Azaad review

The Hindustan Times review of the film read, "On to the debutants’ report card: both are raw, and it shows. There’s a lot of work left, but the two manage to leave a mark. Rasha, all of 19, has good presence on screen but needs to work on her emotional scenes. Aaman too has got the hang of dance and action, but he could do with some acting practice. Mohit Malik, already known on television, is being introduced with Azaad in films, and he fits the bill. Diana Penty’s track is half-baked. And Ajay looks like he shot for his portions in SS Rajamouli’s RRR and Azaad at the same time."

About Azaad

In a conversation with new agency ANI recently, Rasha shared her experience of working with horses in the film. "I think of horses as big puppies, and I love animals. When Azaad (the horse) entered the set, I immediately felt like hugging him. Working with animals in my first film was a huge deal for me."

Describing her character as "headstrong" and "fearless," Rasha had added, "My character is not afraid of anyone. She knows who she is and where she comes from. She is very determined and confident."
