Raazi is pathetic excuse of a spy movie

Okay, so people kept calling it a spy movie so I watched but it wasn't a spy movie it is an anti-war movie

1971 India - Pakistan war happened because Pakistan was carrying out genocide and mass rape of women in Bengal

Then Pakistan attacked India, India defeated Pakistan and helped Bangladesh, effectively stopping a genocide

Anyone who shows sympathy towards an army which carried out unimaginable crimes against humanity is pathetic

How does one make anti-war movie on 1971 war to show India as the aggressor?

Meghna Gulzar a woman has so much sympathy for these people, it just makes me sick that women led movie was made to defend people who committed such grave crimes

The song "Ae watan mere aabad rahe tu" is for Pakistan, a Pakistan that carried out genocide, I can't believe these people how do you even come up with something like this, what kind of monster would hate a country for stopping genocide?

Absolutely no moral compass amongst the makers of this movie and audience

If you want anti war movies, there are many wars where it works like Indo-China war or Kargil war but India was not aggressor in any case, War was brought to us and we defended ourselves, how come our people make stories where other side which is starting the war innocent in anti-war movies?

If it is about people then Mai Hoo Na was a good one established that we should separate people from army, no issues there, none wants death of 220M Pakistani civilians

But you glorify, justify and humanize Pakistani army that too you go to 1971 to do that where they raped hundreds thousands of women

I would like to understand what goes on in mind of people when they care for perpetrators and not victims of such horrifying atrocities against humans? Like you don't feel bad for people who were killed or women who were raped? All your love, empathy is limited to genocidal rapists?

Not wanting to discuss your personal view, but with first a father, then his daughter working as spies/informants for the Indian RAW in Pakistan definitely belongs to a spy movie.

There is even resemblance with Dhurandhar through marrying someone who belongs to those one spies on (and then falling in love with that person).

The movie is even based on a true account of an Indian (female) agent (the Harinder Sikka novel Calling Sehmat) who had to marry the Pakistani officer to give info about military operations (prior to the 1971 war).

The author himself confirmed that movie was not upto the mark. He didn't like it.

Not my personal views, the author of book has said the same

The problem is that in the book, Sahmet had a boyfriend in Delhi who waited for her to come back and when she did, she was pregnant, they loved each other so they lived together and her boyfriend raised that child with her

She loved India so much that she raised her son who joined Indian army unlike Alia's character from the movie who said she didn't want to be like one of them (Indian army and RAW)

The movie stripped Sahmet of her life away from the mission, Sahmet of book had a happy ending with the man she loved in Delhi, Sahmet of movie fell in love with Pakistani army man and was used to glorify an army which raped hundreds thousands of women, why are you overlooking gruesome reality?

What makes people not see the atrocities against women because they like specific men so much?

Raazi is opposite of Dhurandhar, Jaskirat loved his country, he faced alot of hardship in India but he never hated his country, he left his family because "Sacrifice is the highest duty", he loved Yalina and his child but he chose his love for his country over everyone

Okay, it's about the quality of the movie in comparison to the book... then yes, you have my consent... but still, as genre, it is a spy-movie ... in addition, the only thing I ever lauded (and would laud) about the movie is Vicky Kaushal's performance
