Shah rukh khan has never looked better. He’s is full of fury and for once, isn’t spreading arms. Na team. He’s breaking others. The film flies entirely on his shoulders and carries the eight most of the times. When he doesn’t. The ever-so-reliale nawazuddin Siddique steps in with his cracking performance. In the trademark Nawaz stylehedelivers some comic relief while playing the Tom to khan’s Jerry. Mahirah is restricted to songs and a few emotional sceen, but doesn’t really add much. If her purpose was to soften the baddie. It’s lost on the viewer.The story line not up the mark. It’s a pure entertaining Bollywood masala with all predictable moments. I would rather give raees 3 out of 5 which is satisfactory
