Bhaag Milkha Bhaag: Goof Ups

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag: Goof Ups

Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, is a biographical sports drama based on athelete Milkha Singh's life. While the film bagged all the major awards this year for best direction, screenplay and acting, there were many goofs which came to light soon after the movie released. As the film celebrates its first year anniversary today, let's take a look at some of the goofs in the movie.

The film is based on the life of Milkha Singh. The movie starts from 1960, when Milkha ran in the Olympics and from there the movie goes back to his childhood days during partition. The movie is basically set in the 50s. But in one scene when Milkha Singh visits Pakistan after many years, he is seen driving a Royal Enfield which is a 2012 model.

Similarly in another scene Farhan is seen trying to woo Sonam Kapoor. He sings the song 'Nanha Munha Rahi Hoon' to impress Sonam. However, what is interesting is that the film is based in the 50s while the song 'Nanha Munha' is from the movie 'Son of India' which was released in 1962. So ideally in the scene though Farhan was singing this song, it had not released then hypothetically. In many scenes we could also see mobile towers, but again the movie is set in 1960s and mobile towers were not there then.

During the climax scene where Milkha again wins the race was then known as the Lahore Stadium. But in the movie, the announcer calls it as the Qadafu stadium. However, the stadium was not named Qadafi until 1974. Similarly, in the film we saw the signal on the railway station were electronic. But going by the plot and timeline, electronic systems were discovered much later. So ideally there should not have been in electronic systems in the film.

During the race, where a heavily injured Milkha runs and still wins the race is another scene where a major goof up took place. Towards the end of the match, Milkha's dressing comes off but a closer look at his dressing reveals a clean bandage, though Milkha had been running bare foot for so long in the same bandage. In yet another scene, Milkha is released from the jail and his fingerprints are taken on a form. But the date mentioned on the form is of 2013.
5/5

The movie shows that Sonam kapoor lived in Shahdara (in New Delhi). But when Milkha used to carry water to Sonam's house he used to cross a railway station. And the name of the station was Rewari, which in reality is almost 100 kms from Shahdara. We wonder if Milkha used to walk 100 kms everyday.
When Milkha goes to meet Pandit Nehru, he is seen wearing a Velcro strip. However in reality, Velcro was sewn into clothing in the 60s.
