I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

It's not the most original movie but its got a nice progresiveness to it. It has good acting and not a very bollywoodesque style directing which makes it a little more interesting for me.Very tough single father trying to control his 2 sons' lives but the older one is a rebel.

Superb Movie. Very nice debut role of Rajat Barmecha and a very good script. There are few movies which touches the heart and brings little fear but strong feeling and this is the one of the Bollywood's best inspiring movie. Fabulous. Good to see Ram Kapoor and Rnoit Roy together in this movie.

All I can says is "Wow" to the makers of this film. I saw this movie recently and was glued to the screen throughout. The story is a well paced, coming of age in a very real life like situation,of a young boy. The acting is superb and the direction/screenplay is excellent. The most memorable of all is the beautiful piano music played in the background during poignant scenes. The tinkling of the piano keys is still stuck in my head even after a week or so. The last climax scene is most uplifting and brings tears of hope and happiness to one's eyes.This isn't a typical Bollywood dance and song film. It is more in the lines of international film making style and anyone could watch and relate to it. Watch it once to see what I mean. Cheers to Vikramaditya and Anurag Kashyap for daring to make a very unlikely "hit" film in Bollywood.

There are few films on father-son in Bwood, KAASH(1987), AKELE HUM AKELE TUM(1995) are some of them. UDAAN released in 2010 when rubbish films like Golmaal 3 were superhits, UDAAN got critical acclaim but flopped at the BO sadly The film however was selected at Cannes and got cult status plus some awards. The film is treated in a superb manner, it starts off with the hero(Rajat Barmecha) getting expelled as he was watching a movie bunking school, then he comes to his house in Jamshedpur where he is treated harshly by his father Ronit Roy. the whole film deals with his trials and tribulations and leaves a huge impact. TZP is one of the best child based films in India, but UDAAN is also superb and less commercial. There are several superb scenes: The spat between Ronit and Rajat in Ram Kapoor's house, the clash between Rajat and his step brother, Ronit Roy confronting Rajat after knowing of his results, Ronit making Rajat race every morning, Ronit Roy- Ram Kapoor clash scene and outburst of Rajat and the climax The film at 2:20 hours run time is superb though at times it does get slow paced but the handling is deftDirection by Vikramaditya Motwane is superb Music is superb and is used as background score and blends wellRonit Roy made a terrible debut in Bollywood with JAAN TERE NAAM(1993) which was a runaway hit though, he played younger brother to Ajay Devgn in the flop HULCHUL(1995) and then moved to TV and won stardom with Kasauti and some shows He is back in UDAAN and leaves a terrific impact The film is a perfect showreel for him and he makes the best of it Rajat is superb too in his role, he is a welcome addition in the list of talented child artists Ram Kapoor is delightful in his role, recently seen in itsy bitsy roles in EMAT and Agent Vinod, he has a meaty role and does a great job Amongst his friends in school Manjot Singh is funny and all are good too The film casts most unknown films and all leave a mark Rajat's step brother too is a natural
