Movie Review- RAEES

SHAH RUKH KHAN In and As ..
'RAEES'

The Most Awaited ! The Most Anticipated Movie finally got a date and a year to flash itself on the silver screen.

I will first begin by saying that, "Had there not been such a powerful cast and so much of commercialisation 'RAEES' as a movie would have gone unnoticed." A bitter fact about this movie.

Getting Actors like SRK and Nawaz on board gave a shape and provided a reason for spectators to go and watch.
By now you guys must have got an idea as to how RAEES would have looked without SRK and others.

The film is set in late 80's and early 90's where bootlegging was a routine. SRK who plays in and as Raees is accompanied by his childhood friend Sadiq(Zeeshan Mohammed) go on to become one of the fierce bootleggers of their time.

The best part of RAEES being the 'dialoguebaazi' and the primitive locations which add to the selling element. I was not really impressed by the songs. There seem to have been no efforts taken on writing and composing suitable songs which go with the nature and composure of the movie. A complete thumbs down for songs.

A major loophole which can be felt and seen is the editing of the scenes. Absolutely raw and noob. I wonder how filmmakers don't really bother to notice such minor issues which affect the entire viewing experience. They thought of showing everything but unfortunately ended up skipping and leaving scenes half done and ready

Looking at the Republic Weekend and it's clash with Kaabil, RAEES's revenue might get affected.
By weekend it should touch the 100cr mark. On the other hand I doubt it will cross 200-250cr mark.

Finally, I give 3 out 5 stars for RAEES.
* Additional half a star for SRK and his entry*
SRKphiles are going to love it.
