Mr Bachchan’s words on how an individual’s grief can affect those around the bereaved are most inspiring. In no time at all, Farhan’s Danish and Bachchan’s Panditji become the unlikeliest of friends. Bonded as they are by their shared anguish, the two souls become one in their unendurable pain.
Wazir has three heroes. Bachchan and Akhtar, of course, who are so effective individually and together that we wonder why they haven’t been cast together before. But the third and bigger hero of Wazir is the deviously clever script. Written by producer Vinod Chopra, along with Abhijat Joshi( of Munnabhai fame), this is quite comfortably the best emotional thriller from Bollywood in years.
