Udaan: is an inspiring film.
In an interview Anurag Kashyap said that “Udaan” is very close to him as it draws references from his past. Really, it’s a film to which every individual can relate his teenage years. When you have Anurag Kashyap’s name associated with a film, you can be sure of some quality cinema. Stepping into the shoes of a producer, Anurag gives you just what you had expected. It’s a moving film, beautifully crafted by debutant director Vikramaditya Motwane, who has also co-written the film along with Anurag Kashyap.
The protagonist, Rohan (played by debutant Rajat Bharmecha) who is expelled from boarding school, moves to his hometown Jamshedpur, his first visit in eight years. Confronting a dominating, uncaring father (played by Ronit Roy), a 6 year old step brother (Aaryan Boradiya) which he had no idea of, makes the home coming experience a very unwelcoming one. Having an urge to become a writer, Rohan gets no backing from his father and is forced into working at the his father’s factory up till afternoon and going to engineering college after that. The only person who understands this motherless teenager is his uncle (Ram Kapoor), but is helpless. Other than showing a father-son relationship, it also depicts the bond between Rohan and his half brother.
New comer Rajat Bharmecha (Rohan) delivers a heartwarming performance. Ronit Roy succeeds in putting up his best as a harsh father, Bhairav. Aaryan Boradiya as Arjun comes as a surprise package with his spontaneous acting.
Yet another brilliant score by Amit Trivedi, the music goes so well with the film, it never deviates you from the gist of the film. The script is rock solid and so is the climax, that doesn’t falter at any time.
It’s a sincere attempt by director Vikramaditya Motwane, who has succeeded in making a moving film. Go for it, it’s one of the finest bollywood films made in recent times.
Rating: 4/5
