The first half could have been tightened but perhaps the filmmaker's stubbornness becomes evident. Milkha overcomes this fear in a race in Pakistan. But here amid the noise of that evening, he turns around and loses. Then comes the drive, which he lives with and four years later, he reaches 1960 Rome Olympics after winning the Asiad and Commonwealth Games among many other championships, and all eyes are on him. He understands that the race is not as simple as it seems. This race comes to an important turn in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, where he is unable to survive in the first round of the 400m sprint. First for the greed of an extra glass of milk and escaping parade, then to wear the India blazer and subsequently to have the world at his feet for running. Here, he falls for Bira, who lives in a refugee colony in Shahdara and makes up his mind to win her, and is enlisted. He moves to Delhi after Partition with his sister. The flashback of the story shows a Sikh boy growing up in Multan. Farhan Akhtar's acting could leave one rejoicing. Prasoon Joshi's script keeps a close grip on the emotion of the story.

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is the same director who gave us Rang de Basanti and comes across as the director who livens up every moment. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is the story of that same 'Flying Sikh' Milkha Singh but is bogged by detail in the first half. His friend's son asks him if he is the same Milkha who runs.

The tragedy ends in Pakistan when his friend tells him that it's not people but circumstances that are bad. Later on in the film, Milkha slips yet again at an important moment when the massacre in Pakistan forces him to turn around. The kid screams and runs to the corpses but slips on the bloodied floor. Scene 2: Some time later, the kid returns to his gutted yet wet house to find the bodies of his parents and the rest of the family. The boy's father screams, run Milkha run.

The boy is a Sikh in the newly-carved Islamic republic and his village is under attack by Pathans. By Saurabh Dwivedi: Scene 1: The sun is setting, it's raining and a boy is running in what is pictured as Pakistan.
