Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Lawbolisted Powerful
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Gaurav Bhalla (gbvisions) 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.
Akshay Hegde The premise of Hawaizaada had potential to be a really interesting account of Shivkar Bapuji Talpade who is believed to have flown an airplane even before the Wright brothers. While the motives of debut-director Vibhu Puri are in place but not enough importance is given either to writing a good screenplay or to dwell upon actual facts and science. What we get is dozens of needless songs stuffed in with a poor romance story and juvenile attempts at humor. I don't know how a talented lad like Ayushmann Khurrana ended up in this travesty.Ayushmann plays Shivkar Talpade who is not very good studies and hence has been failing in the same class for years now. He is very intelligent though when it comes to building things and practical knowledge. But before we can see him go on building an aircraft we have to sit through an atrocious hour of romance with his lady-love Sitara (Pallavi Sharda) and a couple of boring songs. Both of them belong to different classes which angers Shiv's father removing him from his house and Sitara also leaves him believing it is not suitable for them to marry. After all that clichéd melodrama finally Shiv meets an old science-enthusiast Shastri (Mithun Chakraborty) who is trying to build the first ever flying vehicle with help of verses from ancient Vedas. He sees the spark in Shiv when Shiv makes a model he Shastri built take-off with his knowledge. They both start working together and Shiv leans a lot about Vedas from Shastri. Then our hero's lady love is back in the story to stuff in more melodrama and songs. I really don't understand why Bollywood needs to have romance and dozens of songs in every film no matter of the subject or genre. The film runs for a dragging length of 2 and half hours and by the time we see Shiv fly away I was waiting badly for the credits to start rolling to put an end to the boredom.The positives that here are the glamorous sets filled with glitter and colors. But they do seem a lot artsy to give the historic feel required. The British people shown are ridiculous and the independence propaganda is also thrown in making the screenplay way too out of place. Not much heed is given in the script to actual science behind the airplane models rather the characters speak one- dimensional dialogues consisting of nothing more than 'Your plane will fly, keep your hopes alive'. Ayushmann tries his best but poor dialogues overshadow his commitment. Mithun as the typical mentor adds nothing new and Pallavi's career flight is yet to take off with back-to-back disasters Besharam and this one. Only silver lining I could spot is the child actor Naman Jain portraying Shivkar's nephew. Lot of work was needed in the editing department, the script could have been stretched up to two hours maximum. Hawaizaada pursues for the flight for too long that making the actual flight tasteless. It has its heart at the right place but unfortunately that's the only thing going its way. Utterly disappointing.RATING: [1/5]
Dhruv Naik 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.
Jasrick Johal 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
