Can a single film encapsulate the spirit of a nation and the triumph of an individual against unimaginable odds? "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" achieves precisely that, etching itself into the annals of Indian cinema as more than just a biopic, but a powerful testament to resilience, hope, and the indomitable human spirit.
