Few critics, few including Rediff ones whom I explore for some good writing, have rated low to BMB. the rationale they furnish is that movie lacks coherence and clarity. Really? i believe they ought to only rate Hollywood movies because whoever thinks this movie isn't any good doesn't know what Hindi cinema is. Farhan has done an awesome job, and if I say awesome then it's not for his physique and dialogue delivery except for the transformation, he has gone to become Milkha Singh. We as an audience witness the physical stress and labor that an athlete as likes of Milkha Singh undergo to become a 'flying Sikh'. Hindi cinema celebrates the lifetime of this living legend with songs and drama and music. Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra has done a good job, still; I fell he could have done plenty better especially within the scenes of Milkha's childhood memories. His attempt of giving the movie an epic convention seriously affected the narrative portion. However, all this could be sided by the grandeur of Farhan's effort. i'd wish to mention a press release of 1 of the rediff users who wrote against critics who are undermining the effect of this movie: "note that 400mtrs could be a very difficult race to run. it's at the border of quick races and long jogs. after partition India didn't have either the experience nor the infra to provide runners for 400mtrs. So Milkha was a real champion in every sense. If critics pull films like these down for abstract reasons ? we will forever have 20 goons flying within the air with one punch from one man. grow old critics."
