The movie, which was directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, stars Farhan Akhtar, Japtej Singh, and Divya Dutta in lead roles. The film is based on the life of legendary Indian athlete Milkha Singh, who earned the nickname 'The Flying Sikh.' The movie begins in the late 1940s, with Milkha Singh as a young boy living in a small village in Punjab. After witnessing the brutalities of Partition, Milkha Singh flees to Delhi with his family. There, he grows up to become a petty thief and street urchin, until he gets caught and sent to a juvenile home.

In the juvenile home, Milkha Singh discovers his passion for running. He starts participating in local races and wins several of them. Eventually, he joins the army and becomes a soldier, where he discovers his talent for sprinting. This leads him to train for Olympic events and participate in various competitions.

The majority of the film revolves around Milkha Singh's journey to become a world-class athlete. It portrays the struggles and hardships he faces in his training and personal life. Part of the reason why he is so determined to succeed is because of the tragic events that he experienced in his childhood.

As Milkha Singh's reputation as a runner grows, he is given the opportunity to represent India in international competitions. However, he realizes that he faces tough competition from athletes of other countries. The movie shows Milkha Singh's determination and hard work in overcoming these challenges, which often comes with a price.

Throughout the film, the audience is taken on an emotional rollercoaster as they see Milkha Singh's highs and lows. The portrayal of his life story is inspirational and highlights the importance of perseverance, dedication, and hard work.

One of the film's most impressive aspects is the brilliant performance by Farhan Akhtar, who underwent intense physical training to play the role of Milkha Singh. He portrays the character with both intensity and sensitivity, infusing his own personality into the character while still doing justice to who Milkha Singh was as a person.

Overall, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys sports dramas.
