Hawaizaada movie review: what critics say (28)
What critics say Critics are largely negative: 2 of 27 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 21 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the performances, the direction and the visuals. Criticised: the script.
This could have been a greatly imaginative flight of fancy, but it is anything but. For a film that is about the joy of flying, Hawaizaada fails to sprout any wings.
Read the full reviewVibhu has designed Hawaizaada to be an all-purpose vehicle that has romance, comedy and drama . But the writing is flat and the telling, clumsy. Ayushmann, who is in nearly every frame, trembles with fervour. Mithun matches him.
Lost in Translation is what best describes Hawaizaada best. What started off as a biopic turns into a sobbing love tale that you wouldn't want to watch. Read up on the scientist instead.
Read the full reviewIt breaks my heart to see so much money, time and effort being spent on building such massive gorgeous sets for a film that doesn't have much to tell.
Read the full reviewSo many negatives makes it difficult to take Hawaizaada seriously as a liberally-altered biopic. Honestly, I got onto the plane, but after a few minutes, I was frantically looking for a parachute to escape.
Read the full reviewHawaizaada is jingoistic, melodramatic, naïve, and often illogical.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
