An enthralling race against all odds!
This is not a movie review
Call it a coincidence or a well planned date for the movie release, budhia singh , born to run, is a flick to watch at a time when more than 1.2 billion Indian people are desperately waiting for our Athletes to do a podium finish in the ongoing Rio Olympics.
This movie unravels the harsh reality of mistreatment of indian sports heroes in our country by the bureaucrats and the reason why despite of having a mammoth population of over 1 billion and has been actively taking part in the Olympics since 1900 why we have mere 9 gold medals as against 196 medals by USA with a population of just around 300 million citizens.
As long as the reins of running the sports associations are in the hands of pot bellied bureaucrats we can't change the current scenario in the country on the contrary it will get even worse who will take pride only in inflating bills and increasing their bank balances as the damage done by suresh kalmadi ,the erstwhile Indian Olympic head in the common wealth games quantitatively and qualitatively.
If you want medals along with nurturing athletes Let our Retired champions Manage the sports affairs in the country then only we can expect our athletes to do well at the gigantic sports events like olympics.
how many parents would want their children to pursue career in sports after seeing the plight of the former medallists who are selling Golgappas on streets in delhi or even selling their own medals which they have won by toiling hard to to make their ends meet.
It's like you are telling our champions there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and after attaining the glory for our country they realise that a rainbow is nothing more than a trick of light.
