Haddi

This film marked Akshat Ajay Sharma's directorial debut and while it was his first foray into filmmaking, it seemed that his confusion during the process mirrored the audience's experience. Both the director and the audience remains in a complete state of confusion during the good half of the movie. The movie commences in a disjointed manner, with scenes lacking coherence, often overlapping haphazardly. As the film reaches its midpoint, a flashback is introduced (although it remains baffling why filmmakers persist in using this tired method to reveal motives halfway through) and at that point, the narrative begins to make some semblance of sense. However, due to the lack of continuity throughout the film, despite the potential in the story and plot, the execution falls badly and a complete noose dive.

Regarding Nawazuddin, my advice would be to reconsider acting solely for the sake of friendship and instead thoroughly review scripts before committing to future projects.

The film begins with Harika's childhood, when she is forced to live as a boy because of her gender identity. She is bullied and abused by her classmates and teachers, and her own family rejects her. As she grows up, she becomes a prostitute and a body snatcher, but she never gives up hope of finding a place where she belongs.

When Harika meets Irfan (Ayyub), a kind-hearted NGO worker, she finally feels like she has found a home. However, Irfan is murdered by a group of land-grabbers, and Harika vows to get revenge. She joins a gang of transgender women and cross-dressers, and they set out to take down the land-grabbers.

Haddi is a gritty and violent film, but it is also a powerful story of resilience and hope. Nawazuddin Siddiqui gives a tour-de-force performance as Harika, and the film's supporting cast is also excellent. Verma's direction is assured, and he does a great job of capturing the harsh realities of life for transgender people in India.

Haddi is not a perfect film, but it is an important one. It is a rare film that tells the story of a transgender woman from her own perspective, and it does so with compassion and understanding. The film is a must-watch for anyone who wants to learn more about the transgender community and the challenges they face.

Some other things to keep in mind about the film:

The film's title, Haddi, means "bone" in Hindi. This is a reference to Harika's strength and resilience, as well as the violence that she experiences throughout the film.

The film is set in the murky world of Gurgaon and Noida, two satellite cities of Delhi. These cities are known for their rapid development and their growing inequality, which are both factors that contribute to the marginalization of transgender people.

The film features a diverse cast of transgender actors, including Aqsa Siddiqui, Anjali Lama, and Kalki Koechlin. This is a significant step forward for Indian cinema, which has traditionally been very underrepresented when it comes to transgender representation.

Overall, Haddi is a powerful and important film that is sure to spark conversation and debate. It is a must-watch for anyone who wants to learn more about the transgender community and the challenges they face.

I wish to appreciate Nawazuddin Siddiqui for his amazing performance. The movie shows its characterisation, plot, action in a very subtle way. You'll definitely love and praise the character of Arika in this movie. Also, you'll love Nawajuddin in action. His dialogue is impressive: "Main Nahin Marta".

Each and every character from the movie has performed very well and hence deserves our appreciation. This movie shows the life of 3rd gender and the way the society devalues it. The song Beparwa is also very good and suits all the takes throughout the movie. Nawajuddin's acting performance in all forms is impressive and praiseworthy.

LGBQT is handled very commercially. However, the story is 10 star. But the output wasn't that good. Editing is the worst. When only muteness was required they played a song.

There was some misunderstanding in audiences about era. 6 months ahead or 11 months back.

Moreover, lovestory of two gays is highly underated. They don't even feel like (on screen) that they are in love. Leave apart the tragedy and felt like comedy that happens.

Terrace scene, nuances, like why his friends start fighting is not well epicted.

But in the whole plot, Nawaz. Best performance.

Anurag, u r better as a director, don't act, don't play a villian next time.

Sameer lodaya

The makers have titled the movie haadi (bone) but the movie is totally bone less

The content is about revenge of a transgender whose entire world was destroyed by a politician for a land cause the execution was dull thus making the movie uninteresting and heavy on mind due to lot of violence.

Anurag was shockingly good Nawaz was little more and loud than required

Bad luck for this movie is taali series on transgender was already released though the content was different but people compare them.

I watched only for nawaz and apologise for bad review as I expected a lot and will keep expecting from the team to deliver a better quality product.
