Udaan
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...unconventional Bollywood at its biting best.
-
In an industry known to indulge in larger-than-life ‘flights of fantasy’, Udaan is one of those intermittent ‘coming of age’ films from Bollywood. Do not miss!
-
Udaan is our life on screen.
-
...is both a celebration and a triumph of that spirit rebellious.
-
Watch it and weep. And marvel at an extraordinary story told without veering into the maudlin. It's a tightly controlled drama without any melodrama.
-
...a terrific, moving coming-of-age film...
-
Being young can be quite rewarding if you are willing to take charge, be responsible. Udaan is an enriching experience in highlighting the same.
-
Simple and touching, that’s Udaan for you. A must-watch for all, whether teenager or a parent.
-
...soars really high, higher than anything else this year.
-
It's one of the best films this year, and one you will carry in your heart for years.
-
Poignant, unsettling and disturbing...
-
It will linger on your mind for a long time to come.
-
...a ballsy debut...
-
...there’s so much in the film truly worth savouring.
-
...a bleak beauty, a commendable debut.
-
Its heart is in the right place. But most importantly, it has a soul and may well make you reflect on your own life and wonder, “I could’ve done this differently.”
-
The young director must be congratulated for taking up such a non-commercial subject for opening his innings in Bollywood.
-
...flies on many counts. The movie tackles its themes with sobriety and honesty.
-
...is real and sharp, the story telling brisk despite the silences, the nuanced music fits in well, and the debutant director displays a sure, deft hand.
-
There are choices involved in the telling of a story; and I felt the story-teller opted for the easier, more accessible ones. This correction could have lent more subtlety and depth to Vikramaditya Motwane’s otherwise accomplished film.
-
It’s an outstanding criss-cross of relationships between three men about the house.
