From the director of National Award winning,"Parzania" and "Lamha", Rahul Dholakia gives his first attempt at the commercial potboiler and is fairly successful. Inspired by the true story of liquor don, Abdul Latif, who ruled Gujarat and even few parts of India, "Raees" tells the rags-to-rich tale of Raees Alam (played by Shah Rukh Khan) who faces the heat at the peak of his supremacy by a tough cop (played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui). Does "Raees" lives up to the mammoth expectations ? Well, it was almost there with few glitches and few engaging moments. The trailer looked promising bringing back the 80's Bollywood era and so were the dialogue promos and the songs. So my rating 10/10 Stars.Īfter being in making for past 2 years and being shelved for multiple reasons, "Raees" finally sees the light of the day. A classic masala flick, Best movie of it's genre. Action, Acting, Romance, Violence, Music and Masaledar dialogues all add up to the genre. Full of tightly-choreographed action sequences and a brilliantly written script, On the whole, Raees is a full on Masala Entertainer packed by power full performances and adrenaline charged action sequences. It's tough to maintain a character's ferocity and vulnerability in equal measures, but this is what SRK does best. The dialogues are just bang on.WOW ! The part where SRK says "dhanda Karta hun, dharm ka dhanda nai karta" is the best one. The second grips the audience in their seats and the smoke scene is the show stealer.
The first half is well placed Majmudar's one liners and the music is fabulous and the Laila Main Laila sequence ups the ante. Raees SRK has shown and proved " Form is temporary, Class is permanent " Shah Rukh Khan and Nawazuddin 's bravura performances, Action sequences, Well researched script, Music, Screenplay, Editing, and Climax. Miyan Bhai SRK stole the thunder with his power packed performance.
it might just 'raees' to the occasion.įinally the day arrived after 3 years if wait, the day arrived. The movie can feel a bit long, but if you're going for a great Shah Rukh performance and some good old popcorn- entertainment,And It Gives A Good Message To Viewers. The movie takes a rough path there on, and the long runtime makes the ride bumpier. The first half is well- paced it draws you in and makes you root for the SRK, But the second half plunges into a weird Robin Hood zone where the antihero's morals are suddenly defibrillated and he becomes a messiah. If her purpose was to soften the baddie, it's lost on the viewer.Action Scenes Are Like Every Other Bollywood Movie. Mahirah is restricted to songs and a few emotional scenes, but doesn't really add much. In the trademark Nawaz style, he delivers some comic relief. When he doesn't, the ever-so-reliable Nawazuddin Siddiqui steps in with his crackling performance. The film lies entirely on his shoulders and he carries the weight most of the times. Shah Rukh Khan has never looked better he's full of fury and for once, isn't spreading his arms, but breaking others'. Shah Rukh Khan plays the titular character of a spectacled goon who hates being called "battery" he starts from harmless Ponzi schemes but graduates to pre- planned rackets and becomes the top bootlegger of his town. Gear up for a throwback to the great Salim-Javed blockbusters of the Seventies, where the hero grows up mid-action,breaks the tension and action sequences compel you to whistle.
