Main Azaad Hoon has a very different theme to usual masala treats as this has a cause or soul in the people Azaad voices for. The script was excellent along with the plot.
A corrupt politician decides to accelerate newspaper sales by asking a female reporter to create a fictional character who claims rights for the poor and unwealthy called "Azaad" (Freedom). This starts a sensation a face is required for Azaad and Amitabh a wandering bumpkin is recruited for the job. However, it turns out that he's quite popular with his new identity. The story continues......
Amitabh again is great as the wondering nomad turned voice of the downtrodden, Shabani Azmi is ideal in the supporting lead.
A film which addresses certain issues in our motherland which still resound today even after 16-17 years this movie was released.
This was Tinnu Anand's latest AB starrer after Shahenshah. Not your usual "dishoom dishoom haram zaada", more "humari maange puri karo!"
