Saw this film 3 times already but will definitely go again! The training montage with "Zinda" playing gives me chills every time. Such an inspiring story of our Flying Sikh. Hope today's youth watches this and learns about real struggle.

While the film is great, I wish they had shown more about Milkha Singh's later years and his contributions to Indian sports. The focus was too much on the Rome Olympics loss. Still, Farhan's dedication was next level - that physique transformation!

As someone new to India, this film helped me understand the partition trauma that shaped so many lives. Farhan Akhtar's performance was world-class. The scene where he runs back to Pakistan is etched in my memory. Will take my Indian friends to see it again!

Perfect timing for re-release! With Olympics coming up, our athletes need this kind of inspiration. Milkha Singh's story is not just about sports but about the indomitable Indian spirit. "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" should be compulsory in schools IMHO.

The music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy was phenomenal! "Maston Ka Jhund" still plays in my gym playlist. This re-release is a beautiful tribute to Milkha Singh ji who left us last year. More biopics like this please, less masala films!
