Udaan movie :
Using a pacing that stays reflective and internalized, Udaan starts in a hill-town boarding school. Four playful adolescent students sneak out late evening to watch an adult movie, where their warden sees them. The four are expelled the following day. As they part and bid goodbye, the underlying fear is one of uncertainty. What will happen to these young, spirited rebels? Where will they head in life?
The more sensitive among them, Rohan, who is an aspiring poet, is totally in the dark about what awaits him. He is sent to his father, whom he has not seen in the past eight years, who lives in the dull industrial town of Jamshedpur. On arriving, Rohan learns that he has a forlorn eight-year-old brother with whom he must share a room. His father is a bullish misfit carrying massive grudges against life, which he takes out on the two siblings. At first, the openly resentful Rohan accepts his drab life. But when his right to an education and resolve to be a writer are squashed, he revolts by indulging in sly midnight capers.
The father-son conflict reaches a climax which helps Rohan break free and launch out on his own, showing humanity and courage that is laudable. The casting is brilliant and the actors pitch their roles with conviction. Particularly striking is Rajat Barmecha as the defiant yet dreamy 17- yearold. The child actor Aayan Boradia pulls at heartstrings as the downcast and bereft little son. Udaan in Cannes has made a head start.
