Saw BMB yesterday..
Som...My Review of the movie:<br />Saw BMB yesterday.. <br /><br /><br />Some good things about the movie:<br /><br />1) Farhan Akhtar, Farhan Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar.. He was brilliant not just with the physical transformation but the way in which he immersed himself in the character. Apart from the few slip up in accents here and there, it was hard to figure out that this man was a urban boy.<br /><br />2) The training scenes and the races: Stunning visuals and clearly the effort gone into Milkha's training is highlighted beautifully. Except for few Slo-Mo race sequences like bandages falling off and defeating the pakistani athlete, the races are shot quite earnestly.<br /><br />Now for the things that didnt work for me:<br /><br />1) I grew nails and a beard during the movie. It was that long.. meandering to sometimes irrelevant parts of Milkha's life (watch out for a Ghee eating scene). The movie could have been far more cohesive and well-edited.<br /><br />2) Using melodrama to justify Milkhas losses in Rome and Melbourne Olympics.. (partition flashback and having fun with a chick respectively)<br /><br />3) The partition scenes are stretched throughout the movie beyond a certain point, when you stop empathizing for the protagonist.<br /><br />Overall, the movie disappoints trying to juggle between being a realistic biopic at times, and a melodramatic commercial movie. <br /><br />2.5/5<br />Nitinhttp://fraudmallu.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31075923.post-2819547417744734542013-07-12T20:27:23.421+05:302013-07-12T20:27:23.421+05:30Rahul - you forgot Manmohan Singh ?
