This film was about how Raees' relationships helped him become a successful entrepreneur and the most powerful person in the region. He gains popularity by showcasing a persona that is loved by everyone and everything he does is genuine and is for the greater good. Raees is always thinking ahead and never lets obstacles come in his way of destroying his business empire.
This film had obvious transitions that did not flow with the movie well. The director used many fade outs that fade to black as every transition. A scene that stood out the most was when Raees was fighting the guy trying to kill him. There was a high camera angel shot at Raees during Muharram to show that he was vulnerable and that someone was about to kill him. Then Raees vanishes just as the bad guy tries to snipe him. Raise ends up being behind the guy and instead of fighting him, he does cheesy parkour all around town. There were wide shots of Raees with music in the background and there wasn’t really a purpose to this, it was simply dragging the movie out. Finally Raees jumps off of a roof and lands on a truck perfectly with the bad guy and then they fight with their bare hands. Raise obviously wins the battle, and goes on with this life that just receives more irrelevant problems throughout the film. This scene was an interesting choice for the actor because he rarely ever does action scenes that involve fighting, it was a poor choice. This film was awful. This film could have ended in an hour and a half, but the plot kept dragging. There were so many sub plot points that were irrelevant and made the audience lose interest and want the movie to end sooner. Bollywood movies rarely disappoint me and I was highly disappointed by this. The songs didn’t even make up for how bad the movie was either, they were just placed as fillers and had nothing to do with what was going on in the film. I think this film was just a way to lure Pakistanis because of Mahira Khan who made her first appearance in Bollywood in this film. Shahrukh Khan continues to disappoint. (P.S. This made me realize how good guys look with kajal on)
