JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

wvriend Udaan is one of the best Indian movies I've seen. It is moving, inspiring and engaging. Rohan, the 16 year old is expelled from boarding school and send back to his father who doesn't know how to give love. His former friends, his new little brother and his caring uncle feed the faint sparkle pursuing another life away from home might be possible. As the film is not set in the gutters of India, the story does not become too raw for the western stomach and the focus remains on the story. The movie well deserves a place in the top 250. I won't spoil too much. Go and watch!

Ronit once again proves that he is a great actor.Udaan is about chasing your dreams and living your life without any pressure.It shows human nature that everyone wants best for his children's future but doesn't really care what they want in life or what they are passionate about.Udaan won 7 awards at the 56th Filmfare Awards, more than any other film that year including best story.Watch this movie with your family. Overall I give it 8/10.

pratyush-03848 With the change in audience in the past decade or so, Bollywood has seen a change in stories as well as acting. Nowadays, Bollywood comes up with great plots along with great acting and directing. Udaan is one such film that is part of the recent change in Bollywood. It is the story of a boy, Rohan, who comes back home to his abusive father and unknown half-brother. From here the story takes off and keeps you engaged as what Rohan will do and cheer for him to take his Udaan (flight). The story is flawless and the acting is brilliant. Rajat Barmecha makes an extraordinary debut and wins the audience with his innocence and silent strength. Ram Kapoor plays a great supporting role as a loving Uncle. But the real star in Udaan is Ronit Roy, who plays the father and shows his acting prowess that was not seen in his previous soap operas. This is a film that I recommend every film fan to watch and you would not regret watching this future classic. The performances, along with an excellent screenplay as well as brilliant performances from everyone, Udaan is a film that no one should miss. If there was an equivalent list for Top 100 Cheers in India, I would put Udaan on the list. Go watch it, and enjoy.

krishnamoorthiniranjan The movie was totally predictable, Read the IMDb synopsis it says "Expelled from his school, a 16-year old boy returns home to his abusive and oppressive father." and the entire film is just about the abusive father beating up his two children drawn out for a long long long 2 hours.The film starts with the lead character sneaking out of the dormitory with a few friends (who are the rotten apples of the school)to watch a B grade film while smoking cigarettes and they get caught and get suspended.The film ends with the lead character returning back to the bad company (who have now evolved from smoking cigarettes to chasing women) along with his young step brother (poor fellow) and the film makers want you to believe he has ""flown" to a better life.The lead character wants to be a writer and the Hitler dad wants him to take over his factory instead. (So-over used)There are a few scenes where the main character hangs out with these bullies turned friends which seems totally out of place. Who were they? why were they shown? Does nothing to improve the story.The ending was very predictable the name gives it away I knew the end after watching 5 mins of the movie but the ending doesn't give the impression he has flown to a better life thanks to the numerous plot holes .I generally don't watch Bollywood but people said this was a unique movie, totally disappointed and I now have a head ache after watching this awful movie. 1/10
