Plus Points: First and foremost it’s Farhan Akhtar and his body. He carried this role with ease and he was major plus point for the movie. Music by Shaankar Ehsaan Loy was apt and makes the movie feel good. Excellent background score which carries your emotions with the movie. Screenply was so tight and interesting which takes you to past and present all through the movie and keeps the viewers from not getting bore. Locations for the movie also work wonder. Acting by Divya Dutta who played Milkha sister charcter was so emotional and touches the sentiment side of viewers. Prakash Raj was good in Army trainers in Secunderabad with his funny Hindi ascent.

Minus Points: Sonaam Kapoor was big let down for movie as she hardly has any role. Pace of the movie is slow and can easily chop few scenes and make the movie crispier. Duration of the movie is 3 hours and can reduce a bit so that viewers will not get bored at stance.

Verdict: Watch it to know about True Legend. Not a regular movie which will not have romance, entertainment and love track. It’s a true story and brings nothing new to audiences. It is a visual treat for all fans of Milkha Singh across the world which shows his struggling days and achievements overally. Also can be watched out for Farhan Akhtar acting and his struggle to bring this movie.
