Udaan : by Vikramaditya Motwane


Udaan , a film I was longing to see since its release. The world was going ga-ga over Inception from Nolan , and a movie in our den was getting critical acclaim but no box office luck.

Udaan , a film of chasing your dreams and living each day to attain it.

Udaan is about a 17 year old Rohan who is expelled from his boarding school , caught red-handed by the warden watching sleaze in a theater outside the campus.

Udaan is about a strict & abusive father played by Ronit Roy who lives with a six year old boy , the half brother of Rohan.

Udaan is about the bonding between the 2 siblings and the cocoon created by their father , trapping them under his vigilance , his rules and his unfair ideals.

Udaan & its screenplay genius ...

  • Rohan's plight on leaving the boarding school and missing his friends on the way back to his home.
  • Father's indifference and anger on his son's notorious actions , quashing his 'to be a writer' ambitions.
  • Rohan's outburst towards his father at his uncle's place.
  • The undercurrent between Arjun and Rohan and their initial non-comfort.
  • Face off between the father and son on his low engineering grades.
  • Hospital sequences , where in Rohan impresses all with his writings
  • An apology from the father and his unapologetic instructions to Rohan & Arjun.
  • The early morning juggernaut , & its climatic photo finish.
and ... much much more ...

Udaan is simplistic cinema at its best with so much soul into the script , provin it yet again , writing is key to a film.

Udaan has seen the rising of Motwani , the talented director and Rajat Barmecha , the expressive young actor

Udaan , the Best Hindi Flick of 2010. Period.


Rating : 4.5/5.0
