awaited biopic, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
finally hit screens yesterday, July 12.
While the entire team including its
actors, Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor,
Divya Dutta and former athlete Milkha Singh himself shared a very emotional
chord with the film, critics and the
audiences alike have churned out a
mixed bag of opinions.
Our very own Shubhra Gupta stresses on
the fact that though the story is
undoubtedly wondrously inspiring, the
director's portrayal of it seems forced
and hard selling.
Though most agreed that Farhan Akhtar
gave an absolutely out-standing
performance in the film, some said that
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag opened as a
promising film, however, somewhere
along the three hours, the story lost its depth as over-dramatization towards
the end and the usual Bollywood masala
flavor took over.
Though a few claimed the film did not do
justice as a biopic on Milkha Singh, the
former sportman watched Bhaag Milkha
Bhaag on the eve of its release and was
clearly touched by Farhan's performance,
"Farhan has played the part so well, he is almost a duplicate copy of
Milkha Singh
from every angle. He made me cry."
Most of Bollywood showered praise on
Farhan and the BMB team.

The audience too made sure to give a
shout out to the Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
team. However, not all reactions seemed
positive.
No matter the reviews, Bhaag Milkha
Bhaag has clearly created a rage. The
film collected approximately Rs. 8 cr on
Friday, while the Thursday previews
collected around Rs. 1.05 cr. Business is
expected to escalate for the rest of the weekend.
