One of the best Indian movies ever made in terms of subject matter, 31 May 2006
Author: skdhungel from South Korea

Main azaad Hoon is one of best Indian movies i have ever watched. I do not think any movie with a hypothetical plot could touch the human feelings more than this. It is not an Indian masala movie at all rather it is targeted to the oppressed and suppressed poor class of people to teach the lesson that the common people should become conscious about anything happening in the society and get united to eradicate the bad elements . The film ends with a message of sacrifice along with the motivation for revolt through true consciousness. The acting of Amitabh Bacchan is lively and that of Sabana Azmi too is praiseworthy. Rest of the characters are not that significant. The role played by Annu Kapoor is a short but sweet.
