Watched " Bhaag Milkha Bhaag " - It is a biopic on one of the greatest athletes of India - Milkha Singh aka Flying Sikh. A story of grit, determination, perseverance and sheer will power to excel. It is about a person who went through the haunting past of the India - Pakistan partition, poverty, being a vagabond, losing an Olympics medal by the fraction of a second to being India's Ace runner, a world record holder and a recipient of the Padmashri award. Milkha Singh's character seems to be tailor made for Farhan Akhtar. You just can imagine anyone else in that role. The attitude, looks, mannerisms, body language is just perfect. Farhan could surely be Bollywood's next perfectionist after Aamir Khan. Sonam Kapoor's performance is worth the Rs 11 that she took as her fee. Cricketer Yuvraj Singh's father Yograj Singh as Milkha's Team India coach, Pawan Malhotra as the Army coach, Prakashraj as Parade leader and Divya Dutta as Milkha's sister have given notable performances. The songs are hummable too. The nutty Sardar with his six pack body will win your heart. The movie is 3 hours 8 minutes long and go for it only if you like biopics or offbeat movies. One of the best biopics to be made in recent years and it definitely puts Farhan Akhtar in the race for the Best Actor award this year.
