The narrative core of the film is the childhood trauma Milkha endures. The massacre of his family in present-day Pakistan creates a psychological scar that manifests physically. The title, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (Run, Milkha, Run), originates from the last words of his father, shouted to save his son from a mob. This line becomes the leitmotif of his life. He runs first to escape death, then to survive in refugee camps, then to steal for food, and finally, to win medals for his nation.
