I don't know if there was good PR at work at the time of launch. But the movie felt terrible from the start to finish. It's just over dramatised (read 'bollywood masala'), bad acting and terrible scenes.

Yeah Farhan must have gone through a gruelling training to seem like Milkha Singh (and so I'll give it 2 stars instead of 1) but that's besides the point!! To start with there has to be a decent copywriting and direction and all other finer elements of story telling to come together to make up a watchable movie.

I grew up around some sports people and god they just hated it. I dunno if Milkha Singh actually was part of the film-making, but it just seems such a bad attempt at capturing his biography.
