Preview: Udaan (2010)

Synopsis:

Having left the boarding school to return home, a young writer finds himself forced by his domineering father to work at the steel factory and study engineering while trying to find a way out.

• Poster: C-

Review:

The image of a young man running fits the theme of the film, but the graffiti/pop culture iconography seems at odds with the concept, at least with what's presented in the trailer.

• Trailer: C

Review:

It's a haphazard trailer that tries very hard to make the film look like it's about something without saying anything. And the hope/fear/dream tags towards the end of the trailer only conjure up images of Where the Wild Things Are, which used almost the same verbiage. Not a very original way to create a trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
