Azhar(44)(125)Azhar the cricketer we looked as one of the greatest captains of India.. Emraan Hashmi has done fabulously as Azhar.. Truly good acting by him.. He fits for the role.. Cricket stadium shown in the movie could've been still better (graphics).. Director must improve in some departments.. Music is average.. Watchable if you're a cricket fan..

Makers were completely confused about their point of view while making this film so as I was confused to decide my side. Only, one page disclaimer of film is in detail which says that it doesn't claim to be real other wise all scenes are very hurried. Makers assumed that every one is well versed with the personal and professional happenings in Azhar life. Flashback type of narration is boring. Cricket scenes are not interesting. Dialogues by writer of film Rajat Arora, are OK but most of the time go over board like in beginning of film, Azhar voice over comes that as an Indian Cricket Team captain, public used to of treating him like Damad, what is it!!!? Wouldn't it be better if he said like Beta. Writer had to be aware that it is not "Once Upon A Time In Mumbai". If actor is unable to carry emotional scene then director shakes the camera like in the scene where Azhar gets news of his maternal grand father demise. Court room scenes are also more about heavy dialogues rather then witty and intelligent facts. In serious court scene they insert comedy which comes prominently eventually drastically reducing the required impact of scene. Casting is ridiculous. Not a single actor convinces about the real name, he was portraying including female one. Emraan Hashmi as Azhar is OK. Prachi Desai as his wife looks pretty and emotes well especially in the scene when she gets information about another girl in her husband life through his indirect confession on T.V. Kunal Roy Kapoor as lawyer Reddy is fantastic. Rest are nothing to be mentioned.

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.

Azhar was among one of the most awaited movie of the year 2016. For me at least (Being an Emraan Hashmi Fan) And somewhere it was worth the wait. This time Emraan was doing a film which was completely of an different genre yet same somewhere as he's known for playing characters with negative shades and Azhar was exactly of his kinda role yet the genre made it different, being a biopic. Here, too he gives an EXCELLENT performance as needed. So, the film opens with a long disclaimer clearly stating that the film is mix work of Fiction and Reality. And the characters,story are partially work of Fiction. (Here, how come you call it a biopic then? Was the writer

I am making it short and simple. Emraan just nailed it and other actors did their best too but Narghis Fakhri wasn't that good with her part. Story and narration is in the best way as possible so folks no way you should miss this movie. Music is awesome but if you talk about playground then yes i admit it looks bit dull. Supporting crew are brilliant. Prachi has also done a good job and she looks cute all the time. If you are a cricket fan then this movie wont disappoint you. Judge him love him or hate him you are going to love it.

"As the tag line of the movie suggest, love him, hate him, judge him, however, if you look at the movie it simply gives the signal that the director only loves Emraan. Well, no one can judge anyone, yet the way the film is made is not par with the expectation of anyone who knows Azhar very well apart from knowing the makers of the movie." "In Jannat (2008), Hashmi played a match fixer and bookie, a role that perfectly suited his louche charm. Azhar sees him at the other end of the transaction, and Hashmi works hard to ensure his own rehabilitation as an actor." "Azhar could honestly have been a great biopic, even within its own self-imposed limitations. Instead, like Azharuddin, it chooses to ignore its own potential and thereby shoots itself in the foot."

AZHAR REVIEW :- One of the most awaited film of Emran Hashmi's career from its trailer release to today. When i saw the Trailer of Azhar that time only, i decided to watch this film on First Day First Show. Reasons are known, Emran was looking promising after a long period plus i was interested in knowing our Cricketer Azharuddin's controversial life. Finally watched the Film and i am completely satisfied with this product, it completed all my expectations which were not high. Acting- Excellent job by Emran Hashmi. I haven't seen his some acting oriented movies so i cant decide but still i say it is his Best Performance i've ever seen. His walking Style, Batting style, Dialogue delivery everything was perfect. Not award winning though, but still Kudos for him. Prachi Desai, Nargis Fakhri and Lara Dutta failed to match Emran. They didn't have much screen space, may be that was the reason but really their Make up talks louder than their Acting. Other star cast was strictly okay. Music :- Certainly, not up to the mark. Songs just come and go. Nothing to remember. Same with Background Music. Cinematography :- Worse. Really some scenes looks like daily soaps, especially Cricket match scenes. Disappointing field for the film. Screenplay :- Good but not great. Good because of 130 minutes run time, and not great because editing could have been better. Many scenes and especially songs deserves cut. 2-3 loo breaks are there but still Film doesn't make you feel bore. Dialogues :- Superb ! Clap worthy, whistle worthy and touching. I don't want to spoil much cause it will affect the impact of those dialogues. Direction :- First of all i want to praise Tony D'Souza for daring to make controversial film like this and want to thank him for revealing some truths about Azharuddin. Direction is very good, surpassed my expectations. Tony crafted film very well, especially Interval and Climax scene. Final Words :- Overall a good movie which deserved your one time watch for many reasons. We love you 'Fighter Azharuddin' forever. Thanks to Balaji Production for making this film so that we realise some unknown facts about our Azhar. Go for it, and don't watch it as a movie watch it as Azhar's real life story, movies like this comes very rarely

Everyone loves a sporting hero – the guy who comes from nowhere and wins hearts of the nation. It doesn't happen too often. What happens even lesser is when the very fans who put him on the pedestal, pull him down because they find him unworthy of the love and adulation. Azhar is the story of a fallen hero's fight for his lost dignity. From a lower middle-class background in Hyderabad, Mohammed Azharuddin (Emraan) rises to become one of India's most successful captains in the world of cricket. But the journey is speckled with controversies and scandals galore. On the personal front, he makes headlines when he romances a film heroine Sangeeta (Nargis) who he eventually marries after leaving his first wife Naureen (Prachi). On the career front, he is banned from playing cricket after being accused of match fixing. The film tracks Azhar's journey as he combats his inner battles with a clear mission – to have his name cleared. What's good: There are two ways to make a biopic – you either position it like a docu-drama or take the populist route. Director Tony D'Souza opts for the latter, which is a clever move because Mohammed Azharuddin was always a people's hero. For the most part of the film, the reconstruction of Azhar's life from real to reel is authentic. Tony begins his lead character's story on the right note – his entry on the cricket field on the day of his grandfather's death to Ravi Shastri's role in his selection. The film sails along seamlessly in the first half with the endearing portions between Azhar and Naureen being the highlights. The real Azharuddin has endorsed the film and it's commendable that he gave his nod to the portrayal of all the Grey areas in his life – his infidelity, insensitivity, betrayal, insult, and humiliation is there for public consumption. The most important part is the admission of accepting money from a bookie – even if for a larger reason. Tony has added some delicious moments in the film – look out for the fight with Manoj (Prabhakar) in the locker room; Ravi's (Shastri) wife barging into the spa looking for her philandering husband; Navjyot (Sidhu) refusing to support Azhar and even Kapil (Dev) looking the other way. Azharuddin, as we know him, was always a shy, awkward guy who didn't speak eloquently or display emotions openly. Emraan Hashmi gets the character perfect to the core – from the body language to the attitude. It's a credit to Emraan that you feel the pain of Azhar going from the most loved man to the most hated man in the country. There is a scene where Azhar is called for a ribbon cutting – Emraan's act in that will make you cringe. The conflict that Azhar feels before dating Sangeeta, whether real or aimed at whitewashing, is interesting and effective. As is Azhar's insistence of keeping his wives, parents and kids out of the court, despite being abandoned by his friends and colleagues. There is something uniquely real about Naureen's character from her appearance to her dialogues. Prachi brings to life the dignity and charm of Azhar's former wife with her performance. The non-linear format of the film accentuates the impact. Rajat Arora's dialogues add the necessary chutzpah to Azhar's character. What's not: A major part of the film is in the confines of a courtroom. Sadly, that's the portion that seems dreary. Both the lawyers (Lara Dutta and Kunal Roy Kapoor) in the film are like caricatures. You also wish the film had dug deeper into the story. It feels incomplete; questions still remain unanswered. Nargis Fakhri looks glamorous despite her distracting duck pout but she should strictly avoid roles where she has to emote even remotely.
