Hawaizaada (2015)

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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 film is truly spectacular on the account of visuals. The production design is one of greatest in recent Hindi films. The sets, the artistic props, the designing is really commendable. With great production design, comes greatest in cinematography. Kudos to Savita Singh's cinematography brilliance that made this film looks totally a visual treat. Seriously, I have not seen such beautiful frames in recent times, without VFX. The basic concept was well thought too.But, with all these superb things in hand, the film doesn't able to make to what it could be. The screenplay got messed up in the film's way to make it under historical event. Yeah, it could have been one of the greatest film in Hindi film industry. But, it all lacks at film's narrative part. The characters been so melodramatic about each situation makes a regular Hindi film, which it should not be.The director looses his brilliant idea by indulging more of a melodramatic romantic recipe into it. The film paces up in between, dialogue teaches us good. But, when the flight tries to be up high, it gets lost in the romantic clouds. It sees a great potential journey suffering from jet-lag here.It should be pure epic exploring the core idea more, yet it is somewhat inspirational.

You will need a lot of patience to watch this movie. I myself after watching for 2 hour walked out of hall. Please do not go and watch this movie. The acting performed by actors and actress are awful. I guarantee that you will regret after watching this movie. If you still want to go this movie then please I request you to donate that amount to any persons who is need of money. At least you will get blessings from that persons. I will bet that after watching this movie viewers from outside India will laugh at our inventors. They will think thats why we are lagging behind everybody. Such a bullshit direction by director. After every 10 minutes there are songs played which is very irritating. Thanks

Hawaizaada based on the life of Shivkar Bapuji Talpade's life is somehow below expectation.Hawaizaada is first film of Vibhu Puri.Ayushmann Khurrana as Shiv is nice and excellent in 2nd half.Mithun Chakraborty as Shastry is fantastic.Pallavi Sharda is much better than Besharam.Story is well written but editing is awful.2nd half is not good because of so many songs and for me there is no need of them.Love track between Shiv and Sitara made this biography boring at some point.Otherwise,its superb and very good.Overall,if you historical or biography you can surely go for this but ignore the love track.

Shivkar (ayushmann) is a lazy and imbecile person who is snubbed by his father (jayant) constantly. His studies are so poor that he ends up in the same class as his nephew (naman jain). Things change when Shivkar sees Sitara (pallavi) and falls in love with her. Knowing this, his father drives him away and Shivkar lands with the eccentric scientist Shastri (mithun) who wants to build an aeroplane. He grooms Shivkar seeing the potential but there comes a situation when Shivkar has to choose between love and loyalty. What happens after that forms the rest.The director has come up with an interesting storyline and while the presentation was nice, the narrative was good and slow in parts. The dialogues were alright. The script was great and the screenplay was ambitious and erratic in parts. The background score was very nice but songs can be avoided,only dil e nadan impressed.Cinematography was amazing.Editing was required at key places mostly in 2nd half.Costumes were well designed to suit the backdrop while the art department was very impressive. Ayushmann Khurrana gave a committed performance,it his career best. Pallavi looked beautiful but needs to work a lot on her expressions and body language. Mithun Chakraborty was the best, he is the life of the film,Naman Jain was adorable. Others didn't get much scope.The film came in with a lot of hype owing to the tale of Shivkar Talpade the man who tried to build an aeroplane before the Wright Brothers. However this film seemed more like a fairytale than a biopic. The film has many flaw,but its intention and heart are in the right place.In this, the first half goes around with elements of comedy, some romance and some very interesting moments .The interval bang was okay but the second half failed to take off, it was slow and give the required energy, but ending was good.Overall, this is a film which might have its flaw but needs to be saluted for its noble intentions,because even though the film has so many flaws, one enjoys the film. It evokes patriotism, makes one feel that maybe Shivkar Talpade was the one who flew the first ever plane. So if you want to see bombay like never before beautiful ( dir has a saawriya hangover but thats not a bad thing because 1800s look so beautiful in those types of sets),or ayshuman/mithun with amazing performance and if you want to get a sense of pride for your nation,watch Haawaizaada its worth the ticket price for those reasons.3.25/5* or 6.5/10
