Written by Rajat Arora, "Azhar" is a sport drama film, based on the life of former Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin. The movie is a fictionalised dramatic representation of some important incidents and facts that happened in the life of the cricketer. The film focuses on his love life and family more than his sport. Its brilliant script, which is engaging, is the highlight of the film.
Emraan Hashmi plays the title role in "Azhar" and audience have said that it is tailor-made for him. He has delivered a brilliant performance, which is the main highlight of the movie. Prachi Desai and Nargis Fakhri, who have played his two wives, have done justice to their roles. Lara Dutta, Gautam Gulati, Manjot Singh and others have done their jobs well.
Azhar has been produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor and Sony Pictures Networks and has decent production values. Amaal Mallik and Pritam's music and Rakesh Singh's camera work are big attractions in the technical front, say the viewers. We bring to you some film goers' verdict shared on Twitter. Here is the live update of "Azhar" movie review by audience:

Tony D'souza's #Azhar is brilliantly engaging,excellent writing of Rajat Arora n career defining performance by Emraan makes it a Must watch Emraan delivers his career best performance in #Azhar. He not only captures d physical nuances,he captures d Unique Spirit of Azharuddin!! As I drive back home,I'm taking many remnants of Emraan's classic performance in #Azhar.Endearing,heartbreaking,stoic,romantic.Wow!! Prachi looks angelic n her performance carries a lot of character n grace.She does something in #Azhar that she has nevr done b4.First rate! Nargis is delightfully gorgeous n adds a lot of emotional quotient to her performance.Her glam appeal is eminently watchable #Azhar #Azhar is engaging story telling at its best.Tears,romance,drama,humor,superb writing-direction n Rocking Emraan...U don't wanna miss this!

Just saw #Azhar & still cant get over the brilliance of @emraanhashmi His best performance till date. This one is sure to stump you! This one is probably the most entertaining innings played by #Azhar @azharflicks you win hearts all over again. Respect! The 3rd empire which is the audience is sure to lap up this entertainer. Congrats @EkmainaurEktu7 @SnehaRajani & #tonydsouza A special mention to @ItsPrachiDesai for delivering a difficult character with such ease & èlan ... This is one step further to your glory! Final last word about the man @emraanhashmi ... He is back & how? Brilliant portrayal of @azharflicks and is bar balla bolega. Superhit!

I watched #Azhar because I like Azhar. And curious about what really happened. I am a fan of biopics. Here are my 2 observations. #Azhar is a pro-Azhar film. At the end, it shows him in positive light and in a sympathetic way. #Azhar and Sangeetha love episodes are mushy and emotional. Not the kind of spicy and practical fling we usually expect!

Just watched #Azhar & what a film!!! Outstanding!!! Nothing can stop it from becoming a blockbuster!!!! @emraanhashmi @EkmainaurEktu7 #Azhar is a must watch film. @emraanhashmi 's best performance ever. Nothing can stop his nomination as best actor this year!!! .... #Azhar proves what an outstanding writer does to a film. @rajatsaroraa I bow my head in respect to your talent. Outstanding dialogues!!!

I wudve preferred better casting esepcially for the secondary characters but #azhar has enough masala if your looking for it .@emraanhashmi pulls the swag of #azhar with ease and @ItsPrachiDesai is so vulnerable u feel like hugging her #azhar sadly wat stood out like a sore thumb for me was the production design and attention to detail #velcropads in 1983? no feel of the time as a friend said masala bahut hai chalegi .. only look aur feel of 1980s aur 90s ka nahi hai but the second half culminates well #Azhar

Just saw #Azhar. What an entertaining film. @emraanhashmi has really flicked this one out of the park. 6 on 5!
Jahnavi Patel â€@Janhvi_Pari
#NargisFakhri is perfectly cast as #SangeetaBijlani in #Azhar as both are bombshells, fun to talk to, have mixed parentage, & CANNOT ACT! #Azhar d less said d better. Watch it ONLY if u are an #EmraanHashmi fan &/or a #MohammadAzharuddin fan Wish Kunal Deshmukh was d director

#Azhar is simply the most entertaining film of this year till now. @emraanhashmi 's career best. Highly recommended #Azhar has all the ingredients of being a BLOCKBUSTER. The best thing about the film is @emraanhashmi 's performance.

Adi â€@AdityaKerkar1
#Azhar is a good movie because Emraan Hashmi has acted brilliantly. However the story remains ambiguous!
Mangesh Mehenge â€@Mangesh_mv
The movie is nothing but justifying fixing extra marital affair and proving #Azhar innocent.. Such a shame
