Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

ashdoc53 AZAAAAAAN.....at least to a politically incorrect person like me this Muslim call for prayer to the devout sounds like a terrible call for jihad that reverberates across the ages......Images of gun-toting men attacking my hometown Mumbai or planting bombs elsewhere and masked terrorists creating mayhem in Kashmir or Chechnya flash through my mind......Thats what I went to the movie for--to see the heady cocktail of Islam , Kalashnikovs , violence and terrorism.....But lo.....Azaan Khan is actually the name of a RAW agent , a MUSALMAN DESHBHAKT.....And what is the task set before this Muslim deshbhakt ?? It is to save the country from biological warfare--a deadly strain of the Ebola virus that China has spread across the country to kill people in millions.....And to do that he has to go get a girl in Morrocco whose blood has been inoculated by Dr Maifooz ( another Muslim deshbhakt ) against the virus before he was killed by the anti-national forces . Replicating her antibodies in laboratories will give India the cure to the Ebola infection .But to get to her and save his country Mr Azaan Khan will have to fight against the agents of those who want to destroy India--dangerous mean people who have high tech weapons , and whom Azaan has to counter with brains and brawn..........And counter them he does.....In the bhojpuri accented English of his RAW handler (actor Ravi Kissan )--He faaught like a lian against aaal aaads But while countering them he has to fight against turncoats from his own RAW agency who are working for the enemy , and against his own younger brother Aman Khan the Muslim deshdrohi.....But one word about this maha Muslim deshbhakt......why was such a wooden , expressionless actor chosen for this lead role ?? For he is an actor who is not able to show any emotion even when his mehbooba ( some firangi actress ) dies in his arms , ending a brief and tragic romance..... What hold does he have in the film industry that he was chosen in spite of his obvious incapacity to act ??The fight sequences are the only somewhat interesting part of the film , but even they are mitigated by the hero's ( Sachin Joshi ) expressionless acting......In the end the hero saves the country at the cost of his life.....and I really wish he's dead so that I don't have to see him in more films in the future....As far as YOU are concerned......you don't have to see him in this film too..........For I am not recommending it to you.....Verdict--not good.....

varghesejunior Quite simply, Aazaan is meant to be an action thriller, and it does live up to that genre top some extent. Story is about a RAW agent Aazaan khan, who is sent to find the mastermind behind a deadly virus that is killing people around the world, who is also believed to have the cure. Aazaan also has been given the task of finding his missing brother who is believed to be linked with terrorists.The concept is weak-something that people nowadays are not very interested in.The editing is poor, for some scenes there is audio video mismatch(poor dubbing). Most actors are cheap. They should have used some standard actors. They have also tried to use the remarkable BOURNE type of action in this. Some scenes move too fast.But some of the action scenes in the movie are remarkable. So are the various locales where it was shot. Sachin Joshi does a good job. Songs are pretty good. You can watch this film. But perhaps if it had released at least 10 years before with a few FAMOUS actors, it would've done better.

bobbysing Watching a project such as AZAAN makes me sad because it is a perfect example of a misguided venture backed by a strong resourceful will of making a good film. It can easily be compared to a game wherein a person is holding a bunch of darts ready to hit the target-board. But after he throws them all, he finds out that where some less important ones have rightly hit the bull's eye, the other most important ones have gone far away from the main circle.Explaining the example given above, AZAAN has few great merits which should have essentially resulted in a fine movie. Like, it was marketed well and talks about a fresh subject of Bio-terrorism (spreading germs or viruses to kill a large number of people) which has never been exploited by any Hindi Film before so prominently. As required by the international plot it gets full support from its fabulous cinematography, brilliantly capturing the action sequences as well as its various world locations taking the viewer onto a multiple country tour. Plus it gets a very well composed & arranged background score which adds to the thriller aspect of the film perfectly along with few pretty decent tracks in its soundtrack like "Bismillah" and more.But all these merits become worthless in absence of the right kind of script, pace and performances required for such a project. In other words everything goes wrong in the film apart from these few points, sadly resulting in a poor show altogether. The director Prashant Chadha takes all his inspiration from the famous "BOURNE series" and other films made on the similar subject, but is not able to bring the same kind of excitement in his own film. The script goes on unimpressively, from being predictable to complicated travelling from one continent to another in fast cuts. Moreover the writers don't ever care to explain the concept of Bio-terrorism to the audience and take everything for granted. The romance factor looks like deliberately added as usual and the thrilling element is surprisingly completely missing in the film based on Global Terrorism.In the performance department, Sachin Joshi has got the looks but he actually doesn't match the vast scale of the project. He still needs to sharpen many aspects of his acting including his dialogue delivery. From rest of the cast Ravi Kissen tries hard but everyone else gets nothing written for them specifically in its weak script.On the whole AZAAN unarguably shows all the big money spent and many sincere efforts put in to convert it into a big success. But unfortunately its just like the case of constructing a fine smooth road towards a wrong direction. And it really makes you feel sad watching such an effort being made without any proper directions.

kabiradvani Aazaan by far the worthiest film I've watched all year. Being a movie buff i try and catch all movies not being subjective . The same goes with Aazaan. Its all you can expect in a great movie, action, romance, thrill, excitement, commitment, loyalty, speed! Its got great commitment to entertainment, thrill to excite the audience, loyalty towards each movie goer's preference, thus compacting all the good stuff moves in one movie. Its a whole package with a little for everyone. Its kinda like a box of chocolates...its just my way of expressing my joy of watching the movie!! But don;t take my word for it!
