Good start, but then it gets ruined
Dreadfully Boring
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Quite simply, Aazaan is meant to be an action thriller, and it does live up to that genre top some extent. Story is about a RAW agent Aazaan khan, who is sent to find the mastermind behind a deadly virus that is killing people around the world, who is also believed to have the cure. Aazaan also has been given the task of finding his missing brother who is believed to be linked with terrorists.The concept is weak-something that people nowadays are not very interested in.The editing is poor, for some scenes there is audio video mismatch(poor dubbing). Most actors are cheap. They should have used some standard actors. They have also tried to use the remarkable BOURNE type of action in this. Some scenes move too fast.But some of the action scenes in the movie are remarkable. So are the various locales where it was shot. Sachin Joshi does a good job. Songs are pretty good. You can watch this film. But perhaps if it had released at least 10 years before with a few FAMOUS actors, it would've done better.
Aazaan by far the worthiest film I've watched all year. Being a movie buff i try and catch all movies not being subjective . The same goes with Aazaan. Its all you can expect in a great movie, action, romance, thrill, excitement, commitment, loyalty, speed! Its got great commitment to entertainment, thrill to excite the audience, loyalty towards each movie goer's preference, thus compacting all the good stuff moves in one movie. Its a whole package with a little for everyone. Its kinda like a box of chocolates...its just my way of expressing my joy of watching the movie!! But don;t take my word for it!
Just saw the movie and I've to say it's an outstanding movie. I have seen Mission Impossible and Bourne Identity series and then to watch this Bollywood flick is something more than appreciable. I had to write a review for this movie because I'm just in love with the movie. The action sequences, music, acting and definitely the ACTION is mind-blowing. By now hopefully you should get a jist of the potential of the movie. Indian spy, amazing directing skills, beautiful cinematography and definitely mind-blasting background music to support each scene makes this movie a must-watch for the season. Guys, this diwali there is just another reason to celebrate, Go and watch Aazaan if you love Action genre from the bottom of your heart.
Azaan is an attempt to make a spy action thriller of Hollywood echelon and makers have partly succeeded in their job. The movie is shot exotically, and seems polished but misses out the real thrill element of an action thriller. Thanks to very poor screenplay, a viewer is never connected with the movie, and thus enjoys this stylish odyssey at a superficial level only.Sachin Joshi isn't apt choice for this movie. The actor, who is also the producer of the movie, is unfortunately, a big letdown. If he would have casted some veteran actor of Bollywood and invested good amount in publicity and marketing, and the movie would have turned a money making machine for him.Unfortunately, one of the most expensive movies of Bollywood (precisely 180 crores) will flop without notice of the people.I can easily summarize my experience of Azaan as follows.Good: Cinematography (arguably, the best that Bollywood has even seen) Background Score (Undoubtedly, the best that Bollywood has heard this year till date) Novel theme (biological warfare and undercover agent concept)Bad: Sachin Joshi's performance (and strictly okay performances from veterans like Dilip Tahil and Sajid Hassan due to scare scope) Scattered screenplay (probably the worst one for such a tight-edited movie)Nevertheless, I will watch this movie again, just to hear the background score by Salim – Sulaiman.
