To be honest I am not knowing what
to write but putting some critics which I
took after seeing the movie from public
AZHAR
Azhar was an idol in the 80-90s. His desire to play a hundred tests remains a
pipe dream because he is banned after his 99th nine. Emraan bears no physical
resemblance to Azharuddin. However, his mannerisms—the blinking of his eyes and
swagger add to a knockout performance.
Azhar was shy boy who fumbled his way
through interviews, who still swallows more words than he lets out of his
mouth, yet managed to charm a high-profile, glamorous star from 1980-90s
Bollywood (Salman Khan’s ex-girlfriend Sangeeta Bijlani, no less), is without
doubt fascinating even to a non-cricket fan.
The first 20 minutes of “Azhar” establish a pattern of success and failure, highs and lows, heartbreaking losses and thumping wins in quick succession. As if the title of the movie wasn’t enough, the director goes the extra mile to show exactly whose side he is on in the sordid match-fixing saga. The film’s makers throw their weight behind Azharuddin, portraying him as someone more wronged than wrong, a man of immense talent and mostly steady morals who was simply a victim of bad circumstances and people far more wicked than him.
It looks a bit ridiculous because almost as a matter of rule, Azhar chooses the exact opposite of the morally sound choice right after delivering sermons to others – choices that range from starting an extra-marital affair, accepting a bribe, and throwing matches.
Prachi Desai is convincing as the cricketer’s selfless first wife Naureen, who never leaves her husband’s side despite being rejected by him in the most public way possible. And where as . Nargis Fakhri looks radiant as Sangeeta, Azharuddin’s second wife.
Lara Datta looks confident as the career-driven, no-nonsense prosecution lawyer. Aditya Roy Kapoor hams and overacts as Azharuddin’s friend and counsel
