It's not the most original movie but its got a nice progresiveness to it. It has good acting and not a very bollywoodesque style directing which makes it a little more interesting for me.Very tough single father trying to control his 2 sons' lives but the older one is a rebel.

The way movie progresses is fine, however the ending was not that great, leaving the viewers to wonder how a 17year old boy could take care of his younger brother, education, food shelter and so on. no substance at the end only a good feeling that he was free from his abusive father.

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.

Rohan, a sixteen year old boy who is expelled from high school for his mischievous behavior, has come back to his home and facing harsh realities of life. Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag kashyap have written a beautiful screenplay which depicts the life of a young boy, who has never got affection from his father and motivates himself to manage all his dreams alone. The movie is about living your dreams no matter how difficult it is to achieve it. Rajat Barmecha as Rohan proves every inch of it in the movie. His unconditional passion for becoming a writer remains alive till the end of the movie. Whereas, Ronit Roy as Bhairav Singh plays a role of Rohan's father, who is annoyed, shrewd and does not understand his son's love for writing stories and poems. He always disrespects Rohan's work and throws tantrums on him for being expelled from the high school. Rohan does not have an interest in engineering but his father pressurizes him for joining him in his factory and to study engineering. It shows how parents misjudge the talents of their children and keep on criticizing them for not doing something major in life. But, they fail to understand that what their child has in him, every child does not have. Their egos always build a high wall between the dreams of their children. This is what happens with Rohan when he tells his father that he wants to be a writer and he denies without even giving him a chance. His father believes that writers have no life; they roam around for work and have zero knowledge about anything. The music by Amit Trivedi is commendable. All songs go very well with the story-line. It motivates you time to time when something wrong happens with Rohan in the movie. The lyrics of all songs are so beautifully written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. It tells that your dreams cannot be chained, it will always float and who listen to their inner voice will always be successful. The movie has shown both sides of Rohan, one where he remains clam and tolerates every harsh word that comes from his dad. While other where he uses to sneak out every night with his buddies to feel the fresh air and does whatever he feels like. His step brother Aayan Barodia as Arjun does a wonderful job in the movie. An unusual bond between the two is something you should not miss. The purity of Arjun's character is another element to watch this movie. Also, Ram kapoor as Rohan's uncle fits in perfect for this role. The way he pushes Rohan to live his dream makes you motivate at times. Not to forget, Rohan's beautiful poems that he recites in the movie, all of them are so inspiring. Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag kashyap have made a flawless effort by making Udaan and awaking several bodies who need such kind of motivation to achieve something big in their lives. You must watch this movie if you're a fan of actual Indian cinema apart from that fancy and high budget vague story-lines.
