Leave your thoughts about Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.

| VarietyScott FoundasThe conflation of sports and politics in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag always feels strained, with Singh's story remaining most absorbing as a story of personal -- rather than national -- triumph. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaFarhan Akhtar's performance here puts his still-young acting career on equal weight with his justly celebrated one as a writer, director, and producer. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelThrilling epic true story of the Sikh who surmounted the horrors of 1947 violent partition. . .via Bollywood catchy music and dance, featuring a terrific central performance. |
| Digital SpyPriya JoshiIt is a blessing that this film was made and the inspiring story of India's greatest sporting hero told to a generation who might otherwise never have known the legend of 'The Flying Sikh.' |

| The New York TimesNicolas RapoldAlong the way the movie strikes its chosen couple of notes resoundingly, making clear what makes Singh run. |
| Time OutAnil SinananOverlong and stuffed with too many catchy but unnecessary songs, this worthy film is nevertheless indicative of a more sensible and sensitive side of Bollywood. |
| ScreenAnarchyJ HurtadoBhaag Milkha Bhaag is easily one of the best mainstream films to come out of Bollywood this year. |
| OutlookNamrata JoshiThere is a compelling biopic hidden somewhere in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, about an athlete with a traumatic childhood facing up to and conquering the ghosts of his past. But the overwritten film meanders aimlessly. |
