RAAZI: An amazing masterpiece from Meghna Gulzar, that unlike typical spy movies, refrains from showing indo pak animosity in black and white, but showcases things with more realism, where the enemy is shown not just as a heartless monster but human being with feelings and emotions. The story is gripping right from the beginning and no where does the movie loses its pace. Dialogues are carefully thought out and will make you think more than what is said. Alia drives yet another women centric movie so beautifully that you never feel that she is playing the character. It feels she is living the character. She has dexterously portrayed the various emotions her character undergoes, from a innocent daughter who gets married across border for her dying father’s last wish, from a caring bride who loves her new family as much as her parents , from a patriot who sees her loved ones going away one after the other, and a proud spy who is content with her role, no matter what all she suffered. Vickey Kaushal wins yours heart despite playing the role of her husband from other side of the border. The entire supporting cast deserves an applause for giving so much finesse to their characters. The screen play is fantastic with attention given to even the smallest of the details. The song Ae Watan sung soulfully by Sunidhi Chauhan and Arijit on music led by Shankar Eshaan Loy is surely going to give you goosebumps. RAAZI is a heartfellt tribute to those names that get lost somewhere amidst victory celebrations of the wars they made us to win. It’s one of the best spy movies as it talks not about the war but mostly of humans who suffer on both sides of the war…
