I went and watched Raazi yesterday at a nearby theater with some of my friends. It was an excellent movie and Alia Bhatt deserves a special mention. It was quite clear that she worked considerably on her Urdu pronunciations. She uttered the words exactly in the manner Kashmiri people do. And her effort to master complex self-defense techniques became quite evident from her work. From a bride during the day to an expert spy during the night - Alia playing as Sehmat was simply superb and unstoppable!
There’s no doubt that Raazi is all about Alia. It’s her movie. However, having said that, actors like Rajit Kapur, Shishir Sharma, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Vicky Kaushal also played important parts to make the movie exciting and interesting till the very end. I enjoyed the music of this movie as well.
The biggest plus of the movie rests in the manner in which suspense has been maintained without making it unnecessarily dramatic. Moreover, Raazi never attempts to spoon-feed the audience at any point of time. For all these reasons, I felt it’s by no stretch of the imagination a typical Bollywood movie. Therefore, I am strongly recommending this movie to everyone!
