Most biopics bore us with a cradle-to-grave timeline. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag dares to be different. It opens with Milkha’s crushing defeat at the 1960 Rome Olympics—his last and most important race.

He looks at the stadium and whispers, “ Main azaad hua ” (I became free). The victory isn’t gold—it’s healing. That’s a better, truer ending than any underdog-winning-the-big-game cliché. From there, it leaps back and forth between
