6/10
Dosti aur Revenge ka Raja
29 November 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Bullett Raja is a gangster/political drama based in UP. The film is very enjoyable, though the film may seem like a regular masala flick, Tigmanushu Dhulia makes sure the film has his flavor and his sensibilities seen in earlier films like SBAG and Paan Singh Tomar. While the first half of the film shows a Jai Veer type of camaraderie between Saif and Jimmy, its shows there rise as gangsters. The second half becomes a revenge drama .

The films main plot is about Raja and Rudra. Raja and Rudra both are forced to become gangster after they have no option. Raja after fleding some people who were after him because of a small dispute, crashes a wedding that Rudra was at,at the wedding they become friends. At the same wedding Rudra's uncle who is a gangster gets attacked by his trusted man Lallan Singh who wants to take over his business. In this fight however Raja and Rundra defend his uncle, and end up getting in some unwanted mess. They both get attacked by the Lallan Singh after, and they don't wanna become gangsters so they don't retaliate,so for protection they go to jail. While in jail Rudra's uncle gets killed and both Raja and Rundra take revenge and become gangsters. They are then supported by opposition leader Ramabau Shukla. They take place of former head gangster of UP Sumer Yadav, after they kill a political leader he couldn't. They are now UP''s biggest gangsters. However they make a mistake. While at a meeting after being insulted by UP's biggest business man Mr. Bajaj they kidnap him for money to make him learn a lesson, Bajaj mad with them because of the Kidnapping, hires Sumer Yadav and kills Rudra. Does Raja take revenge, does Raja survive Baja's wrath is what forms the main plot.

Acting wise Saif Ali Khan is first rate, he fits in to character so well and gives a mature performance. Jimmy Shergill also matches up to Saif in every scene and gives a great performance. Sonakshi Sinha though maybe not needed in the film does good in her role and adds glamor. Other notable acts are of Raj Babbar, Gulshan Grover, and Vidyut Jamwal they all perform well.

Dir Tigmunsha Dhuila does a good job, though not his best work the film is highly enjoyable and entertaining. The music is very average. The film though good has minuses, the songs, the weak climax and twist at the end play spoil sport. The story also is not novel, and a film like this did not need a heroine.

However minuses withstanding the films is good. Those who like gangster films or political drama's will enjoy Bullet Raja. The film deserves at least one watch for the good action and Saif and Jimmy's performance 3.5/5*
