The True “Flying Sikh” of India


Movie name: Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Pavan Malhotra, Sonam Kapoor, Prakash Raj, Divya Dutta, Art Malik, Yograj Singh
Director: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra
Ratings: 4/5

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra does it once again!! The movie revolves around the flying Sikh of India, Milkha Singh. The movie portrays his struggle from an ordinary boy to the famous athlete of the country. It also highlights about the instances from his shrilly past. At a very young age, he was forcefully brought to India during the partition. Since then, he was survived by his sister. The movie also touched upon various aspects of Milkha’s personal life, be it his love life with Biru, or his die heart friendship with --- or be it his determination to win 400m race.
The movie begins as Milkha Sing walks into Rome 1960 Olympic Stadium for the 400m finals. The gripping background score by Shankar- Ehsaan- Loy along with the cheers from the crowd was enough to give one goose bums. Though the script by Prasoon Joshi lacked content but the editing and video team should be given a pat on the back as the video captured along with the transitions that took place back and forth in time made the movie looks so fluent to watch.  However, the movie was bogged up with a lot of detailing in the first half but there wasn’t any complain with the second half.
Farhan Akhtar is a chem of an actor; it is always a treat to watch him on screen. His acting has again surpassed all the expectations. Divya Dutt has done a marvellous job as Milkha’s sister. It just shows why she is known as one of the fine actresses in the country.
By the end of the movie, you would coume out of the theatre in a hope to be a better person and that’s what leads to the ultimate victory of the movie.

Does celebrity influence the youth of today?

Well in today’s technological era, there is a numerous large number of youth who tend to follow the celebs blindly not even knowing what the celebs are doing is right or wrong. Psychologically, the teens usually undergo identity crisis, where they feel the need to have an association to a particular group of individuals. And this is the reason, why they try imitating the works of their actors, thinking that it would provide them with enormous popularity in their circle. I found an incident, which would support this statement. A group of youth was held by the police for robbery, despite their attempt of escaping on the bikes. They told the police, that they were inspired by Dhoom movie (Where after a robbery the thieves, escape on the bikes). Besides this, the biggest filmstar of Bollywood, Mr. Shahrukh Khan, has been caught smoking on several occasions in public places.
