#Raees is a full 70s 80s ka Bachchan wala mass entertainer with style, @iamsrk & @Nawazuddin_S excel @TheQuint

Suresh Mathew @Suresh_Mathew_

Those tired of seeing @iamsrk do his arm stretched 'I'm a cute lover boy' routine will love this totally badass #Raees

Suresh Mathew @Suresh_Mathew_

#Raees sacrifices on emotional depth in favour of massy elements, a deliberate choice? @TheQuint

The film basically narrates how the relationships & Dramatic Rise of Raees help him build an entire empire of his own from ground to the skies, which makes him the most powerful man in Gujarat.

Criticizing the prohibition of alcohol, prostitution and illegal drugs in Gujarat, this film unfolds the story of a cruel and clever bootlegger, whose business is highly challenged by a tough cop.

Reception by Audience:

The First look and Teaser of Raees was released in the year of 2015 and after a year of that the trailer was released. Both Teaser and Trailer of Raees managed to break most of the YouTube records by getting breath taking views and likes on the videos. The first released was Laila Main Laila starring Sunny Leone and Shah Rukh Khan and the song created more buzz because of the music and Sunny Leone.

The second song released was a romantic number starring Mahira Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, the song was named Zaalima and like the trailer and Laila, even this song started breaking records within 24 hours of its release. Raees has a huge box office clash with Kaabil, but by comparing at the number of likes and views on Kaabil & Raees Trailer & Songs, looks like Raees is way more ahead of Kaabil. Both Raees and Kaabil will be releasing on 25th of January. The complete Raees Movie Review will be updated once the movie releases, till then stay tuned and watch out & Follow our social media channels on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram for latest updates on Raees Movie Review and Kaabil movie reviews.

Review :

If you loved the way the Trailer was put on, then you are gonna love Raees even more. The clash between Nawazuddin Siddiqui and ShahRukh Khan is something to look out for in the movie. Raees Alam (SRK) is nothing more than a larger than life portrayal of a gangster/bootlegger who becomes a cult by gaining public's trust. We have seen SRK doing a negative role before as well, but Raees is nothing similar to them. He is a man with a golden heart and who has an impeccable Business sense. This role can be added to the list of his best performances.

On the other side, Nawazuddin Siddiqui with his acting steals the show. He once again proves that he is indeed one of the most versatile actors in the industry.

Rahul Dholakia, the director of Raees who is well-known for making realistic movies has done a great job with Raees from Raees Alam trying to woo Mahira Khan to the climax. The music of Raees syncs immensely with the story and screenplay.

Verdict:

Raees is a must watch if you are fan of Shahrukh Khan or Nawazuddin Siddiqui. I would give it 3/5. With a clash with Kaabil, let's see how Raees does it's business.

Raees movie review: Shahrukh, Mahira put on a Khan-tastic show in gangster flick

Shahrukh Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Mahira Khan put on a fantastic show

Shahrukh Khan's full acting range is showcased in Raees. (YouTube)

Raees movie review: It's been a long time since Shahrukh fans have wanted to see the star in a role that showcased his entire range as an actor and that wait comes to an end with Raees. Shahrukh has worked brilliantly in the movie as the titular gangster and his performance will definitely go down as one of his finest. Of course, Shahrukh is always able to shine better when he has a powerful supporting cast - something that was missing in some of his earlier and less successful films. In Raees, however, Shahrukh has the able support of Nawazuddin Siddiqui as the relentless cop Majumdar. The intense rleationship between these two characters forms the throbbing pulse of Raees.

Plot: Raees follows the prohibition era in Gujarat where Shahrukh starts out as a regular man with big dreams. Those dreams come to fruitition when he starts an illegal liquor trade, yet the gangster is also seen to have a heart of gold. It's tough to maintain a character's ferocity and vulnerability in equal measures, but this is what SRK does best. One minute he's beating his adversaries bloody and you're terrified, the next he's romancing Mohsina and you're in love. Mahira Khan makes a startling debut and we hope that once the furor over Pakistani actors has died down, we'll get to see some more of this wonderful star in Bollywood.

Full of tightly-choreographed action sequences and a brilliantly written script, Raees finally marks the beginning of good movies in 2017. While the ending might seem a bit stretched to some audiences, Shahrukh will still manage to pull at your heart-strings.

Verdict: For those caught in the dilemma of whether to see Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil or this film first, we would recommend booking your tickets (if theatres aren't already full) for Raees.

Rating: **** 1/2
