Budhia Singh: Born to Run

Great performance by the kid Mayur. And by Manoj as always.

Extraordinary in every sense, a must watch super biopic of a 5 year old boy ,world's youngest marathon runner. Superbly narrative and directed story by ‪#‎SoumendraPadhi‬ ....Lastly cheap politics ruin the career of a wonder boy to No one ‪#‎BudhiaSinghBornToRun‬ It is neither average Bollywood fare nor is it just another sports- themed potboiler designed to magnify the heroics of an achiever.

It does no superfluous huffing and puffing. It instead probes the multiple social and emotional strands, and the dramatic highs and treacherous lows, linked to the incredible true story of Budhia Singh.

By age five, the Odisha boy had run nearly 50 marathons under the tutelage of an obsessive coach Biranchi Das.

Storytelling-9/10 Screenplay-10/10 Based on true event-yes Over Dramatization-No Factual-yes Inspiring-Yes Social message-Yes Originality-9/10 Climax-Unpredictable even though its based on true story.I would recommend people from all society to watch this movie.After a long time Bollywood has come up with a movie which is not only based on true events but also factual without taking any sides.Kudos to the director and production house who have done a tremendous job of getting the right cast for the movie who looks all real for a time.Manoj bajpayee has done a tremendous job.The kid is superb in running shots.

Rarely, we stay back and see the end titles of a movie. Budhia Singh, makes you stay, till the very last title is shown. The true story of a 5 year old marathon runner, who went in to history and record books, by running a 65 km marathon in Orissa - inspires and connects us, to the very real world of Budhia. Here nothing is perfect. A mother who sells him off, a coach who is strict and singly focussed on making him a marathon runner, a media that swings from his side to the other, a government that is vehemently opposed to his running, imposes a ban even. A very real world. What does Budhia do. He runs. No complications stop him or affect him. Mayur is brilliant in portraying that simplicity of Budhia the child. Manoj bajpayee as his stubborn coach is just superb. Inspiring true story, excellently told and acted. Must-watch.

The movie is a great example of a movie with all the elements done right. It's a real story, heartbreaking, bold and inspirational. The entire team did a great work to make it a beautiful and hard watch. The two lead characters Bajhpayee stole the show along with the kid. Another good thing about the movie is it's raw, real and straightforward storytelling, keeping the supporting elements intact and also focusing the main idea of the movie. The movie did not try to glorify the characters, just put them the way it should be. It's a must watch movie. Highly recommended
