Azaad film evaluate: The upper-class lady likes the lower-class boy, sparks fly. An sudden problem comes up, and he’s required to win. No I’m not speaking about Lagaan or Dhadak or a random Hindi movie within the 1980s and 90s… I’m speaking about Azaad, a movie releasing in 2025, the launch car of Rasha Thadani, daughter of actor Raveena Tandon and Anil Thadani, and Aaman Devgan, Ajay Devgn’s nephew. (Additionally learn: Azaad trailer: Ajay Devgn, Aaman Devgan and Rasha Thadani get caught in mishmash story of a horse)
What’s Azaad about
It begins off with Govind’s (Aaman) fascination with dacoit Vikram Singh’s (Ajay Devgn) black horse Azaad, who doesn’t care about something besides it’s proprietor. Govind locks horns with Janaki (Rasha), daughter of landlord Rai Bahadur (Piyush Mishra). A parallel observe revolves round Tej Bahadur (Mohit Malik), brother of Janaki, and Kesar (Diana Penty) How all their lives converge varieties the remainder of the story, set in pre-Independence India.
As you watch Azaad, it feels so self-indulgent- the songs, the tempo. It’s like director Abhishek Kapoor (who prior to now has given Sara Ali Khan a terrific debut with Kedarnath), began rolling the digital camera, and forgot to say ‘reduce’. This movie is simply not in a rush to maneuver the story ahead. I aged a bit by the point it ended.
Three individuals are accountable for the story here- Ritesh Shah, Suresh Nair and Kapoor himself. Three folks got here up with… this? And Chandan Arora, the editor- what did you edit?
Azaad, the horse, steals the present
In the midst of this saga, the horse himself tugs at your heartstrings. Some fairly good on-screen work has been drawn out of him, and will I dare say he steals the present and not using a single dialogue. Now that’s a great actor! Kapoor’s movie shines in sure sequences involving Azaad, however they’re far and few.
Aaman Devgan and Rasha Thadani’s debut
On to the debutants’ report card: each are uncooked, and it reveals. There’s a whole lot of work left, however the two handle to depart a mark. Rasha, all of 19, has good presence on display screen however must work on her emotional scenes. Aaman too has obtained the cling of dance and motion, however he might do with some performing apply.
Mohit Malik, already identified on tv, is being launched with Azaad in movies, and he suits the invoice. Diana Penty’s observe is half-baked. And Ajay Devgn appears like he shot for his parts in SS Rajamouli’s RRR and Azaad on the identical time. Hoping this isn’t one other movie universe within the making.
I had huge expectations for the music as a result of it’s Amit Trivedi. However other than Uui Amma, which has gone viral and been met with polarising reactions, the music doesn’t work. It falls flat, and that’s unhappy.
Total, Azaad has nothing new to supply besides two new actors. Other than the unfastened, sluggish screenplay, the story is riddled with cliches. A movie on a horse must have had pace.
