Review:
Udaan is a heart-warming tale with a great storytelling.
The movie has its own moment, particularly the evolution of the relantionship between the two brothers. All the main actors made a superb job on acting their own characters.
The director has an ability to present melodramatic material without the Bollywood-style melodrama. He shrewdly has his actors underplay, especially Aayan Boradia, the adorable little boy who portrays Arjun.
Udaan looks authentic and is easy to relate to and yet it has an impressive larger-than-life quality to it that makes wonders.
In some scenes, you too will have the need of "flying out of the cage" and pursue your dreams. It's filled with those moments that will be with you for some time to come.

Personal Rating: 8/10
