Entertainment Naseeruddin Shah as Bollywood's most blistering polemicist: Hate him, love him, you can't ignore him.Business Indices open at record highs, Sensex surges past 60,000 for the first time.Narendra Modi in US: In meeting with V-P Kamala Harris, PM says US and India 'natural partners'.As it has turned out, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is more the overlong,overblown Singing-Dancing-Flying Sikh,than just the triumphal,true Flying Sikh. If the film had kept it pared,toning down the trumpets which blare every time something momentous is about to happen,it would have been a more powerful testament to an all-time sporting great. It is meant to be sweet,that little interlude,but you can see it for what it is,playacting. KapoorВ’s presence,as the love angle,is mercifully brief. Dutta,too,as the loving badi behen leaves a mark. So is Prakash Raj as the stentorian,if a tad stereotypical,Army senior. But the moment you place him alongside a Pawan Malhotra,who plays his Army coach,and who speaks Punjabi just the way it ought to be spoken,guttural,from the heart,that you know that difference between acting a part and the real deal.ДЄs the Indian athletics coach who accompanies Milkha in his latter journeys,Yograj Singh is effective. You can see AkhtarВ’s hard work,both on his physique,and the way he runs on the track and field and everywhere else,as well as his accent. He does everything he needs to: the liking for duddh (milk) that gets him to start the back-breaking training,his early attraction to a pretty Punjaban (Kapoor),the little flirtations he indulges in (one with a saucy Aussie girl in Melbourne),and then straining every sinew for a win. Farhan Akhtar is consistently likeable but not always believable as the eponymous hero. In short order, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag starts getting overlaid by too much drama and mawkishness. It is a strong segment,with Art Malik,playing MilkhaВ’s father,and who exhorts him to В‘runВ’,to flee to the other side of the newly formed,bloody border. His strong love for older sister (Dutta) which keeps him going in adulthood. His being made to be a murga in the tiny village school,and colloquial talk of his thui ( backside,reddening at the touch of a masterВ’s chhadi/stick). Little Milkha and his plump friend,wading through a river,tossing a few lines between them as friends are wont to. And most of them belong to MilkhaВ’s childhood. When the film is left to tell the story unvarnished,it has several felt passages. Is there any need to underline it,just in case we miss the point,with loud background music? Why,you ask yourself,when you see a burst of sporting glory,the kind that becomes goose-flesh immortal every time someone refers to it even,does the director need to dress up his story so much that it nearly drowns? The face of a winner,at the end of a tough race,is such a win in itself. ItВ’s almost as if he needs to talk up his film in order to entice us to watch it. For himself,and for the honour of his nation.Д«ut the way the director tells it is much less inspiring. And Mehra leaves,literally,not one stone unturned (and adds a few of his own,doubtless) in this three hour and some saga,which takes us from MilkhaВ’s childhood in then Punjab-now Pakistan,the trauma of Partition and being torn from his (MilkhaВ’s) family,his lawless youth,his joining the Indian Army and gaining respectability. The story of Milkha Singh is inspirational,doubtless.
