Budhia Singh's story stays with you. The anguish is authentic. Which makes the film worth your time.

The best bit about the film is how it looks at these grey zones (right down to the rapaciousness of the real mother) without being judgmental.

... [circumvents] uncomfortable questions about the ethics of training a little child so rigorously for marathons, even while making a show of addressing those questions.

3.5/5

From fame to obscurity, hunger to heartbreak, Budhia's story is both sensational and sad. But, most of all, it's incomplete with no finishing line in sight.

This movie is sheer beauty in terms of direction, acting, story, music and detail. A must watch especially for those who run.
