Talwar was a path breaking movie based on real incidents. Meghna Gulzar is back with another realistic drama, based on an incredible true story of an Indian spy.
Bollywood movies about India - Pakistan have always been intriguing. Raazi is no exception. It is not an easy watch because it is a compelling true story. The plot revolves around what happens when a Indian girl is married off to Pakistan for the hidden motive of espionage.
The script penned by Bhavani Iyer and Meghna Gulzar based on the novel "Calling Sehmat" is quite intense and good apart from a small flaw towards the end. Meghna Gulzar is a true gem. Her deft direction makes Raazi an engrossing watch despite the serious tone of the script. Alia Bhatt plays her role very well with the right emotions. Sehmat sinks into each of us before we leave the hall. Vicky Kaushal and Jaideep Ahlawat does their roles well.
The music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy is functional and goes well with the mood of the film. Overall, Raazi is a well directed film with good performances, but is more likely to appeal to serious movie goers.
Watch it or not?
Raazi is a good watch for serious movie goers. For entertainment lovers, this movie could be a long watch.
My Rating : 4 / 5
