  • This movie is a brilliant story of ferocious greed, bootlegging, realistic events, power-play with emotional currents of human drama.
    Protagonist RAEES(SRK) says this line before killing MUSA (one of the villains): “For me Business is Religion but I never did Religious Business”. For me this line sumps up the whole movie.
    RAEES is one of the rarest movie which balances both the quotient Entertainment and Story. This movie is brilliantly directed (Rahul Dholakia has done a great job), well edited, amazing background score with superb songs & have good screenplay with great classic dialogues.
    The way characters are established in RAEES will remind you of great movies like Baazigar & Deewar. The action sequences are very realistic & hard hitting especially the Riot scene and Meat market scenes are real bone cruncher. The second half of movie is very emotional (The scene where RAEES breaks town in her wife laps after he realizes about his bankruptcy is one of the best scenes ever).
    From performance point of view SRK shows why he is the best, his acting is terrific. From the first scene to the Last you will never get a glimpse of SRK the star because he is not there at all. What you see in RAEES is a Character Portrayal at his best (not a role played like other actors do in Bollywood including SRK himself. They play a role and do not portray a character most of the time). He depicted human side of a bootlegger with great sincerity and correct emotions.
    Nawaz and other actors are brilliant in their respective roles. Kudos to the casting director for such a brilliant cast.
    Powerful, occasionally humorous, sometimes shocking, emotionally brilliant and a great entertainer, “RAEES” is one of the films which stays with you when you leave the theater.
