Azhar (2016)
3/10
Irritatingly Yours

Warning: Spoilers
I had decent hopes from this movie. But they were dashed . With bad acting and a very mediocre screenplay , Azhar is to a certain extent intolerable .

Lara Dutta and Kunal Roy Kapoor lucidly ruin the film with astonishingly lousy acting. Lara Dutta couldn't have done better , given her skills, while KRK was given one of the most irritating characters to play in the history of stereotypical caricature cinema.

The director tries to play with non-linear storytelling in the form of flashbacks and what not , but that does't succeed in hiding the mundane .

Emran Hashmi who has acted well in the past as a beleaguered anti-hero , somehow does not seem convincing enough. In an attempt to emulate Azhar's demeanour he sacrifices the necessary cinematic elements of diction and intonation.

The movie could have been so much better given the real life events it tries to portray . Alas, it is not so.

I only have 3 points for it for now. If perception is relative I may augment the rating in the future .
