'Azhar' is Based on the life of Indian cricketer and former national team captain Mohammad Azharuddin. Though far from perfect, 'Azhar' is a decently made film, that certainly isn't anywhere close to being bad. 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. So, 'Azhar' is not a biopic, even though it covers almost all highlights of Azhar. Reviewed by namashi_1 6 / 10 A Decent Watch!īefore 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. The trailer was good, promised a lot, but hugely disappointed. I wonder whether this really is the justification that Azharuddin gives for his deed?! Baffling to say the least! I was like "Erm, what?!" after watching it. I mean, if Azhar indeed took only to prevent the bookie from bribing others, then why did he take decisions in the game that translated into the opposition piling up a huge total? On the other hand, they also showed that Azhar had a change of mind which came into complete manifestation after the drop catch and the change of bat! So how does the pre-planning of something go hand in hand with the change of heart during the match? With this point, I don't feel the need to address any other flaw or problems.
The cricketers, the commentators, the courtroom drama, it all looked to be as if people were out there putting together a theatre show or something - worst of all being his own lawyer!Ībove all, I can't remember a film that contradicts itself so much and almost drifts away from the details related to earlier. This is really a tremendous level of professionalism, but. He clearly seems to have worked immensely hard to do the role and not only adopt the way Azharuddin used to walk, talk etc., but also his cricket shots, batting stance and style.
