Azaad Movie Review

Cast: Ajay Devgn, Diana Penty, Rasha Thadani, Aman Devgan, Piyush Mishra, Mohit Malik. Direction: Abhishik Kapoor Pick a bit of Lagaan, Mujhe Jeene Do, Betaab, Sholay, Dacait, and the resultant ineffective amalgam runs all of 147 minutes, telling you of the slave trade, suggestive patriotism, adolescent romance denominated by the rich-poor divide. Therefore Vikram Singh and his magical horse ‘Azaad’ live in an isolated camp of unkempt guys, galloping galore in the equine space that Abhishek Kapoor gives, leaving everyone dumbfounded and sometimes a little dim-witted. The locales are a poor repeat of the Dacait minus Rajan Kothali's brilliant cinematography; also, Kapoor fails to give the feel and look of the film the Rahul Rawail film and surely the punch. To give it a period environment, Kapoor makes Diana Penty wear saris with crochet borders, and Janki wears some definition-defining costumes, ditto Govind.
