Indian Cinema at its peak...Excellent acting by all...Watching this one should be done religiously...

I have seen this movie 6 years after it has released. Frankly speaking its an average movie, i did not find anything great about this movie. Actors justified with their characters specially ronit roy is phenomenal as usual . Their are a lot of bollywood movies with the same theme and their screenplay is much much better than its (like taare zameen par).The best part and i think the reason of success of this movie is its climax song. Hats off to writer who wrote that . Music, singing , lyrics , timing everything is perfect of this song. Movie seems to be little bit long. Starting of this movie is also not good. absence of female lead in this movie is not noticeable . But some characters seem irrelevant with movie plot . Further sequel of this movie are possible.

This is one of the best of Indian contemporary cinema. The director able to touch the heart of viewers through realistic characterization and giving enough space for thinking going on for intelligent viewers.This is all about cult and provide comprehensive analysis about undercurrent social drama experience by sub continent youth with respect to strong selfishness remain in our society at subtext leading to psychological catastrophes in upcoming generation.Any way I believe as movie climaxed with positive, in real world this could be 10 % in reality. However, movie could serve as eye opener.Main actors charming spell add value to movie and he will have good career as a beginner. The main antagonist performance is superb.Congratulation to director for his masterpiece.

Udaan (2010)On the main level this is a gripping, realistic, deeply moving story of a sensitive boy with an abusive father growing up in a culturally complex India. This is the main point here, and the reason to see it. The leading part played by this boy, Rohan, is a magnificent acting debut for Rajat Barmecha. He was twenty playing a seventeen year old schoolboy, but he's convincing, and nuanced, with both great emotional vulnerability and flashes of rebellion and fire. The other level to consider from this movie is as a cultural lens. I write from the U.S. and know only what I see from here, but it seems like a coming of age movie with the tinges of generation gap and young rebellion seen blossoming (in the movies and in life) here in the 1960s and 70s. Rohan's father is "old school" in that he's tough on his son, thinking the son needs discipline and hard work to grow up and be functional. The boy though is a writer at heart (there are several scenes where he recites poems or tells stories and they are spellbinding, if brief), and the father won't hear of that. Raising Rohan without a mother seems to give him so leniency for his stubbornness, but not for his violence, and Rohan, somehow, must react.The third character of note is not a girl--a nice change from many young men growing up stories--but a little half-brother who Rohan ends up befriend and ultimately kind of mentoring. The little one is super cute and delicate, and the three males with all their problems and conflicts make for a rich, intense interplay.The other cultural aspect (besides how young people might be seeing their morality shift from their parents and grandparents) for an outsider is to see contemporary India in a rather true, ordinary way. I mean, "Slumdog Millionaire" was amazing and sensational in its own way, but it pushed buttons and pushed boundaries. This movies stays within boundaries to that being edgy isn't interfering with the reality of the story and all its successive stages. It's really great stuff overall. The one thing that will seem odd, maybe, to some is the inspirational feel-good music with lyrics written for the film. It's almost saccharine it's so idealistic, but then, it's probably when every struggling 16 year old in Mumbai or New Delhi or wherever needs to hear. That part of the movie is not for an outsider at all, which is okay. I think people see the American classic "The Graduate" and have similar problems with the coming of age problems being mid-1960s in flavor, and the music having a pretty tenor not always up a contemporary alley.So see Udaan for what it is. Rooted in expert and conventional filmmaking and storytelling, but powerful stuff.
