DrMunish Insan A biographic movie based on famous cricketer azruddin is it ? Don't know but really here i would like to tell is that loved this movie because of emraan hashmi's acting which really suits to him. This is really one among the best acting of emraan's film. No doubt Lara dutta is best to her act but in spite of her there is a new energy to the film because of azhar. This movie is full of entertainment and the suspense is been till the climax of the movie so i think it might be a big reason why one is not feeling any bore kind of feeling throughout the movie. If one is not at all fan of hashmi but must watch this movie because i think it has been a very interesting biography of a former sports person of India and who knows may be one's thinking got completely change after watching the movie may be towards BCCI or towards Azruddin. Overall one must go for the movie OK not for wright or wrong but can go for entertainment at least.
waheed_zuhair Azhar- Good one time watch. This is how biographies are made. Direction is good. Plot is pretty weak and boring sometimes I watched this movie with my elder brother. He did not like it as there was no surprising element for him. As he already knew his story. This story is must watch for youngsters like me Who doesn't know who exactly Azhar was. Performance- Emraan was good.Decently played by him Bani was awesome. She is perfect for such kind of roles Nargis- she obviously can't act. Lara Dutta- she is neither beautiful nor a good actor. Gautam- waste actor. Wasted a good chance. Absolutely rubbish. Overacted in every scene. Overall good biography. One time watch. This movie did not get credit which it deserved.
zaildarkaka On the poster of movie, under the shadow of movie tittle "AZHAR" it's written that "Love him, Hate him, Judge him, so purely on-wards 13 May it judgment day for Indian. It's a biopic of Mohammad Azharuddin written and directed by Rajat Arora Tony D'Souza respectively. Emraan Hashmi is reel life Mohammad Azharuddin. Lara Dutta,Prachi Desai, Nargis Fakhri, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Gautam Gulati, Manjot Singh, Karanvir Sharma Rajesh Sharma, Hemant Choudhary, Varun Badola, Kulbhushan Kharbanda are in supporting role. I can't stop myself without praising Nargis Fakhri, she looks dam hot in his role an Lara Dutta hide her age. Coming to Movie, Moving starts with Azhar playing 99th test match, getting ready for next tour as his dream is coming true to play 100 test where BCCI says him that he is suspected linked with bookie and they put LIFE BAN, to which he challenged to court with help of his lawyer friend. A flash bank starts where all his up and down of life are shown like marriage and diverse meeting with his girlfriend, 3 consecutive centuries in his first 3 test innings and many more incident s of his real life. At end Life ban of AZHAR is took back and his record is cleared which leads to happy ending. Overall:- If you are Emraan Hashmi fan you watch because his acting was of dam high class, he brilliantly copied real life Mohammad Azharuddin, walking style, clothing style, everything .Story of movie holds you back to seats and keeps you guessing. Direction of movie is also Good but personally I am not satisfied by VFX effects. Dialogues of movie are superb and many epic reply to one another. Personally speaking AZHAR is a superlative watching experience. You shouldn't miss it for anything!! Rush to near cinema halls….
namashi_1 Before Emraan Hashmi begins to portray Azhar, A Disclaimer shows up, saying: The following film is NOT a Biopic on the sport legend, but a rather adaptation on the much-talked personality. So, 'Azhar' is not a biopic, even though it covers almost all highlights of Azhar.What works, despite that rather underwhelming disclaimer, is the fairly engaging narrative, held nicely by Director Tony D'Souza & Lead-Actor Emraan Hashmi, who bring merit & some sincerity in the goings-on. Though far from perfect, 'Azhar' is a decently made film, that certainly isn't anywhere close to being bad.'Azhar' is Based on the life of Indian cricketer and former national team captain Mohammad Azharuddin. Right from his triumphant success, to his controversial professional & personal life. 'Azhar' is interesting in parts. Watching Azhar romance between his two wives, as well as take on captaincy in the Indian Team, offer some genuinely arresting sequences. His triumph does leave a mark. However, when Azhar is dragged to court for "match-fixing", the courtroom sequences that follow, are plain ordinary. The courtroom sequences lack fire. Had these sequences been better, 'Azhar' would've been a far superior adaptation.Rajat Aroraa's Screenplay is quite decent, but why is the drama in the courtroom so lazily written? The Writing needed to be stronger, no two options on that! Even the dialogue, range from massy to entirely ridiculous. Tony D'Souza's Direction is well-done. He has handled the film competently. Cinematography is good. Editing is mostly crisp, but the second-hour could've been sharper. Music by Various Artists, is excellent. Background Score merits a special mention.Performance-Wise: Emraan Hashmi as Mohammad Azharuddin/Azhar, is at his most sincere. The actor is in form, delivering a credible performance as the legendary sportsman. This is among Hashmi's better works, without doubt! Prachi Desai as Naureen, the first wife of Azharuddin, is excellent. Nargis Fakhri as yesteryear actress Sangeeta Bijlani, the second wife of Azharuddin, looks hot as ever, but falls flat acting wise. Lara Dutta as Meera, who fights against Azhar in court, is strictly okay. Kunaal Roy Kapur as Reddy, who defends Azhar, adapts a south Indian accent so fake, that he turns him into a caricature. Rajesh Sharma as M.K. Sharma, a slimy match fixer, is top-notch, as always. Others lend fair support.On the whole, 'Azhar' isn't power packed, but its certainly watchable & also well-done in parts.
