Haddi

While it's great to see trans representation in Indian cinema, grotesquely violent as it may be, this film didn't quite do it for me. I'm not quite sure that Nawazuddin's superlative acting chops saved the film from its own convoluted ensnarement. I didn't quite get the mystery that shrouded the business that Haddi, our protagonist is a master of. The revelation of the mysterious business adding nothing to the plot except more gore and violence to the already blood-dripping entree that we as the audience is served. As well, Haddi's collaboration with the trans community of Delhi, who help him with their vengeance mission is also lacking. There are no scenes that show them bonding, we get no sense that relationships were built, sympathies were exchanged and a community that's so often oppressed rose to the occasion to take down the notorious and self-serving politicians. All in all, as a typical action-drama, I'd probably rate it higher (6) but in so far as storytelling goes, it fell short.

This film marked Akshat Ajay Sharma's directorial debut and while it was his first foray into filmmaking, it seemed that his confusion during the process mirrored the audience's experience. Both the director and the audience remains in a complete state of confusion during the good half of the movie. The movie commences in a disjointed manner, with scenes lacking coherence, often overlapping haphazardly. As the film reaches its midpoint, a flashback is introduced (although it remains baffling why filmmakers persist in using this tired method to reveal motives halfway through) and at that point, the narrative begins to make some semblance of sense. However, due to the lack of continuity throughout the film, despite the potential in the story and plot, the execution falls badly and a complete noose dive.

Regarding Nawazuddin, my advice would be to reconsider acting solely for the sake of friendship and instead thoroughly review scripts before committing to future projects.

The makers have titled the movie haadi (bone) but the movie is totally bone less

The content is about revenge of a transgender whose entire world was destroyed by a politician for a land cause the execution was dull thus making the movie uninteresting and heavy on mind due to lot of violence.

Anurag was shockingly good Nawaz was little more and loud than required

Bad luck for this movie is taali series on transgender was already released though the content was different but people compare them.

I watched only for nawaz and apologise for bad review as I expected a lot and will keep expecting from the team to deliver a better quality product.

Must watch , Nawaz is superb , script is different, all characters are having great convincing.

Ila Arun looking so graceful but her role is less although strong , but I wished to see her more.

Mohini and Irwan went so well that we got into it , Harika love story n revenge for gharana , all great All emotions are handled beautifully..

Female in male portrayed well , big applause for producer n director , songs are also suiting n beautiful Mentioning of Ramayana in end also showing n giving respect to 3rd gender Without glamour , without heroine , movie is perfect 10/10 for Nawaz. And 10/10 for songs Script n action 8/10 Take some time n watch it .

I wish to appreciate Nawazuddin Siddiqui for his amazing performance. The movie shows its characterisation, plot, action in a very subtle way. You'll definitely love and praise the character of Arika in this movie. Also, you'll love Nawajuddin in action. His dialogue is impressive: "Main Nahin Marta".

Each and every character from the movie has performed very well and hence deserves our appreciation. This movie shows the life of 3rd gender and the way the society devalues it. The song Beparwa is also very good and suits all the takes throughout the movie. Nawajuddin's acting performance in all forms is impressive and praiseworthy.
