The Review

Bollywood films sure have come a long way. Although I find the sing-and-dance routine entertaining, I’m pleased that Indian filmmakers are able to produce moving movies such as Udaan.

I’ve to give props to the director Vikramaditya Motwane for his brilliant vision, the duo writers of Vikramaditya Motwane, and Anurag Kashyap, which tells a story of hope and chasing your dreams.

Udaan tells of a boys who has has to face the harsh reality of life, and of shattered dreams. But people are capable of amazing feats, and through sheer will and stubbornness not willing to give up any more of his dreams, Rohan sets out to fulfill his purpose in life.

The Good

• Superb acting
• A film everyone can be inspired and related to

The Bad

• Pacing of the movie could be faster
