Azhar (2016)

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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.

It is a good movie. I liked this movie. My all friends liked this movie . i watched this movie with my all friends. Azhar is a 2016 Indian sports drama film directed by Tony D'Souza.

"Azhar" tells the untold story of legendary cricket Mohammaed Azharuddin (played by Emraan Hashmi) who was center of controversy due to one incident which changed his life.I was expecting Emraan Hashmi to deep-dive into the character. Unfortunately, I was disappointedOther actors like Lara Dutta and Kunal Roy Kapur gives a good performance. Prachi Desai does well in small role while Nargis Fakhri disappoints. The best part is it's last 20-30 minutes which is the complete powerhouse of the film. Finally, i'd say go for it once without thinking it won't disappoint you as such but also don't expect a masterpiece. In this I learned about characters hard work. Actulay this movie has pros and cons, but I only attract about only pros So the best part of movie is just 30 minutes but else movie is just time pass At last the story of Mohammaed Azharuddin known by the people who watched

Nice propaganda movieNice and clever propaganda. The movie beautifully covers up the issue whether Azhar took money or not, they raised it just before the interval and conveniently covered it under many other aspects of his life. He has played for India and won many matches for the country so of course there will be many things to cherish and celebrate about him, which makes the movie interesting, no doubt. But the whole plot about the match fixing angle is so cooked up, they show him taking money from bookie, talking to the bookie on cellphone during the match and suddenly his conscience awakens up in the middle of the match. How convenient !! And look at the crookedness of the makers, before the start they announce that this is a work of fiction and at the end, Azhar's character tells us I leave it to you, whether you want me to believe or not. Yeah, we are stupid enough to believe, that you took the money but suddenly in the middle of the match, your grandfather's soul made you do the right thing.The whole court case which tries to exonerate him in the movie, was in reality, about the ban on him by the cricket association and and not the actual match fixing, many cine-goers will not be able to realize this difference. This case was dragged for many years and was a low profile one, contrary to what is shown in the movie. Moreover, he is shown as a loving husband and family-man, who protects both his wives and families by not letting them come to court. So much so for a guy who even after marrying twice, had affair with Jwala Gutta and then had another affair with Shannon Marie. Someone has correctly said that some people want to change the definition of our heroes. Thank you Ekta Kapoor, till now you were making garbage movies, now you are making movies on garbage people. I wonder why Emraan accepted this role, probably because it was a tough role, tough to portray a wrong man as right and he must be given credit for his performance, he actually acted good, same goes for Prachi. Nargis and Kunal Roy Kapoor made caricatures of their characters as usual. However biggest achievement goes to the script writers for camouflaging this dishonorable man as a true sportsperson and patriot cricketer.
