Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost 05/09/2019
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. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
An awful production, even by Balaji's fluctuating standards. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review
Rachit Gupta Filmfare 10/30/2017
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. Go to Full Review

2/5
If you are expecting Hashmi to deliver a captain's innings here, then you are looking up the wrong film. Go to Full Review

Azhar is a botched opportunity to present a nuanced portrait of one of Indian cricket's most enigmatic figures. Go to Full Review

The film doesn't have much else to offer than what you've seen in the trailer already. See more 07/05/2016 "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. See more 06/03/2016 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. See more 05/30/2016 Interesting movie although white washed Azhar's career See more Read all reviews
