Azharuddin, one of the most celebrated cricketer who is surrounded by match fixing controversy had his moments captured in the film. Movie Azhar depicts more of his personal life than his illustrious cricketing career. The court scene surrounding match fixing episode made out like a drama which could have been avoided.
Azhar’s eternal love for his grandfather, his middle class values and upbringing, his passion for the game and his lonely struggle in the court case to clear his name is well taken.
Azhar was left alone during his time of need is one of the highlighted takeaway from the movie, where a country’s captain is left alone by his fellow colleagues, well wishers, fans and countrymen shows the difficult side of being a celebrity and being ignored completely.
Sting operation conducted by one of the colleague with the help of bookies and match fixers brought to notice but the reason why Azhar took 1 crore from the so called M.K.Gupta is not explained! But, AZZA is back!
