ravishingravi Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 "It’s an odd turn of events when a web page whose accuracy is suspect can fill you with more insight about a person than a painstakingly mounted three-hour movie. In possession of but the most generic facts about the Flying Sikh, I looked up the Wikipedia entry and found this: “As of 2013, he is the only Indian male athlete to win an individual athletics Gold in Commonwealth Games… He is married to former captain of Indian Women Volleyball team, Nirmal Kaur… Despite the lack of an Olympic medal, Milkha Singh’s achievements are hailed because of the circumstances under which he achieved them as well as the lack of infrastructure and resources in independent post-colonial India.” That, right there, is a great story... Save the winning of the medal, none of this is in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. There’s always something happening, but very little perspective on why this man’s life demanded to be made into a movie." - Bharadwaj Rangan
coffee_rules Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Why cant Indian people get over the gay song and dance bull shite ? :mad: It looks so ridiculous and unnecessary. That's the USP of Indian movies. What's wrong with song and dance? and there nothing gay about it. If it's used in narration like how Gulzar used to do it, it is really poetic and adds value to the viewing experience.

It can really disrupt the storytelling, if that's one of the intentions of the film.
