Haddi

LGBQT is handled very commercially. However, the story is 10 star. But the output wasn't that good. Editing is the worst. When only muteness was required they played a song.

There was some misunderstanding in audiences about era. 6 months ahead or 11 months back.

Moreover, lovestory of two gays is highly underated. They don't even feel like (on screen) that they are in love. Leave apart the tragedy and felt like comedy that happens.

Terrace scene, nuances, like why his friends start fighting is not well epicted.

But in the whole plot, Nawaz. Best performance.

Anurag, u r better as a director, don't act, don't play a villian next time.

Rating 6 this movie only the great performance of Nawazudin .. movie has no story line neither well directed ....Mr. Siddiqui gave his best but it was not enough I guess . Watched this movie only for Nawazudin . As I read few reviews here which has a point that as a great actor Mr. Siddiqui should chose his roles for movies or series very carefully . This movie is just a waste of his talents and waste of viewers time .

Hope for something good to watch more of Mr. Siddiqui ... Dont waste your time watching this ...... I guess series Taali came out same time which collasped this movie and talent.

I wish to appreciate Nawazuddin Siddiqui for his amazing performance. The movie shows its characterisation, plot, action in a very subtle way. You'll definitely love and praise the character of Arika in this movie. Also, you'll love Nawajuddin in action. His dialogue is impressive: "Main Nahin Marta".

Each and every character from the movie has performed very well and hence deserves our appreciation. This movie shows the life of 3rd gender and the way the society devalues it. The song Beparwa is also very good and suits all the takes throughout the movie. Nawajuddin's acting performance in all forms is impressive and praiseworthy.

Admya Bhalla and director Akshat Ajay Sharma collaborated on the film, and it commendably avoids delving into the sensitive topic of eunuch rights or portraying them as helpless. It treats its characters with care while delivering a potent message against those who pose a threat.

However, the frequent shifts between the past and present weaken the story. The film starts with a flurry of events and names, making it challenging to follow. Viewers must commit to memory, but as the plot unfolds, the characters gradually become more recognizable.

Just as the story gains momentum, it meanders among inconsequential characters. The narrative advances for several months leading up to the climax, yet it fails to explore the significant transformation of Bone as he establishes his own party.

This leaves numerous unanswered questions in the film's conclusion, as the editing lacks cohesion. Nonetheless, the film excels in depicting the beautifully portrayed love story between Irrfan and Haddi.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui, known for his experimental roles, continues to impress with his portrayal of a transgender woman, demonstrating a deep understanding of her mannerisms and speech.

The emotional impact when Haddi's family reacts to Pramod's death through clapping is both poignant and heart-wrenching. Saurabh Sachdeva's performance as Inder feels authentic from the very beginning.

Anurag Kashyap falls short in his negative role, with repetitive facial expressions throughout. Ila Arun as Revathi Amma and Mohammad Zeeshan Ayub as Irrfan have limited screen time and incomplete character development. The song "Beparda" aptly suits the film's context.

This film marked Akshat Ajay Sharma's directorial debut and while it was his first foray into filmmaking, it seemed that his confusion during the process mirrored the audience's experience. Both the director and the audience remains in a complete state of confusion during the good half of the movie. The movie commences in a disjointed manner, with scenes lacking coherence, often overlapping haphazardly. As the film reaches its midpoint, a flashback is introduced (although it remains baffling why filmmakers persist in using this tired method to reveal motives halfway through) and at that point, the narrative begins to make some semblance of sense. However, due to the lack of continuity throughout the film, despite the potential in the story and plot, the execution falls badly and a complete noose dive.

Regarding Nawazuddin, my advice would be to reconsider acting solely for the sake of friendship and instead thoroughly review scripts before committing to future projects.
