Scriptwriter: Prasoon Joshi This National Awardee (Taare Zameen Par) needs no introduction. After delivering one of the greatest blockbuster of bollywood "Rang De Basanti", Mehra is back with a bang!!!!! Direction is superb with almost no loopholes left to be noticed. The whole film in a sense, is perfect.ĭirector: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra Now, i don't think i have to tell you about his past achievements. Based on the real life story of an awesome athlete "The Flying Sikh" Milkha Singh, the story solely revolves around the hardships and horrors of his life. I know this film is criticized for being overlong, but there is not a moment where you will get bored.
"Bollywood needs a better class of directors, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is gonna give you that". If critics pull films like these down for abstract reasons
we will forever have 20 goons flying in the air with one punch from one man. So Milkha was a true champion in every sense. after partition India did not have either the experience nor the infra to produce runners for 400mtrs. it is at the border of quick races and long jogs. I would like to mention a statement of one of the rediff users who wrote against critics who are undermining the effect of this movie: "note that 400mtrs is a very difficult race to run. However, all this can be sided by the grandeur of Farhan's effort. His attempt of giving the movie an epic convention seriously affected the narrative portion. Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra has done a decent job, still I fell he could have done a lot better especially in the scenes of Milkha's childhood memories. Hindi cinema celebrates the life of this living legend with songs and drama and music. We as an audience witness the physical stress and labor that an athlete as likes of Milkha Singh undergo to become a 'flying Sikh'. Farhan has done an awesome job, and if I say awesome then it is not for his physique and dialogue delivery but for the transformation, he has gone to become Milkha Singh. Really? I think they should only rate Hollywood movies because whoever thinks this movie is no good does not know what Hindi cinema is.
The reason they give is that movie lacks coherence and clarity. Few critics, few including Rediff ones whom I look for some good writing, have rated low to BMB.
