The movie is too busy dodging potential lawsuits, but they may pile up regardless, despite referring to several characters only by their first names (“Manoj”, “Kapil”, “Javed”). Azhar is a botched opportunity to present a nuanced portrait of one of Indian cricket’s most enigmatic figures. The refusal to face up to its true identity is actually the least of this movie’s problems. However a 131-minute film that traces the cricketer’s childhood, his early achievements, eventful tenure as the Indian cricket captain, the romantic dalliance that makes headlines, and the scandal that taints him for life cannot be called anything but that. Written by Rajat Aroraa and directed with consistent ineptitude by Tony D’Souza, Azhar pretends to be anything but a biopic. There is no doubt about the identity of the character being portrayed by Emraan Hashmi: a gifted batsman with the magic wrists who has Mohammed and Azhar in his name, hails from Hyderabad, leads the Indian cricket team, leaves his wife Naureen for the actress Sangita Bijlani, and becomes an outcast after being banned by the Board of Control for Cricket in India and the International Cricket Council for throwing away matches.
