'Azhar': A poor innings of half truths: Rating: **

Lara Dutta as Meera, the lawyer, is competent and has a commanding screen presence. Kunal Roy Kapur as Reddy, Azhar's friend and lawyer, attempts yet another unusual character and almost pulls it off with an interesting get-up. Kulbhushan Kharbanda as Azhar's maternal grandfather, Wajehuddin, with his distinct Hyderabadi accent, leaves an impact even in his limited screen time. Some of the other supporting actors perform well. Unfortunately, a competent actor like Varun Badola as Kapil is wasted.
