Blog: ‘Raazi’ Movie Review

Directed by Meghna Gulzar, Raazi is set against the backdrop of the Indo-Pak war (1971), which is a strong dramatic thriller.

With Raazi being the only current ongoing movie at the cinema halls near us, we happened to watch it, first day, last show, from row five. But, we were not disappointed. Alia Bhatt, the female lead actor, by carrying the film on her strong shoulders, gives all her co-male actors a run for their money. Her character depicted the feeling of angst and confusion felt by a girl her age, who is twirled in something much bigger than her age. Whats even more refreshing is the cast of the film, especially male actors, who haven’t been seen in too many movies and roles so far.

Directed by Meghna Gulzar, Raazi is set against the backdrop of the Indo-Pak war (1971), where an Indian Muslim girl Sehmat from Kashmir (Alia Bhatt) marries a Pakistani Army officer to spy for India. Raazi, strong dramatic thriller, is a true story where Sehmats father Hidayat Khan (Rajit Kapoor) marries Sehmat off as an Indian spy.

Sehmats husband and her mentor in the film are the two amazing roles that caught my attention. Both the characters were extremely important for the story to move forward. Wasn’t difficult for me to take my eyes and ears off the three! The rest of the cast was also wisely casted and the mother- father and daughter moments of the movie had all of us in tears.

The movie is based on how our unsung soldiers and heroes cross the border and provide us with utmost information to carry out or stop an attack. Not just did the youngsters have a great time watching the movie, the oldies in my family too were glued to their seats till the end.

The movie is not just another Bollywood patriotic movie as it also showcases how relations between two neighboring countries, India and Pakistan, at war, had seen many courageous soldiers on both sides in 1971. This is a real life incident, so, showing it through a lens and dedicating it to our patriots makes the movie even closer and special to everybodys hearts.

The movie also proves that soldiers can some in all shapes, sizes and genders and as the title suggest, if the heart is Raazi, then one can move mountains. There are four to five songs in the movie and some only play in the background. They are melodious and very soothing to hear. So much so, that I’ve been humming them on and off ever since the time I heard them.

This is a story of an unsung courageous soldier that warrants a watch. Alia as Sehmats transition from a naïve to a strong and determined girl is commendable. Hope you watch the movie and keep reading!

The MLC member was present in the house during the proceedings of the legislative council. While the house was in session, Rathod was watching adult content on his smartphone.
However, he threw these charges under the bus and said, I was looking for materials for a question I wanted to ask the government in question hour.
?When I was looking for question material, I deleted too many messages as my phone storage was full. What the media has shown or seen, I don’t know. I would never do such things or see such things, he added.
This was not the first time in Karnataka that such an incident had happened. Back in 2012, three Bharatiya Janata Party ministers were caught on camera allegedly watching adult content in the State Assembly.
