Movie review: 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag'

What could have been a fast paced, laced with the pleasant smell of earth-kind of a story, turns into a meandering, indulgently long, and unnecessarily melodramatic in Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra's 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag'

It is an interesting story. It would be a gripping script. The flying Sikh has gone through enough adventure in his life to make for an interesting screenplay. The 13 important years of his life from 1947 to 1960, where he goes through this marvelous journey of being a 12-year-old forced to flee Pakistan after his parents are killed in a riot during Partition, to a rogue taken up to violence to a respected army soldier to being an extraordinary sportsman who won the affection of none other than the Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, Milkha Singh’s life makes for a fascinating story. But unfortunately what could have been a fast paced, laced with the pleasant smell of earth-kind of a story, turns into a meandering, indulgently long, and unnecessarily melodramatic in Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra’s 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag'.
