The last part of the film is on his becoming a successful athlete (sprinter) after overcoming lots of physical hardships. Milkha Singh accepts the challenge and joins Army in his third attempt. But his girl friend would marry him only when he abandons his ruffian way of life and become a responsible man. He also falls in love with Biroo (Sonam Kapoor). In the second part, his grows into a teenager when he indulges in petty crime.
As a boy, he spends his childhood in Refugee camp in Delhi. In the first stage, he migrates to India as a 12-year orphaned boy from his village in Pakistan who has lost his parents, a brother and sister during partition. The film has depicted the life story of Milkha Singh broadly reflecting three stages of his life from 1947 to 1962. I regretted for not having watched the film on a multiplex screen when it was released This is one of few films which I had watched on small screen in one go. Recently, I watched the film on Hotstar and liked it. I missed watching ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ (2013) when it was released in July 2013 despite a high recommendation from my son. I actually lived the life of an athlete I wasn’t just pretending to be one.įarhan Akhtar also took Urdu lessons from his father, Javed Akhtar and Punjabi lessons from Gulzar to improve his diction.
So I was under training for more than a year and a half. I went through a tremendous amount of training for nearly seven and a half months before we started shooting, and then again for the entire duration of shooting, which lasted about 10 or 11 months. Farhan Akhtar who did the role of Milkha Singh in ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ (2013) had revealed during an interview: Most of the top actors will not have time to spend for training schedules. The actor needs to devote a considerable time to come into the physique and the mannerism requires for the character he plays in the biopic. Lastly, finding a right type of actor to do the role of the sports biopic character is difficult. Finding a financier/distributor for the sports biopic film is equally difficult as this was an emerging genre of the film at the time of making the film. True life stories required a lot of research. Unlike other genres of films, producing biopics, that too the sports biopic films are time consuming process as experienced by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, the producer-director of the film. The film was a box office success to the extent that it logged about Rs,165 crore as global earnings as against the total cost of about Rs.30 crore in producing the film.
The screen-play, dialogues and songs were written by Prasoon Joshi. The film was directed by Rakeysh Ompradkash Mehra with Farhan Akhtar as Milkha Singh – the Flying Sikh who was the first Indian sprinter to win gold medals in Asian and Commonwealth games. ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ (2013) was a trend-setter in Hindi films in propagating sports biopic as a genre of film. They include films on Dhayan Chand (Hockey), Saina Nehwal (Badminton), P V Sindhu (Badminton), Abhinav Bindra (Shooting) etc. Some more sports biopic films have been in the pipelines for a long time. During the last 5 years, sports biopic such as ‘Mary Kom’ (2014), ‘Dangal’ (2016), ‘Azhar’ (2016), ‘Budhia Singh – Born to Run’ (2016), ‘M S Dhoni – The Untold Story (2017) and ‘Soorma’ (2018) were released. However, the box office successes of ‘Paan Singh Tomar (2012) and ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ (2013) have created a trend in Bollywood to produce sports biopic films on a regular basis. Producing a sport biopic film is like venturing into an uncharted water. Sports biopic is a rare genre for Hindi film industry until recently.
