Azaad

Tone, Script & Story: The story is set in 90's India. It's a story of a horse named Azaad. He belongs to Baaghi played by Ajay. Anyone who sees this horse falls in love with him at first instance and wants to own him. Guy played by Aman is no different. Further it's the story if Aman will win.

Being an animal lover I liked the concept where the story revolved around horse, but the problem is it fails to connect emotionally

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The mukhiyas, the angrej, the caretaker of horses, their families, the Baaghis, etc have been captured well. Despite that, who is to blame for no connection with audience? Music is below average. Acting is justified.

Final Verdict: You will like it if you are animal lover, else it's an outdated drama.

I almost didn't watch this movie because of the poor rating. But, my wife and I wanted to see how the newcomers performed. Was waiting for a dull moment because of the rating but the movie finished and we couldn't find any. We both are animal lovers and we loved how the film was centered around azaad. We could predict certain things in the movie but that's okay. It didn't have surprising twists and plots that will keep you on edge but the story itself is nice and will keep you occupied. The direction was good and the VFX was decent too. Both Aaman and Rasha performed really well. Overall, the movie is a decent watch.

In the Bollywood era of films with zero meaning and reoccurring plot, this movie gives hope to the og lovers of Bollywood. It shows the potential that upon trying harder the Indian industry of movies can produce something original and meaningful.

Though there were several areas like where improvements can be made. The horse riders and britisher roles lacked acting skills. The story build up could have been better with more research.

The MC did an amazing work with acting and character development. The role of female MC was short yet powerful.

It was refreshing to not see the typical love story between a man and a woman but a story of loyalty and between a man and a horse.

I had low hopes for this movie since it flopped in cinemas and the reviews aren't great but I was pleasantly surprised!

I like the fact the movie was about the horse "Azaad" it feels like a fresh storyline. I think movie was good, didn't feel like it was unnecessarily dragged anywhere.

Now coming to the acting I was honestly impressed by Amaan Devgan's performance considering it's his debut and I had no expectations from him since he seemed rather expressionless in the "Uyi Amma" song. He gave a solid performance whereas Rasha Thadani seemed like she really tried bless her but her crying scenes were a bit forced. Overall acting was good from both debutants.

I'll give it 8/10, good watch. :)

While Azaad stems from an interesting idea, it falters in its execution. A gripping script is the backbone of any engaging film, and unfortunately, this one misses the mark. The narrative lacks consistency, with a sluggish first half and half-baked characters failing to build a strong emotional connection. Despite the slow pacing, the finale is impactful and provides a brief glimpse of what the film could have achieved with better writing.

Director #AbhishekKapoor, known for his storytelling finesse, does his best with the material at hand.

Standout moments include #AjayDevgn's intensity, #AamanDevgan's sincere performance, #RashaThadani's confident debut, and the bonding between #Azaad and the horse. However, the dull screenwriting, underwhelming music (except for #UyiAmma), and lack of a strong romantic track weigh the film down.
