Ayyub), Raees works for a gangster Jairaj (Atul Kulkarni), who smuggles alcohol
illegally by bribing the police. Raees lives by the philosophy of his mother
that every occupation is good, and no religion is greater than any occupation
as long as it does not cause any harm to anyone. He decides to part ways with
Jairaj and start operating on his own. He meets Musabhai (Narendra Jha) in
Mumbai, and with his help he starts his bootlegging business. Meanwhile, an
honest police officer of the IPS cadre, J. A. Majmudar (Nawazuddin Siddiqui)

alcohol and get them delivered to homes. In the meantime, Raees marries Aasiya.

Majmudar gets transferred back to Fatehpura. Communal riots break out in the
state. Considering Raees a threat, the CM puts the housing project in green

Every
Sharukh Khan release is an event in itself, RAAES is no different. Most of the
characters the Khan had been portraying in the recent past have been
disappointing to his fans…even the
much admired Jahingar Khan of Hello Zindagi was not of much satisfaction due to
the limited screen time. And now Raees is something his fans had been waiting
and praying that it would tip the balance of fortune towards their much loved
star
And
yes….from the word go, we know a masterpiece is unfolding on the
screen. Though the story is not new..a rise and fall of a righteous don has
been done to death in Bollywood from times immemorial, but what sets Raees
apart is Sharukh Khan, his performance and the amazing screenplay.
Jaideep
Majumdar (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) reminiscences his tryst with bootlegger Raees
(Sharukh Khan) way back in the 90's. Raees story unfolds right from his
childhood where he is touchy about his short sight (has to wear glasses) and
people calling him "battery" due to this impairment. His Ammi (Sheeba
Chaddha) is his greatest influence and her words "business is bigger than
religion as long as it does not harm anyone" remains in his mind and
starts working for a local don (Atul Kulkarni).
Raees
once when he is old enough decides to start his own business and miffs the don
and joins hands with a Mumbai don Moosa who funds Raees's bootlegging business.
Raees
falls in love and gets married to Aasiya (Mahira Khan) and soon becomes a
father. His rise disturbs the local don who tries killing Raees and fails and
ends up getting killed by him.
Jaideep
Majumdar, a honest police officer is hot on the trail of Raees and uses every
method at his disposal to bring Raees down, but he is unsuccessful as Raees has
the support of both the ruling and the opposition party.
But
soon, Raees's ego makes him a commit one fatal error which turns things in
favor of Majumdar…..
Sharukh
is back to doing what he does best, hogging the screen time and also giving one
of his career's best performances, his ire when called Battery, or when he is
weeping away to glory in his wife's arms after a major setback or his
astounding performance in the climax undoubtedly proves the crown is still his.
Mahira
Khan performs well in what little screen time she has, as the only person who
gets away after making fun of Raees's short sight. Wish she had more screen
time.
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui is wow as Jaideep Majumdar, the scenes involving him intimidating his
superiors, or the several faceoffs with Raees showcase his talent.
Sunny
Leone brings the house down with the peppy item LAILA and her tumka's are well
synchronized to the beats
K
U Mohanan's Cinematography captures rustic Gujrat at its best, the filters
highlighting the era in which the film is based
Deepa
Bhatia's editing ensures the movie does not drag and uses the scissors the
right way in making the film crispy and entertaining.
Rahul
Dholakia's direction is top notch and it is not a mean task handling two live
wires Sharukh and Nawazuddin together, but he has managed to extract the best
possible scenes involving both of them. He has also managed to recreate the
70-90's era with just the right touches
Watch
it if you are a hardcore Sharukh khan and also if you have a major crush on
Sunny Leone and also if you have been missing the wonderful action sequences of
the 80's.
