Rating: 3/5
Story: the audience, today, goes to watch the movie for its story. Raees had an amazing cast and a good story at hand but it was not handled well by the director. He was confused between making this a realistic movie or an over the top bollywood movie. The first few minutes seemed immature but then it blended into a real gangster movie. 3/5
Direction: it was poor. As written above, story handling was confused. The actions scenes were not well directed. The only thing that was good, was that it was fast excluding the last 20 minutes that you'd expect to be slow 2/5
Acting: can we get better than Shahrukh playing a negative role and an amazing actor like Nawazzudin Siddiqui playing the cop? What a treat to watch. They made the directors confusion not look too bad. Mahira did an okay job because she didn't have much to do. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayuub as usual never disappoints just like Nawazzudin 4.5
Songs: couple of situational songs should have been better but otherwise O Zaalima and the ever so sexy Sunny Leone dancing to the remake of Laila O Laila should drive you to the theatres 3.5
Final review: it's a one time watch. Don't miss Shahrukh and Nawazzudin's super act and of course Sunny Leone. Otherwise the story can be liked by many if not being to critical.
