Hawaizaada

Hawaizaada makes an astonishing claim, one that the makers of the movie admit they cannot prove. It says that eight years prior to the hullabaloo that surrounded the achievement of the Wright Brothers, there was an airplane that took off from a Mumbai beach - in 1895. This was the accomplishment of a very intelligent man, Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, says the film, and it has not been acknowledged by the world in general. Which is why this is such an important movie in Indian history, although it is a movie filled with inaccuracies and an appalling lack of structured content.
