AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
manishbajaj The director has done his job pretty good and did quite a justice to the characters in the movie. Emraan has did a spectacular acting keeps me hooked up till the end. And the actress prachi perfectly suited for the role. This movie is totally entertaining and sportive. No matter what people think about Azharuddin, He played his part well like the others but slide into incrimination. A true fighter in this hard competitive game. Even the lifestyle of players is obvious as of the reality as it gets really tough to avoid limelight and luxury and fun for any star. We can't blame a single person for the loss of a team. Its people point of view changes so rationally. eg. Own people of Hyderabad didn't supported him at all and found reasons to blame. This movie speak about game which goes in and off the field. In the end I couldn't stop clapping. Superb movie of this year don't miss out.
dharmendraiitdelhi Azhar is a 2016 Indian sports drama film directed by Tony D'Souza. based on the life of the former Indian international cricketer, Mohammad Azharuddin. The movie is a real story of Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin The story is really good……a very good role played by Emraan Hashmi as Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin The story is written by Rajat Arora and is inspired from the life of Indian cricketer and former national team captain Mohammad Azharuddin. The movie begins with Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin (Emraan Hashmi) scoring a century in his 99th test match, but he soon faces allegations of match-fixing as his name has been linked with a London based bookie. The India cricket board slaps a life-ban on him. Azhar decides to challenge the ban in court with the help of his lawyer friend Reddy (Kunaal Roy Kapoor). Director Tony D'Souza and his writer Rajat Arora brilliantly capture the journey of one of India's greatest batsman, right from his birth to his eventual exoneration by the court, focusing equally on Azharuddin's storied career as well as the shocking scandal that derailed it. Along the way, he makes us remember that this man's career is indeed worth remembering, and the controversy that erupted toward the end of it needs to be looked at from a different angle. Tony's Boss and Blue suddenly feel like distant memories. Every body must watch this movie ,,…….its a good movie……..
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.
sammy I had decent hopes from this movie. But they were dashed . With bad acting and a very mediocre screenplay , Azhar is to a certain extent intolerable . Lara Dutta and Kunal Roy Kapoor lucidly ruin the film with astonishingly lousy acting. Lara Dutta couldn't have done better , given her skills, while KRK was given one of the most irritating characters to play in the history of stereotypical caricature cinema. The director tries to play with non-linear storytelling in the form of flashbacks and what not , but that does't succeed in hiding the mundane . Emran Hashmi who has acted well in the past as a beleaguered anti-hero , somehow does not seem convincing enough. In an attempt to emulate Azhar's demeanour he sacrifices the necessary cinematic elements of diction and intonation. The movie could have been so much better given the real life events it tries to portray . Alas, it is not so.I only have 3 points for it for now. If perception is relative I may augment the rating in the future .
