akhtar moves out of his normal stilted routine of a rich boy who makes it in the end by surmounting challenges that never were. Unless Milkha Singh comes up with something startling in his autobiography, Farhan Akhtar is how new India will know Milkha.
#WATCH BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG YOUTUBE MOVIE#
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is the feel-good Hindi movie of the decade. On Thursday night, with India playing Sri Lanka in a cricket final, every seat was taken in the cinema. Instead, you might find yourself sitting comfortably through this one because you finally have an Indian story you can applaud without apology.
But Bhaag Milkha Bhaag doesn't numb the bum. At three hours and nine minutes, it's the longest biopic in a generation in India.
