MUMBAI, INDIA – Ajay Devgn’s latest production, “Azaad,” marking the debut of his nephew Aaman Devgan and Raveena Tandon’s daughter Rasha Thadani, has received a devastatingly negative review, criticizing its weak storyline, lack of emotional depth, and overall underwhelming execution.
The film, set during the British Raj, centers around Azad, a horse, and its relationship with Aaman’s character. While the reviewer praised Aaman’s effort and potential, they felt the weak script hindered his performance. Rasha’s performance was also criticized, particularly her riding skills, suggesting the use of body doubles. Ajay Devgn himself was deemed “uninspired” in his role. Even the supporting cast, including veteran actor Piyush Mishra, was not effectively utilized.
Director Abhishek Kapoor, known for films like “Kai Po Che!” and “Kedarnath,” is also subject to criticism for the film’s failure to connect with the audience emotionally. The review highlighted the film’s lack of engaging scenes and described the screenplay, credited to three writers including Kapoor himself, as severely lacking.
Overall, the review concludes that “Azaad” is a major disappointment, falling far short of expectations despite its marketing efforts. The reviewer urges filmmakers to critically evaluate their work before release, suggesting that the current trend of excessive praise hinders the growth of better cinema.
