He was the international athlete of his time. He conquered the sprinting track in 1958. What the Flying Sikh achieved in his lifetime was more than just milestones. Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and writer Prasoon Joshi present the human and emotional value of Milkha Singh’s achievements. Yes it shows Milkha Singh’s sporting achievements but it doesn’t portray him like a clichéd cinematic hero. It’s a solid biopic drama one that doesn’t unnecessarily glorify its subject. Had those histrionics been avoided this would have been the film to watch.īut take nothing away from the impact of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. It presents the ethos of Milkha Singh to great effect but in its whopping 3 hour 10 minutes run time it employs too many unnecessary dramatic, humour and entertainment elements to distract you from one of the most important sports stories in this nation’s history.

This movie is both incredibly inspirational and tedious.

That’s one piece of silly humour you won’t even find in Khushwant Singh’s joke books. So where you have the inspirational “Chirian to mein baaz tudaun, gidran to mein sher banaun, sawa lakh se ek ladaun, tabhe Gobind Singh naam kahaun” (I’ll make a sparrow fight a falcon, I’ll make lions out of hyenas, I’ll make one man fight a million warriors and only then will I be called the true guru, Gobind Singh) you also have this rather embarrassing exchange: Stella (Milkha Singh’s Australian love interest) asks “Are you guys relaxing?” to which Milkha (Farhan Akhtar) says, “No! Myself Milkha Singh, 400 meters”.
