Azhar is a superficial look at the life of one of the most enigmatic and intriguing sporting stars this country has ever seen. It is an opportunity lost.

An awful production, even by Balaji's fluctuating standards.

Emraan bears no physical resemblance to Azharruddin. However his mannerisms-the blinking of his eyes and swagger add to a knockout performance. Watch Azhar for him.

Mohammed Azharuddin's much anticipated biopic is an underwhelming, face-saving exercise where one of the hottest sporting stories is relegated to formulaic heroism and courtroom antics.

If you are expecting Hashmi to deliver a captain's innings here, then you are looking up the wrong film.

Azhar is a botched opportunity to present a nuanced portrait of one of Indian cricket's most enigmatic figures.

Azhar is an interesting sports drama based on the life of cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin. Emraan Hashmi delivers a solid performance and shows both the highs and lows of his career. The movie mixes cricket, personal struggles, and emotional moments well. The story keeps you engaged, though some parts feel dramatic. Overall, it is an entertaining watch for cricket fans.

Could have finished an hour quicker if it wasn't so stretched out. The film doesn't have much else to offer than what you've seen in the trailer already.

"Azhar" doesn't fixate completely on the cricketer's personal or professional life. It is sheer Bolly-mash inspired from a few real-life incidents. There is neither the dramatic flair, nor the thrills. Songs are the only savior here (along with an okayish Emraan Hashmi), but they too did not necessarily drive the story any further and ended up as mere filler.
