उड़ान (2010)

Udaan is a movie that portrays the middle class Indian society and its stigmatic approach to things with honesty and prefection
Rajat Barmecha portrays the role of an Indian teenager who gets kicked out of his boarding school when he is caught watching an adult film. As a result of his suspension, he is arrives home to his dictator father and is surprised to know that he has a step brother. He is forced to study engineering and work with his father despite his pronounced interest in poetry. He finds solace in his uncle and a group of friends he forms at a local bar.
Ronit Roy is absolutely phenomenal as the "Hitler dad" and invokes fear and disgust at the same time. Ram Kapoor acts well in his role of the supportive uncle who is also subjected to the taunts of his brother. Aayan Boradia portrays the role of the younger brother with innocence. But what really sets this movie apart is some moments and scenes which are so real that they touch your heart be it the conversations between the father and son or the conversation between the brothers, be it the drunk conversations of Rohan with his friends or stealing the car to have fun everything is very real. Vikramaditya Motwane uses the background score and the scenery to great effect as he shows despair and ultimately hope rising from despair with apt scenery and background score to describe both situations. A special mention to the poems which Rohan recites. These poems are beautifully written and perfectly deliver the movie's message. The only problem which I can find is the pace at which this movie goes and it could have been faster. But the ending makes up for all of it as it leaves you inspired and happy.
