Films Like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag Must Be Encouraged

 

Films like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag do not happen commonly in Bollywood. Though Bollywood dishes out the most number of films each year compared to other regional language films, there are hardly any films that tackle the subject like this one.

In a bid to support the film, the Government of Maharashtra decided to waive the tax for the film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. The film is doing excellently all around and a tax waiver is only going to add to its popularity. The film has been made by film maker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.

More than anything else, it is the Maharashtra government that has definitely taken a very important step with tax exemption – trying to encourage athletics in the state (and the country) as a tax free film is likely to bring in more audience.

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra was optimistic about more states following the steps of Maharashtra Government and waiving the tax. And that has happened very soon. In one of the more recent developments, the film has been made tax free in Madhya Pradesh and Delhi as well. The move came, on more expected lines, after the Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit exempted the film from tax.

She is said to have taken the decision almost immediately after watching the film.

A lot of efforts went in making the film. The producers were first keen to make the film in English as well as in Hindi. However, looking at the soaring budget that would have required, they finally decided to make it in Hindi only. It is understood that the entire properties of the producers had to be sold off to fund the production of the film.

When so much has been put in the film, the results are there for everyone to see. The film is a real wonder and the character of Milkha Singh has been very realistically essayed on the big screen. Farhan Akhtar has done total justice to the film, which only he could have done.

The film is now keeping its eyes on international events and it deserves all the success at that level too. All Indians should be proud of this biopic and people like Milkha Singh on whom the film is based.
