Hawaizaada

The film is truly spectacular on the account of visuals. The production design is one of greatest in recent Hindi films. The sets, the artistic props, the designing is really commendable. With great production design, comes greatest in cinematography. Kudos to Savita Singh's cinematography brilliance that made this film looks totally a visual treat. Seriously, I have not seen such beautiful frames in recent times, without VFX. The basic concept was well thought too.

But, with all these superb things in hand, the film doesn't able to make to what it could be. The screenplay got messed up in the film's way to make it under historical event. Yeah, it could have been one of the greatest film in Hindi film industry. But, it all lacks at film's narrative part. The characters been so melodramatic about each situation makes a regular Hindi film, which it should not be.

The director looses his brilliant idea by indulging more of a melodramatic romantic recipe into it. The film paces up in between, dialogue teaches us good. But, when the flight tries to be up high, it gets lost in the romantic clouds. It sees a great potential journey suffering from jet-lag here.

It should be pure epic exploring the core idea more, yet it is somewhat inspirational.

The movie is stuck between projecting an actual historical fact and a musical. Unnecessary prolongation of the strained love story in a movie that's supposed to talk about the achievements of an Indian that supposedly were suppressed.

The movie could have had a straight forward screenplay instead of beating around the bush.

Can't believe Ayushmann signed up for this movie.

Rating

5/10

Anachronistic film based on air travel pioneer disappoints. Despite interesting plot the film is heavy going and listless. Kkhurana tries hard but doesn't leave much of an impact. Sets are interesting. The payoff is a long time coming.

Inspirational for Indians.. should be watched by young... made in a different style of fantasy and fiction.. but based on true story about the first person who made a flight machine and he happened to Indian.

Hawaizaada based on the life of Shivkar Bapuji Talpade's life is somehow below expectation.Hawaizaada is first film of Vibhu Puri.

Ayushmann Khurrana as Shiv is nice and excellent in 2nd half.Mithun Chakraborty as Shastry is fantastic.Pallavi Sharda is much better than Besharam.Story is well written but editing is awful.2nd half is not good because of so many songs and for me there is no need of them.

Love track between Shiv and Sitara made this biography boring at some point.Otherwise,its superb and very good.

Overall,if you historical or biography you can surely go for this but ignore the love track.
