I have always wondered why do miss out to nominate films like SHAHID, Madras Cafe or BA Pass in Indian awards. Fortunately, I was lucky to watch SHAHID and it blew away my mind with incomparable direction and stupendous performances.
Based on the life of lawyer and social activist Shahid Azmi, SHAHID gives real-time events which changed the life of an innocent boy to a social activist who was only committed to fight for justice.
It takes courage and guts to make a movie like SHAHID. The movie opens with a bang with torture scene giving you goose-bumps. As the movie progress, you will be sucked into the film. The court-drama, romantic track and even the climax sequences are definitely the highlight of the film. Full credit should be given to Hansal Mehta for finally coming out with sensible film after year of delivering flops. Screenplay is tight. Art direction and cinematography is simple yet powerful. Raj Kumar Yadav gives his career-best performance. He fits into the character of Shahid Azmi as if it is tailor-made for him. Prabhleen Sandhu and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub lends in good support.
Shahid is definitely 2013's most under-rated film. Excellent 4.5/5
