Admya Bhalla and director Akshat Ajay Sharma collaborated on the film, and it commendably avoids delving into the sensitive topic of eunuch rights or portraying them as helpless. It treats its characters with care while delivering a potent message against those who pose a threat. However, the frequent shifts between the past and present weaken the story. The film starts with a flurry of events and names, making it challenging to follow. Viewers must commit to memory, but as the plot unfolds, the characters gradually become more recognizable. Just as the story gains momentum, it meanders among inconsequential characters. The narrative advances for several months leading up to the climax, yet it fails to explore the significant transformation of Bone as he establishes his own party. This leaves numerous unanswered questions in the film's conclusion, as the editing lacks cohesion. Nonetheless, the film excels in depicting the beautifully portrayed love story between Irrfan and Haddi. Nawazuddin Siddiqui, known for his experimental roles, continues to impress with his portrayal of a transgender woman, demonstrating a deep understanding of her mannerisms and speech. The emotional impact when Haddi's family reacts to Pramod's death through clapping is both poignant and heart-wrenching. Saurabh Sachdeva's performance as Inder feels authentic from the very beginning. Anurag Kashyap falls short in his negative role, with repetitive facial expressions throughout. Ila Arun as Revathi Amma and Mohammad Zeeshan Ayub as Irrfan have limited screen time and incomplete character development. The song "Beparda" aptly suits the film's context.

Great film. A must watch. Anurag's acting just pleased my eyes. Nawaz is superb as always. Whoever is commenting about story and approach of the film please guys let the director have his own artistic approach. Buildup is good,you can feel the intensity. Zeeshan ayub is also good in a short role. The graphics can be better,cuts can be better. Directors can dig some more into the story telling. A good film with the best actors. Anurag did his job. Don't listen to the critics just go for the film you will enjoy it surely. Transgender people can be shown in a better way with some more convincing story telling.

Streaming now on Zee5, "Haddi" unveils a seldom-told tale of a transgender woman, brought to life with unmatched prowess by the magnetic Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Directed by the visionary Akshat Ajay Sharma and penned by Adamya Bhalla and Sharma himself, this cinematic gem delves deep into a world shrouded in mystery, set against the contrasting backdrops of Gurgaon and Noida. Siddiqui's portrayal of Haddi, or Harika, is a masterclass in acting. With nuanced body language and a captivating screen presence, he paints a vivid picture of a character torn between rage and vulnerability. The delicate balance in his performance, never overstepping or understating, deserves applause. While the film's initial sequences are intense, providing a raw glimpse into an uncharted territory, it truly shines when it compassionately showcases the life of its protagonist from her unique perspective. Supporting Siddiqui, the ensemble cast, including luminaries like Anurag Kashyap, Ila Arun, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, add layers to the narrative, making the story resonate even more. However, as engrossing as the narrative is, one can't help but feel that a talent like Siddiqui's deserved an even more profound script. His portrayal is the film's crowning glory, and fans of the actor will surely be in for a treat. In conclusion, "Haddi" is more than just a film; it's an exploration of identity, society's shadows, and the power of self-realization. It beckons viewers to not just watch but to truly see and understand.

First of all I would like to say that this movie will engage you from very start to end. Movie's climax is excellent. In the first half it might take time to understand the story but after 1st half story reveals step by step, people who are saying that nothing new in this movie. I will say to those haters that one can never direct this movie better than this director. This director has all the abilities to show the simple story on screens with lot of suspense, twist and turns, dark scenes. Nawazuddin acting is not a cup of tea of every actor. Song "beparda" is the heart of movie. "PAISA WASOOL"

Haddi is a story of revenge about getting justice for the loss of your loved one. This story is also a stoy of transgender community, their journey, their struggles, their everyday challenges that they face. It is also a story of fight for survival. If you stand weak, you will get devourved. Very nice acting of trangender community by Nawazzudin Siddiqui and also the character of Haddi. Very nice acting by also the villain Anurag Kashyap and other senior leader the trangender members respect- Amma charcter played by Ila Arun. I also liked th acting of Saurabh Sachdeva, Rajesh KUmar and Shreedhar Dubey. LOvely acting by all the cast. This movie was an interesting watch. Made me emotional in some scenes too. I loved watching this movie. Recommend you to watch this. I rate Haddi 10 stars on 10. Why is this movie named Haddi I won't reveal it will be the spoiler. You need to watch out to know. EMotional as well as thriller movie. Keeps you hooked. It is also a love story and a family angele is also there you shouldnt miss out.

This film marked Akshat Ajay Sharma's directorial debut and while it was his first foray into filmmaking, it seemed that his confusion during the process mirrored the audience's experience. Both the director and the audience remains in a complete state of confusion during the good half of the movie. The movie commences in a disjointed manner, with scenes lacking coherence, often overlapping haphazardly. As the film reaches its midpoint, a flashback is introduced (although it remains baffling why filmmakers persist in using this tired method to reveal motives halfway through) and at that point, the narrative begins to make some semblance of sense. However, due to the lack of continuity throughout the film, despite the potential in the story and plot, the execution falls badly and a complete noose dive. Regarding Nawazuddin, my advice would be to reconsider acting solely for the sake of friendship and instead thoroughly review scripts before committing to future projects.

Haddi is a crime drama film directed by akshat ajay sharma. Nawazuddin siddique leads the ship here and he leads it superbly. Basically, a double role of sorts, he manages to distinguish both his character from one another. Specially in the role of harika, he is the most impressive, he is soft, vulnerable and exudes the female nuances beautifully. Among the cast, other characters do not get much space. Mohd. Zeeshan ayyub still manages to make us feel for his character. Anurag kashyap has been typecasted as the wacky but not menacing enough. He is decent. Saurabh sachdeva is a force to reckon with despite not getting much space. The film opens with a great scene. You only hear a kidnapping taking place, but the film still rolling out its opening credits. And the sound design keeps you hooked. I got excited by what was going to come but was disappointed. After the first 15-20 minutes, the film fizzles out. The montages of haddi getting involved in the factory chores are dull and uninteresting. The film revives itself when the phase of gharana comes. The chemistry between harika and irfan works. The song 'beparwah' by rekha bharadwaj does wonders during the castration process of harika. The emotional touches are good. The film also solidifies its take on its perception of the transgender community. It treats them with a soft visual lens and lots of empathy. But after the slaughter carries out, the film reverts back to the dullness it entertained in its initial phases. It had a spark when the haddi black market was shed light upon, but there was do development further. A very interesting topic just wasted for a revenge arc. It had some technical strongpoints to hold up. The sound design is very good. The lynching, cutting, butchering is vividly recorded. The cinematography is good. The music is surprisingly good. The bgm works, its eerie and eccentric. The way in which this film incorporates the mahabharata and the story of mohini and iravan is fascinating. I wished it fleshed it out more. This film mainly falters due to its lagging screenplay, and lack of space to its supporting cast. Still, its a good film to watch. I rate it 8 out of 10.

The film begins with Harika's childhood, when she is forced to live as a boy because of her gender identity. She is bullied and abused by her classmates and teachers, and her own family rejects her. As she grows up, she becomes a prostitute and a body snatcher, but she never gives up hope of finding a place where she belongs. When Harika meets Irfan (Ayyub), a kind-hearted NGO worker, she finally feels like she has found a home. However, Irfan is murdered by a group of land-grabbers, and Harika vows to get revenge. She joins a gang of transgender women and cross-dressers, and they set out to take down the land-grabbers. Haddi is a gritty and violent film, but it is also a powerful story of resilience and hope. Nawazuddin Siddiqui gives a tour-de-force performance as Harika, and the film's supporting cast is also excellent. Verma's direction is assured, and he does a great job of capturing the harsh realities of life for transgender people in India. Haddi is not a perfect film, but it is an important one. It is a rare film that tells the story of a transgender woman from her own perspective, and it does so with compassion and understanding. The film is a must-watch for anyone who wants to learn more about the transgender community and the challenges they face. Some other things to keep in mind about the film: The film's title, Haddi, means "bone" in Hindi. This is a reference to Harika's strength and resilience, as well as the violence that she experiences throughout the film. The film is set in the murky world of Gurgaon and Noida, two satellite cities of Delhi. These cities are known for their rapid development and their growing inequality, which are both factors that contribute to the marginalization of transgender people. The film features a diverse cast of transgender actors, including Aqsa Siddiqui, Anjali Lama, and Kalki Koechlin. This is a significant step forward for Indian cinema, which has traditionally been very underrepresented when it comes to transgender representation. Overall, Haddi is a powerful and important film that is sure to spark conversation and debate. It is a must-watch for anyone who wants to learn more about the transgender community and the challenges they face.
