First off, I would say hats off in choosing this story/biography of the great Indian scientist Shivkar Bapuji Talpade. Nobody knew it was him, not the Wright brothers to fly the first unmanned aircraft.Also the beauty of applying Vedas into aeronautics has startled me. Now I seriously question why we are still having English medium schools with false history written in it. Anyways, as a movie I feel it is quite stretched and longer than it would have been.However the romance has been shown very well. It is quite an entertaining mixture of love, science and freedom. Not to mention the sets were amazing, and the art direction is brilliant. So are the costume design, and dialogs. I loved watching it.

You will need a lot of patience to watch this movie. I myself after watching for 2 hour walked out of hall. Please do not go and watch this movie. The acting performed by actors and actress are awful. I guarantee that you will regret after watching this movie. If you still want to go this movie then please I request you to donate that amount to any persons who is need of money. At least you will get blessings from that persons. I will bet that after watching this movie viewers from outside India will laugh at our inventors. They will think thats why we are lagging behind everybody. Such a bullshit direction by director. After every 10 minutes there are songs played which is very irritating. Thanks

Hawaizaada based on the life of Shivkar Bapuji Talpade's life is somehow below expectation.Hawaizaada is first film of Vibhu Puri.Ayushmann Khurrana as Shiv is nice and excellent in 2nd half.Mithun Chakraborty as Shastry is fantastic.Pallavi Sharda is much better than Besharam.Story is well written but editing is awful.2nd half is not good because of so many songs and for me there is no need of them.Love track between Shiv and Sitara made this biography boring at some point.Otherwise,its superb and very good.Overall,if you historical or biography you can surely go for this but ignore the love track.

Vibhu Puri's 'Hawaizaada' is a highly ambitious, well-made film, but its uneven overall. A look at the life of scientist Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, this period piece is visually appealing, but too many songs & a stretched romantic-track, hit the film hard. 'Hawaizaada' is Based on the life on an Indian scientist Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, who is credited to have constructed India's first unmanned plane is the tale of the hardships that he went through on the journey to discover. 'Hawaizaada' needed to be more about Talpade & his Mentor's genius, rather than being a romantic-story about Talpade & his lady-love. Being a biopic, you except the film to be a detailed take on Talpade's journey about the scientist that he was, not who he romanced. Also, there are too many songs in the film. In fact, the first-hour has a song popping up every 10-minutes. Vibhu Puri's Screenplay has moments of power, when the film actually talks about Talpade's ambition, but is mostly side-lined by its stilted romantic-track. Less of romance & more of drama would've made 'Hawaizaada' a biopic to reckon with. But sadly, that doesn't happen here! Vibhu Puri's Direction, however, is stunning. In terms of visuals, 'Hawaizaada' is a beauty. Each & Every Frame has been captured beautifully, there is not a single dull frame in this biopic. The Cinematography is top-class & The Art Design is incredibly accurate. Editing is not sharp at all. The film is lazily paced & a bit too long. The Songs are melodious, but appear forced in the film.Performance-Wise: Ayushmann Khurrana as Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, delivers a terrific performance. He rises above the faulty script & manages to keep the proceedings alive to a large extend, thanks to his impressive portrayal of the late legend in science. Mithun Chakraborty dominates every scene he appears in. As Ayushmann's eccentric mentor, he's exceptional. Pallavi Sharda as Ayushmann's lady love, looks gorgeous, but is saddled with the film's weakest track, & hence, she doesn't leave a mark. On the whole, 'Hawaizaada' is made with passion, no doubt, but a stronger script was the need of the day!
