Let's be realistic.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Quite simply, Aazaan is meant to be an action thriller, and it does live up to that genre top some extent. Story is about a RAW agent Aazaan khan, who is sent to find the mastermind behind a deadly virus that is killing people around the world, who is also believed to have the cure. Aazaan also has been given the task of finding his missing brother who is believed to be linked with terrorists.The concept is weak-something that people nowadays are not very interested in.The editing is poor, for some scenes there is audio video mismatch(poor dubbing). Most actors are cheap. They should have used some standard actors. They have also tried to use the remarkable BOURNE type of action in this. Some scenes move too fast.But some of the action scenes in the movie are remarkable. So are the various locales where it was shot. Sachin Joshi does a good job. Songs are pretty good. You can watch this film. But perhaps if it had released at least 10 years before with a few FAMOUS actors, it would've done better.

I was trying to see it for a long time., Finally i made it today. For all those movie lovers its a must watch movie. People...you must watch this movie as it has got nice storyline. All though story gets loose here and there but it keeps you on the edge till the end. Best part of the movie is background score (I'm a frequent listener of Aazaan's songs)Awesome job by Salim - Suleiman and Salim merchant is awesome as usual for his songs. I wont forget this movie for one thing., Its expression less acting of Sachin (which was a turn off at times) but i'm sure he'll grow much more mature and good at his acting. Counting on you Sachin!! All N All, good movie. Love you all for reviewing this movie before me. Love you all movie lovers !!!!!

Azaan is an attempt to make a spy action thriller of Hollywood echelon and makers have partly succeeded in their job. The movie is shot exotically, and seems polished but misses out the real thrill element of an action thriller. Thanks to very poor screenplay, a viewer is never connected with the movie, and thus enjoys this stylish odyssey at a superficial level only.Sachin Joshi isn't apt choice for this movie. The actor, who is also the producer of the movie, is unfortunately, a big letdown. If he would have casted some veteran actor of Bollywood and invested good amount in publicity and marketing, and the movie would have turned a money making machine for him.Unfortunately, one of the most expensive movies of Bollywood (precisely 180 crores) will flop without notice of the people.I can easily summarize my experience of Azaan as follows.Good: Cinematography (arguably, the best that Bollywood has even seen) Background Score (Undoubtedly, the best that Bollywood has heard this year till date) Novel theme (biological warfare and undercover agent concept)Bad: Sachin Joshi's performance (and strictly okay performances from veterans like Dilip Tahil and Sajid Hassan due to scare scope) Scattered screenplay (probably the worst one for such a tight-edited movie)Nevertheless, I will watch this movie again, just to hear the background score by Salim – Sulaiman.

Aazaan. Have you ever heard of an Indian Spy traveling the world in micro seconds to save his country? Well Aazaan Khan is one such spy who travels the world, eradicates terror, finds out the answer to his confused life. Aazaan's mind-blowing cinematography, background score and the pace made me hooked onto the movie till a certain point which I wouldn't disclose as it is for you to find out. No, its not after the starting credits roll, can assure you that
Story- Aazaan Khan's parents were killed by a terrorist. Aazaan then takes revenge by killing them in his childhood. Seeing this his brother gets infatuated. He helps a terrorist group which is on a mission to kill India biologically. Aazaan by now is an Indian Spy, who wants his brother to return to the track of goodness and to finish terror. And as you know any Bollywood movie won't get over within minutes, Aazaan couldn't see itself behind. During his mission he meets Afreen (Candice Boucher) and her kid (Zara) whose blood works as an antidote for the Ebola virus. Aazaan and his quest to get the antidote, finish terror and bring his brother back from the hands of evil is what Prashant Chadha had to tell. No getting into further details here.Acting- Sachiin J Joshi has done a decent job as a debutant. Yes, polishing is needed in wide areas but has done justice to the role of Aazaan. Dialogue delivery and performing stunts was well accredited. Candice Boucher plays a sand artiste. Her presence is felt only for 15 minutes in the movie which makes her role unexplainable and gives out the impression of her character being forcefully added in the script. My favorite was Ravi Kissen who has done a tremendous job in the film. Both comic timing and getting the seriousness was superbly balanced. Other actors have also done well for their minute roles.To concise, Aazaan has a good blend of magnificent music and background score, credit to Salim - Sulaiman. Excellent cinematography by Axel Fischer brings a whole new paradigm to Bollywood film-making. Prashant Chadha's vision and the screenplay played a vital factor in keeping viewers hooked onto the movie. Yes, at some part it might just put you off but stunts and action are well portrayed. Regardless, go watch the movie only if the tickets cost Rs. 80 or Rs. 100 max. I'm not guaranteeing you all anything par excellence.My ratings- ***
