Bhag Milkha Bhag

I was so excited to see this movie after getting such good reviews, but it turned out to be short of my expectations. I thought the movie was based on a real story and it would have that sense of respect and responsibility in representing a person. However, the commercialization of script has ruined the charm. I didn't enjoy the romance part really and it wasn't worth to put this much footage on a broken romance. Yes, it did create a soft spot for Milkha, but I guess any athlete would rather be known for his achievements than his bleeding heart.

What I loved and appreciated in movie really was Farhan Akhtar. He has played his part so well that it is like a tribute to real character. The struggle, the fire, the disappointment, the innocence, the determination... He has played every emotion with perfection. I simply loved him in movie. The part showing Indo-Pak division and tragedy is also very touching. I am sure the real scene was much more horrific than the movie, but they have succeeded in creating the effect.

On the whole I would say it was good movie, Farhan takes most of the credit for it though, coz I cant really remember anyone else in the movie. It was an interesting story of a Legend, and I am glad someone did justice in playing the role. 

RabindraNath Tagore, a name very famous in intellectual world as one of the best poets of his time. His poetry is like a sweet lullaby, beauty caught in words. However, I saw his paintings, and really it was a bit disappointment. I know I am not qualified to judge a big personality, I am just expressing my feelings. I always thought paining to be an art which can show beauty in ugliest of the things. It has a charm, in smooth flow of one color to another, a rhythm in change of shades, sometimes light playing tricks with colors, its just mesmerizing. But I didn't get the feeling when I saw Tagore's paintings in an exhibition. I felt it had a kind of raw edge in it which is completely absent in his poetry. It makes me feel that may be there was a part of him which was a bit raw, kind of angular, sharp, and difficult. May be one day I'll be able to read his whole work in poetry and understand more about him, his deep thoughts flowing from one to another, changing shades with every word, and making him immortal in his poems.
