Main Azaad Hoon

As Azad, Amit ji sends a beautiful message and the way he organizes the movements are well defined. In the movie, Amitabh towards the end doesn't go for a revenge style of movie. He doesn't justify or blame any thing in his last message. This makes movie different from the other masaala movie. He works for a cause.

A meaning full movie, good dialog and above all great acting by Amitabh. Film industry require more such movie. Film has got just one song which is quite meaning full. in the role of Azad, Amit ji has done justice to the role. He was excellent in the way he played the role of a stranger and in the costume of powerful personality called Azad.

First a big congratulations applaud To the cast and crew to create this magic on screen and making it a masterpiece. It surely deserved the matured and prudent audience which lacked the understanding during its release time. Today it would have been appreciated more. Nevertheless we expect to have sequel or similar movie with Mr. Bacchan recreating such magic. Applauds to Tinu ANAND, have akhtar and rest of the The crew. Great song.... I still remember I watched this movie twice in theatre.

Main azaad Hoon is one of best Indian movies i have ever watched. I do not think any movie with a hypothetical plot could touch the human feelings more than this. It is not an Indian masala movie at all rather it is targeted to the oppressed and suppressed poor class of people to teach the lesson that the common people should become conscious about anything happening in the society and get united to eradicate the bad elements . The film ends with a message of sacrifice along with the motivation for revolt through true consciousness. The acting of Amitabh Bacchan is lively and that of Sabana Azmi too is praiseworthy. Rest of the characters are not that significant. The role played by Annu Kapoor is a short but sweet.

Main Azaad Hoon review :

A fake news article escalates to unprecedented level and compels a media house to actually create a character called Azaad (Amitabh Bachchan) who vows to stand against the corrupt system. In this age of increasing false propaganda and media trials, Main Azaad Hoon is much relevant. It is also Amitabh Bachchan's most underrated performance till date.

Shabana Azmi plays the news reporter who creates the fake character Azaad and is encouraged by her cunning employer and head honcho Manohar Singh to create a sensation for his own hidden political agenda. Amitabh is just a pawn in the vicious game but turns out to be a tough nut to crack..

"Itne baazu itne sarr Gin le dushman dhyaan se Haarega woh har baazi Jab khele hum jee jaan se. Aao aajao Jag pe chaa jao"

Sung by Amitabh Bachchan himself, the above song is ever memorable in a film which sadly failed to enthuse the audience in 1989.

Reportedly, director Tinnu Anand had initially thought of a limited release in selected premium theatres only. However, that was not to be and Main Azaad Hoon released near Christmas 1989 at the Super cinema, Grant Road and other aam janta theatres all over. The audience could not accept Bachchan in such an offbeat role and the movie proved to be a box office disaster.

With a still relevant subject and an excellent performance from Bachchan, Main Azaad Hoon is highly recommended to all, especially his fans.

Well, first, I enjoyed this film - I liked the realistic portrayal of the modern-day urban India of the 1980s, I immensely liked the background score, the cinematography, the dialogues. But I totally HATED the unrealistic concept of an entire nation going crazy about one simple man without a completely justified reason and considering him their God. What I found even more laughable is that when he wants to go, they sing a song for him. It was so clichéd that I lost any interest in the film. I don't get why good stories must go to unnecessary edges. The entire story revolves around this admiration. Anyway, Amitabh in one of his better performances of the 1980s, is great, and Shabana Azmi, who is beautiful and as always natural, provides great support. Go for it if you like - I see why the film is widely appreciated, but I frankly don't find it underrated as many people here say.
