Flood of Inspiration!

Lately, I've not written any film reviews, but on a special request from a friend and a film brimming with confidence has ignited that spark again and here I'm now with BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG!

A small boy comes all the way to India crushed amongst a pile of stinking dead bodies from Pakistan during partition and swears to never go back to the place where the blood of his own's can be felt in the air. It's the biggest nightmare of Milkha Singh's life and Farhan Akhtar has played his part to perfection with the obstinate behaviour and stentorian determination made him stand-out. His chiselled physique, mannerisms and dedication of an athlete and with confidence in himself that 'he can do it' made the character look more real.

The kid who plays young Milkha, Japtej Singh, is as convincing as Farhan Akhtar (who plays adult Milkha Singh). Divya Dutta in the role of his elder sister brings out the emotional quotient of the film, just adding a feather to the cap. Sonam Kapoor and Rebecca Breeds did not have much to do, but were filling the void of love quotient in the film. The inspirational vibes that this movie spreads, gives you goose-bumps with every passing moment. The music of the film also gives a sharp edge to the film and makes it more intensively inspiring. If you feel a teardrop rolling down your cheeks at a point, the film has made an impact on you. Farhan Akhtar has set a benchmark which will be very difficult to surpass.

The 'Flying Sikh' has proved his worth and hence, such a nicely carved film has found a niche in its genre and the industry. Milkha Singh, you running beauty!
