Review of Raees . . .
so finally after long wait he arrived with his spectacular avatar Raees. King iz back. It was one of my most awaited movies of 2017. I really didn't want it to clash with Sultan. I felt happy when i got the news of postpone. It's teaser was only enough to make me fall in love with SRK again as always. But this time it iz not that typical romantic movie by him but it's totally massy entertainer. It's a movie where hero plays a character "In and As". Like Don this one iz also starring Shahrukh Khan in and as Raees. It's one of those films where protagonist proves himself in the "In and As" image. Raees iz loosesly based on story of 80s bootlegger of Gujarat named Abdul Latif. Who was Muslim and was importing liquor from outside of Gujarat and used to sell in the dry state. He has superb mind of business strategies as well as he had daring too to be in the illegal business. As one dialogue iz there "Baniye Ka Dimaag Aur Miyaan Bhai Ki Daring". He starts his life by keeping mother's advice in the mind which was "Koi Bhi Dhandha Chhota Nhi Hota Aur Dhandhe Se Bada Koi Dharm Nhi Hota" he believed in that and he learned business by working with some other bootleggers of those times at his teenage. He starts from the job and one day he wants to be a businessman of this industry.
It starts similarly as others biopic where we can have some glimpse of childhood. Here same story how one muslim child becomes a baniya of this illegal business.
It's the one which has outstanding dialogue baazi which massy cinema needs. It has potential Hero-Villain stuff like cat-mouse which can be served as delicious biryani for massy audience. I'm not only that guy who watch only classy cinema but I'm big fan of massy films too. I enjoyed Amitabh Ji's, Dharam Ji's and Sunny paaji's massy action packed with killer dialogues. And still i watch this films whenever i found it showing on any channel of tv.
Raees iz the one where all the dialogues shown in the trailer proved very true in the film.
"Baniye Ka Dimag Aur Miyaan Bhai Ki Daring"
He has awesome mind of business and daredevil for those who comes in between him and his business.
"Dhandhe Se Bada Koi Dharm Nhi"
He believes in the business and always finds ways to grow it at any cost.
"Patang Katne Ka Darr Hota To Chadata Hi Nhi Firki Pakdta"
He has no fear of anyone or anything. Whatever he iz doing he trusts himself.
"Apna Time Shuru"
He has shown ups and downs and his time comes when he becomes messiah too.
"Aa Raha Hun"
"Raat Aur Din Logon Ke Hote Hain Raees Ka Zaman Hota Hai"
"Battery Nhi Bolne Ka"
and many more dialogues by Raees while in his opposition there iz no weak officer but the strongest one J.A.Majmudar which iz played by none other than Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
His killer attitude of being Raees iz unbeatable. It was really enjoyable when SRK and Nawaz shares the screen. Both are mind blowing.
Like Raees he iz also Ziddi officer he wants to finish Raees anyhow no matter where he gets transfer but he says
"Aap Mera Transfer Kahin Bhi Kar Do, Raees Ko Nhi Chhoduga Main".
I watched trailer and loved it and was damn excited and this time my expectations were so high as it's buzz was too. I always wanted to see SRK in this kind of kickass role rather than romantic roles. He iz superb in romantic but still i think he can do some thriller roles better. I loved him in Darr and Bazigar where he played thriller roles. Trust me It's one of his finest roles he ever played. No one else could've played it better than him. It's not his best because for me still Swades, CDI, Don, Bazigar, MNIK etc are his bests. Raees has undoubtedly awesomeness and he nailed it completely.
Raees iz fantastic start in massy cinemas of 2017. It's commercial which has potential to become blockbuster. I wish it become. In the first half i found the script little regular but SRK and Nawaz took it to the next level post interval. Narration from the beginning iz also fabulous. As they showed Gujarat, Liquor, Muslim Areas, Mumbai Areas, Guns, Kites, Trucks, Roadways, Seaways, Boats, Smugglings... etc are very good. Entry scenes, fight sequences some emotional scenes are also well directed.
All movie one side and climax on another side. What a power packed and unexpected climax it has. Loved it so much. Climax iz the most superior part of the film.
SRK's performance iz OUTSTANDING. Lots of
#love and
#respect for him. He has done very good job as Raees. As i said earlier he proved himself in the image of "In and As". Raees iz the character which iz played marvelously by him. He fits in the role. Hatz off.
#ApnaTimeShuru what a killer performance ♡ it's long lasting to be remembered for me.
Nawaz - OMG this time he iz THE BEST. He always proves himself as an honest actor but this time his versatility iz something that made me his biggest biggest biggest fan. He shines as Majmudar. Who gives his best to destroy Raees.
It reminded me of Kahani in which also he played a role of police officer. That "out out" dialogue from that film iz still unforgettable for me and this time too his dialogues are very well written as Raees' which can be remembered for the long time. It's totally award worthy and my respect for him increased after watching this.
Nawaz sir said in one interview before the release of film that he thinks that it's his best rolw till date and after witnessing i think the same. For me i think it's his best till date. He iz an institution of acting from where every aspiring artists can learn a lot. I will definitely talk about this role whenever in the future i will meet him. #love #respect
#bigfan
Mahirah Khan looks beautiful but she has to learn more about acting to leave an impact to the audience.
Zeeishan iz fantastic as Sadiq who superbly lends support to Raees. Other casting iz also fine.
Laila song by Sunny Leone iz enjoyable for massy audience. I loved the music of this track. Zaalima iz good while Udi Udi Jaye by Sukhwinder iz also fine. Ram Sapath's BGM iz brilliant. Loved it. It reminded me Don's BGM. This kind of films must have engaging BGM.
Costume Designing iz impressive. Specially SRK's Pathanis are making him more natural.
Cinematography iz fantastic. Some scenes of Gujarat specially of my district Kutch. When SRK came here for the shoot i saw him from the distance and he wore green pathani and when that scene of 1 minute came i felt so so so happy
:)
On the whole It's entertaining for me. I liked it more because of the SRK's performance and also Nawaz impressed me so much. Dialogues are enjoyable. It has some limitations too but who cares about that when they worked hard for creating this. Ignoring bad points and counting plus points i think for me It deserves
3.5/5.
