उड़ान (2010)

Udaan is a heart touching story about a boy Rohan, who is expelled from his boarding school. He returns home and meets his rigorous alcoholic dad, Bhairav Singh; who never in last eight years came to meet him in his boarding school. He also comes to know that he has a six years old brother about whom he never knew. This story is about Bhairav Singh’s attempts to strangle Rohan in chains, and Rohan’s zest to break free. Watching this movie is like reading a beautiful poetry; watch it to find out

This is a #mustWatch for all those who want the best movie to uplift your depressed souls. It would make you #feelGood about yourself and your life. Though this movie is quite #offbeat and very #slowPaced yet it was able to become #thoughtProvoking and #inspiring for many of the viewers. This movie highlights the story of a child who is abused and is always kept under pressure by his father. But the end is quite shocking and satisfying at the same time when both the protagonist and his brother escape from the claws of their father and that proved that we have to get out of the nutshell even if it was our parents who forced us in it; sometimes we need to take the matters in our own hands. Under the directorship of Vikramaditya Motwane this film won the Filmfare Award for Best Story

Udaan is about everything-Parenting,Dreams,Family,values,Feelings,Youth just everything!! This movie is about Rohan who is a young and intelligent guy with dream and passion and basically his dad Bhairav Singh.The movie is very heart touching and beautiful in its own way.This is something which gives your mind peace at the ending.Few scenes in the movie make you really calm n provoke u to think about yourself.I believe The movie has multi layers and it is just not about son and his dad.It is also about how we choose to live,obstacles and how we beat them.Every Indian Family should watch this movie atleast once.

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.

People think great movies are made by great directors and not by newcomers and new actors. They don't know in a country like India where their is such a great magnitude of tallent, each day a new name comes into limelight and steals the show.
Udaan was a masterpiece. Shot in 42 days, 39 days in Jamshedpur and 3 days in Shimla. The message movie conveyed still touches my heart. Creating such a great movie in such a short time director, Vikramaditya Motwane deserves an applaud. The movie won 13 awards and got nominated 21 times for the best movie of 2010.
The person whose acting touched everyone was Ronit Roy as Bhairav Singh. His acting was even better than most of the so called stars in our industry, comparable to Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio for me. His aggression looked so real. As a cruel father he was really cruel. Rajat Barmecha as Rohan Singh was again a surprise package. He had a bit of acting experience but limited to advertisements. No one could've played the role of the protagonist better than him.
The movie earned 30 crores even after being a low budget movie, still it deserved more. Why Indians don't watch such movie please? Guys, there is more outside the world of item songs, action, love stories, etc which far more meaningful and great.
Big actors should always make such movies in India.
I had thought to give it a 4 but .5 extra for its inspiring good music, now i will give it a 4.5. BANG.
