Azaad Opens to Mixed Reviews and Modest Box Office Debut

The period drama marks the Bollywood debut of Rasha Thadani and Aaman Devgan, with Ajay Devgn in a prominent role, but struggles with pacing and narrative cohesion.

Azaad earned ₹1.5 crore on its opening day in India, reflecting a modest start at the box office.
The film, directed by Abhishek Kapoor, explores themes of rebellion and freedom through a story centered on a black horse during India's pre-independence era.
Critics have highlighted the film's slow pacing, cliched storytelling, and lack of narrative depth, though some sequences involving the horse have been praised.
Rasha Thadani and Aaman Devgan, making their Bollywood debuts, received mixed feedback for their performances, with potential noted but room for improvement emphasized.
The film is expected to stream on Netflix following its theatrical run, though a release date has not yet been confirmed.
