Azhar : Movie Review



Movie :- Azhar
Ratings :- 3.5/5 Starts
Casts :- Emraan Hashmi, Prachi Desai, Nargis Fakhri, Lara Dutta
Director :- Tony D'Souza
Duration :- 130 minutes
Release Date :- 13 May 2016

Azhar is an sports biographical film released on yesterday written by Rajat Arora and directed by Tony D'Souza. Based on the life of the Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin, the film is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor and Sony Pictures Networks.
A disclaimer at the start says that it is not a biopic on the life of one of the most celebrated and controversial Indian cricket captains Mohammad Azharuddin(Emraan). So the makers hoodwink you submission that it is not a biopic. But one has also to be blind, not to be able to see the similarities between Azhar's life and this film.
You stay invested here because the material at hand combines India's two religions-cricket and films. Of course, this generation would rather see biopics on MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli. But, to give the devil his due, Azhar was an idol in the 80-90s.
