Rarely in Bollywood biopics look so real, Normally we are accustomed to seeing bollywood biopics with song and dance and all, Shahid however tries very much to be real. Hansal Mehta after several rubbish films comes back with a striker. The film tries to depict the life of Shahid Azmi who was killed in 2010. The film starts off well to the point, but the entire Kashmir episode could be dealt with more importance as it looks too abrupt, but the rest of the film, the way he becomes a lawyer and till the end are really superb. However the romantic track does distract though it is necessary yet thankfully it isn't too filmy.The climax does seem a bit abrupt but otherwise the film does full justice to the subject.
Hansal Mehta surprises everyone with a brilliant concept and superb handling
Rajkumar Yadav who started off doing small roles in Shaitan, Talaash and a lead in Ragini MMS and of course Kai Po Che finally proves that he is indeed here to stay if anyone has doubts, he is simply amazing, his unconventional looks and dialect suit the role perfectly, his expressions are really outstanding. Prabhleen Sandhu is perfect as Mariam though her role is not too demanding yet she gives a superb performance. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub as Arif Azmi is really superb yet again after Jannat 2 and Ranjhanaa, he is here to stay. The film has cameos by KK Menon and Tigmanshu Dhulia and both are perfect, Prabal Panjabi known for his comic roles in Mujhse Fraandship Karoge and Mere Dad Ki Maruti stuns everyone with an understated performance The others mostly unknown faces give natural performances too.
