Raees is a paisa-wasool entertainer for Bollywood fans.
The first half of the film takes off extremely well, with a great build up to Raees’ character from his childhood and also at setting a lighter note and then we are further sucked into the twisted ‘baniya dimaag’ of Raees.
The film shifts from politics, to romance and action seamlessly, thus keeping us entertained.
Script wise, the film starts to become dull in the second half when there is too much of heroism portrayed by Raees. Also, the climax is stretched way out of hand and could have been limited.
