Bhaag Milkha Bhaag Movie Review
Ratings:4.5/5 Review By: Taran Adarsh Site:BollywoodHungama
A handful of films sprint that extra mile beyond providing meager entertainment to its spectators. BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG is one such cinematic experience. However, director Mehra and writer Prasoon Joshi encompass pertinent episodes/chapters from the icon's life and create a film that makes you salute the sportsperson, besides evoking the spirit of nationalism in the spectator. On the whole, BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG is sure to win accolades, admiration, respect and esteem, besides emerging as a champ. Reserve the applause for Milkha Singh and the team behind BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG. Give it a standing ovation!

He ran his first race for ek glass doodh. And he never stopped. Untiringly. He ran because it was his religion. 'BMB' traces his scarred childhood, brutalized by India's Partition; followed by penury and petty crimes. .Overall, 'BMB' pulsates with the storyteller's sheer passion all the way to the finish line. While you are on-the-run, pause to watch this one. Note: You will not like this film if in-depth biopics don't appeal to your taste.

I wish I could find any other reason to recommend Mehra’s three-plus hour film that attempts to be an epic, but is really thin in plot and goes in so many different directions before it finally solves the so-called mystery: Why would Milkha Singh not run in Pakistan? Milkha Singh was no doubt an inspiring figure, but the three hours that Guruji takes to walk us through the runner’s story – and that too just 13 years of his life seems way too long. Even a vibrant performance by Akhtar cannot save a film that attempts to be an epic like Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi.

The much anticipated Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is anything but the film that Milkha Singh deserves. The overlong Bhaag Milkha Bhaag seeks to achieve a dramatic heightening of the effect of a champion athlete’s rousing struggle to break free from the traumas of the past and turn adversity to opportunity. In the bargain, it reduces the human saga to a loud, melodramatic and over-wrought tale that overstays its welcome.To describe it in athletics terms, Bhaag Milkha Singh is a 400 metres sprint that feels like a cross-country race. Go for it only if you trust your endurance threshold.

What’s Good: From story, to acting, to screenplay, to direction; this one indeed is picture perfect! What’s Bad: Even if there was something, it was quite easy to miss those glitches! Watch or Not?: Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is one of those rare films which are hard to forget long after you are done with them. This Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra biopic based on the magnetic life of athlete Milkha Singh, is all about pluses that champions the spirit of human living! Watch it for Farhan Akhtar who impeccably replicates the soul of Milkha Singh and leaves you with goosebumps!

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag calls itself a biopic but it never stops feeling like an exaggerated yarn — the creative liberties taken are just ridiculous and expecting anything factually correct goes out the window. In Bhaag Milkha Bhaag literally every single dramatic turn is given the ’80s’ Bollywood and 2000s’ desi soap opera treatment to wrench emotion out of you.
Ratings:3/5 Review By: Daily Bhaskar Site:Dainik Bhaskar
The reality of Milkha Singh's biopic is lost in the overdose of drama that Bollywood so proudly serves on its platter.But after you sit through the dragging first half, the film starts gathering pace with the screen time now consumed more with Milkha's record-breaking achievements on the field than vignettes from his personal life. It is clear that Mehra and his team worked very hard to bring the story of Milkha Singh to the screen. There is a lot of research that went into BMB and the running sequences are quite gripping.
