The movie is written and directed by <strong>Soumendra Padhi.<\/strong> It features <strong>Mayur Patole<\/strong> in the title character of Budhia Singh along with <strong>Manoj Bajpayee<\/strong> as his coach Biranchi Das. Other cast members include names like <strong>Tilotama Shome,<\/strong> <strong>Shruti Marathe,<\/strong> <strong>Gajraj Rao<\/strong> and others. The movie was originally titled <strong>Duronto<\/strong> and also is certified with this name.<\/p>\n<h2>Plot<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Budhia Singh<\/strong> is a boy from slums of Puri, <strong>Odisha.<\/strong> A <strong>Judo Instructor,<\/strong> <strong>Biranchi Das<\/strong>(Manoj) who also indulges in social works, arranges a job for his unemployed mother and takes him home where <strong>22 more kids<\/strong> live and learn Judo. There, Biranji finds out that Budhia has <strong>extraordinary stamina<\/strong> and <strong>ability to run unstopped<\/strong> for long hours. Biranchi decides to nurture this talent and starts preparing him as <strong>India&#8217;s first professional marathon racer<\/strong> and aims at <strong>2016 Olympic\u00a0<\/strong>medal through him. However, not everyone takes this positively. Amongst minor jealousy and complaints of partiality by the students of Biranchi&#8217;s institute and his own wife, there are other social and political factors which project Biranchi\u00a0as an <strong>exploiter.<\/strong> Meanwhile, Biranchi is set to make Budhia run from <strong>Puri to Bhubaneswar<\/strong>\u00a0in temperatures up to\u00a047 degrees in summer of May.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the trailer of Budhia Singh Born To Run here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset videofit\"><iframe title=\"Budhia Singh - Born To Run | Official Trailer\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YGft9XiX4bs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Story, Screenplay, and Direction<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>story<\/strong> of Budhia Singh &#8211; Born To Run is <strong>carefully crafted<\/strong> around <strong>real events.<\/strong> It has ups and downs at <strong>right spots.<\/strong> The<strong> screenplay is crisp<\/strong> and at no point in the movie, you find it boring. The <strong>characters<\/strong> are built with <strong>layers and depth.<\/strong> The rebel coach Biranchi, his reluctantly supportive wife, and even the character of 5-year-old Budhia is extraordinarily written. The dialogues are <strong>realistic<\/strong> and <strong>grounded.<\/strong> Overall, a <strong>big positive<\/strong> for the movie.<\/p>\n<h2>Performances<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Manoj Bajpayee<\/strong> has already cemented his image as a no-nonsense actor, and this movie further builds on that image. His portrayal of Biranchi Das is true to the director&#8217;s imagination. He makes the story <strong>instantly appealing<\/strong> and his <strong>chemistry<\/strong> with Mayur is <strong>commendable.<\/strong> The kid puts out what is probably the <strong>best child performance of the year<\/strong> so far. <strong>Tilotama<\/strong> as Budhia&#8217;s mother plays out a <strong>vulnerable<\/strong> character with <strong>full dedication.<\/strong> And <strong>Shruti Marathe<\/strong> delivers a <strong>subtle<\/strong> performance as Biranchi&#8217;s wife, a performance which might easily be <strong>underrated.<\/strong> Rest of the cast also puts the right feet forward.<\/p>\n<h2>Music<\/h2>\n<p>The music of Budhia Singh &#8211; Born To Run is <strong>forgettable.<\/strong> Only the theme is catchy and no other song makes any impact.\u00a0Given the soul and effort in other departments of the movie, a <strong>better musical<\/strong> input would have <strong>worked wonders.<\/strong> It is a <strong>minus<\/strong> for the movie.<\/p>\n<h2>Direction<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>debutant<\/strong> director, <strong>Soumendra Padhi<\/strong> has woven a brilliant ride of emotions. The movie slowly builds up and <strong>never slows down.<\/strong> He successfully <strong>extracted brilliant performances<\/strong> from practically the whole cast and His <strong>control<\/strong> over the movie is evident in each frame of the movie. A <strong>big positive.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Budhia Singh and Biranchi Das are sure to <strong>touch your heart.<\/strong> This is probably the <strong>best chemistry<\/strong> of an actor and a child onscreen this year. There are lots of <strong>moments worth watching<\/strong> and I hate to admit but this movie <strong>made me cry<\/strong> a little. Definite <strong>must watch<\/strong> at least once. Get your shoes, tie the laces and run a sprint towards the box office. Watch this movie today.<\/p>\n<p>[wp-review id=&#8221;813&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you watch the movie?
