‘Udaan’: A journey of freedom and self-discovery

Released in 2010, this coming-of-age story swept the Indian film industry, garnering praise from critics and spectators alike.

One day, during my leisurely hours, I googled ‘films about writers.’ I skipped past many titles, but one in particular piqued my interest. There was a movie poster in which a young guy—about my age—is sprinting. The title read ‘Udaan’. Thinking the movie could be about striving to catch one’s dreams, I clicked on it. Out of a million mundane clicks I’ve made on my computer, this one really pleased my soul.
