About Udaan Movie:

Udaan is a Hindi coming-of-age drama film directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, who co-wrote it with Anurag Kashyap. The film stars debutante Rajat Barmecha, Ronit Roy, Aayan Boradia, Ram Kapoor, Manjot Singh, and Anand Tiwari.

The film marks the directorial debut of Vikramaditya Motwane. It was produced by Sanjay Singh, Anurag Kashyap, and Ronnie Screwvala under their production companies Anurag Kashyap Films and UTV Spotboy respectively.

Vikramaditya Motwane wrote the script in 2003 but couldn’t find a producer. He co-wrote Anurag Kashyap’s Dev.D (2009), and Kashyap produced and co-wrote Udaan.

Newcomer Rajat Barmecha was cast as Rohan after several screen tests by casting director Jogi. Director Vikramaditya Motwane did not like his initial auditions, but Barmecha later improved and was chosen.

The film was shot in 42 days, with 39 days in Jamshedpur and 3 days in Shimla. The production crew included 13 students and 10 local actors. It was filmed on a super 16 mm film with sync sound.

Udaan premiered in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, and received a standing ovation; it was the first Indian film represented at Cannes in seven years. The film was also screened at the Giffoni Film Festival and the 2011 Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.

The film was released on July 16, 2010, to critical acclaim, but it underperformed at the box office. Udaan grossed ₹33.5 million from a production budget of ₹50 million. The film was released on DVD on September 14, 2010, and is available on Netflix.

At the 56th Filmfare Awards, the film received seven awards: Best Screenplay and Best Story (Motwane and Kashyap), Best Cinematography (Mahendra Shetty), Best Background Music (Trivedi), Best Supporting Actor (Male) (Roy), Best Sound Design Award (Kunam Sharma) and the Best Film (Critics) Award. In 2019, Film Companion ranked Roy’s performance second in their list of the 100 greatest performances of the decade.
