Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost Azhar is a superficial look at the life of one of the most enigmatic and intriguing sporting stars this country has ever seen. It is an opportunity lost. May 9, 2019 Full Review Rahul Desai CatchNews An awful production, even by Balaji's fluctuating standards. Rated: 1.5/5 Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Meena Iyer The Times of India Emraan bears no physical resemblance to Azharruddin. However his mannerisms-the blinking of his eyes and swagger add to a knockout performance. Watch Azhar for him. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 7, 2017 Full Review Rachit Gupta Filmfare Mohammed Azharuddin's much anticipated biopic is an underwhelming, face-saving exercise where one of the hottest sporting stories is relegated to formulaic heroism and courtroom antics. Oct 30, 2017 Full Review Manjusha Radhakrishnan Gulf News (UAE) If you are expecting Hashmi to deliver a captain's innings here, then you are looking up the wrong film. Rated: 2/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in Azhar is a botched opportunity to present a nuanced portrait of one of Indian cricket's most enigmatic figures.

Audience Member If you're a fan of streaming movies online, GlamCinema is a great site with a wide range of films. watch the any movie on https://glamcinema.com Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Audience Member Life is good for play Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Ahmed M Could have finished an hour quicker if it wasn't so stretched out. The film doesn't have much else to offer than what you've seen in the trailer already. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/16 Full Review Audience Member "Azhar" doesn't fixate completely on the cricketer's personal or professional life. It is sheer Bolly-mash inspired from a few real-life incidents. There is neither the dramatic flair, nor the thrills. Songs are the only savior here (along with an okayish Emraan Hashmi), but they too did not necessarily drive the story any further and ended up as mere filler. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Everyone knew the story but how to tell it beautifully was the problem. The efficient screenplay solves it. But however still the film falls flat partially due to the fact everyone knows about it and secondly difficulty in accepting Azhars version which is the film. but still not a bad film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting movie although white washed Azhar's career Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
