Well the movie combines India’s two hot and happening topics

i.e. movies and cricket. And! It is said to be a bio-pic while it is 

not.

 STORY PLOT:

 The story plot revolves around a Hyderabad lad Mohammad Azharuddin (Emraan Hashmi) who is an idol cricketer in the 80-90s. He has been one of the most controversial indian cricket captains.

He was an awesome batsman as well as skipper. Azhar’s grandfather (kulbhushan Kharbanda) had seen a dream for him that he would play 100 matches, a dream which was broken at 99 tests. Azhar is all messed up with is love and marital life.A laughable thing in the life of such a renowned cricketer his first wife Naureen(Prachi Desai), rouge and distressed does not have any idea about his second wife, film industry’s charm,Sangeeta (Nargis Fakhri).And an icing on the top, the man claims to love both of them equally. Then the so called cricketer’s thing happens and Azhar gets into match fixing. He got trapped. Obviously he was allowed for legal recourse.Courtroom drama takes place. At some point of time the court did overturn the ban but it was too late until then. His dream of playing 100 matches remained unfulfilled and the skipper was banned after 99 tests.Other two characters Lara Dutta as the lawyer of cricket council and reddy (kunal), who fought the case from Azhar’s side are a oomph to the movie. He does makes other cricketer friends, who don’t turn out at the end when he needed them.

REVIEW:

 Ofcourse like every other Bollywood movie there’s a lot of masala added to the bio-pic. Oops! Its not a bio-pic. It’s a clash of Azhar’s shy nature and the romanticist of B-town. Gangsters have awesomely done their part in the 131 minute ride. The director Tony D’ Souza has over-dramatised the movie giving the scandal a spin that gives the movie an interesting watch. The dialogue writer Rajat Arora wants to make us believe that there is much more than philandering, spendthrift image behind the introvert skipper. The movie’s filled up with all living room and court room to and fros. The songs are awesome and worth listening. The two heart-throbbing singers Arijit Singh and Armaan Malik have done their magic with the songs ‘Bol do na zara’ and ‘Itni si baat h’. All in all, the movie is a lavishing cocktail, which you wouldn’t want to put down without giving a try. 

You should watch this movie for Azhar.
