Pragya Kapoor delved into the making of the film’s set and shared, “How can you make a film set more sustainable, and how can you make people more aware and more conscious about their choices? The backend team was really good and really attentive. They were making sure that everything goes for recycling and repurposing rather than to the landfills. I think that the team that really had to step up was the art department, following the vision of trying to make this film as sustainable as possible.”

Expanding Pragya’s vision about zero wastage on film sets, a film team member added, “Pragya was very clear from the beginning of the film – Let’s not do any wastage and let’s not use any materials which can harm the environment.”

Throughout the shoot, Azaad has made significant contributions towards saving the environment. 840 kg of vegetable peels and food materials were fed to stray animals in Bhopal. 784 kg of surplus food was distributed to people in nearby villages, and 1500 kg of leftover food was sent to a municipal composting plant in Bhopal. 3883.5 kg of organic waste was sent for composting in Jaipur, 589.8 kg of recyclables were sent to a recycling facility in Jaipur. 44780.8 litres of water was saved, 1267.64 kg CO2-eq emission, 1,387 litres of energy equivalent of petrol was saved. Besides this, they used materials like stones, sand, and grass, which are easily available and can wash off naturally.

Pragya Kapoor, an avid environmentalist, has ensured to do her bit in improving the environment, raising awareness about sustainability, all while inspiring everyone to follow suit. Meanwhile, Azaad marked the debut of Rasha Thadani and Aaman Devgn, and was directed by Abhishek Kapoor and produced by Pragya Kapoor and Ronnie Screwvala.

Set against the backdrop of the 1920s during British rule, the story revolves around Govind (Aaman Devgan), a young man from a small village who works at a stable owned by the oppressive zamindar Rai Bahadur (Piyush Mishra). Rai Bahadur’s younger daughter, Janaki (Rasha Thadani), develops a connection with Govind after a chance encounter at the stable. However, their bond leads Govind to rebel against the zamindar’s authority, forcing him to flee. Govind finds refuge with Vikram Singh (Ajay Devgn), a revolutionary with a tragic past involving his love, Kesar (Diana Penty), who was forcibly married to Rai Bahadur’s son, Tej Bahadur (Mohit Malik).

Central to the story is Azaad, Vikram’s cherished horse, who becomes a symbol of love and freedom. The narrative intertwines multiple relationships – Vikram and Azaad, Govind and Azaad, Vikram and Kesar, and Govind and Janaki – all set against the larger backdrop of rebellion against British rule and local feudal oppression.

While the premise holds promise, Azaad struggles to maintain momentum. The first half is particularly slow, despite Ajay Devgn’s commendable performance. The film’s themes of rebellion, discrimination against women, and the cruelty of zamindars are compelling but get lost in the scattered storytelling.

On the technical front, the film boasts excellent production design and cinematography, successfully capturing the period setting. The music is enjoyable, with the song Oui Amma standing out, giving Rasha Thadani a chance to showcase her dancing talent.

Performances are a mixed bag. Ajay Devgn is as reliable as ever, delivering a seamless performance. Aaman Devgan impresses with his action sequences and dancing but needs to work on his voice modulation. Rasha Thadani looks stunning and makes a strong impression despite limited screen time. Supporting actors Mohit Malik and Piyush Mishra lend solid performances that add weight to the narrative.

Despite its strengths, Azaad falters in pacing and coherence, making it difficult to fully engage with its emotional core. While the film shines in moments, it ultimately fails to gallop toward greatness.
