Review of Raazi

Raazi (2018)
8/10
Good but one time watch
8 August 2019
Raazi is a spy thriller film directed by Meghna Gulzar and an an adaptation of Harinder Sikka's 2008 novel Calling Sehmat, a true account of a RAW agent who, upon her father's request, is married into a Pakistani family of military officials to relay information to India, prior to the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Alia Bhatt has once again proved why she is the best Hindi film actress currently by giving an almost flawless performance. Meghna Gulzar has also done an equally brilliant job in directing the film without any unnecessary patriotic gung-ho or overplaying the emotions. I loved the authentic set design too; such accuracy is rarely seen in Bollywood movies. The entire support cast has done a real good job too and ably support Alia's prowess. The only fault was the lack of original accent of any of the actors. The movie has an even pace throughout and enough thrilling moments which kept me glued.
