User Reviews

Vibhu Puri’s ‘Hawaizaada’ is a highly ambitious, well-made film, but its uneven overall. A look at the life of scientist Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, this period piece is visually appealing, but too many songs & a stretched romantic-track, hit the film hard. ‘Hawaizaada’ is Based on the life on an Indian scientist Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, who is credited to have constructed India’s first unmanned plane is the tale of the hardships that he went through on the journey to discover. ‘Hawaizaada’ needed to be more about Talpade & his Mentor’s genius, rather than being a romantic-story about Talpade & his lady-love. Being a biopic, you except the film to be a detailed take on Talpade’s journey about the scientist that he was, not who he romanced. Also, there are too many songs in the film. In fact, the first-hour has a song popping up every 10-minutes. Vibhu Puri’s Screenplay has moments of power, when the film actually talks about Talpade’s ambition, but is mostly side-lined by its stilted romantic-track. Less of romance & more of drama would’ve made ‘Hawaizaada’ a biopic to reckon with. But sadly, that doesn’t happen here!
