Azaad review

The Free Press Journal's review of Azaad reads, "Aaman Devgan has done justice to the narrative while Rasha Thadani exudes ease and confidence. Senior Devgn, Diana Penty and Piyush Mishra elevate the narrative with their striking performances. Had the film been 15 minutes short, it would have heightened the impact of the tale. All in all, Azaad celebrates the beauty of simplicity and simple story telling without offering much innovation or more dimensions, even if you anticipate Azaad to gallop beyond the obvious terrain."
