An action-thriller movie that runs in 1971 during the Indo-Pakistan War, follows Sehmat , an Indian young beautiful girl who will marry a Pakistani army officer only to help her country in the war against Pakistan.
Had it not been a true story, we could have questioned the audacity of the events. Perhaps, that's what makes Raazi one of the finest films of 2018, triumphant and defiantly good.
Meghna Gulzar's steady hand gradually ramps up the tension throughout, leading to an explosive final act in this strong dramatic thriller. It also leaves you questioning the repercussions of war on the human psyche.
Despite its shortcomings, Raazi has a lot going for it, especially its leading lady. If you are willing to suspend your imagination a bit, it can make for a fulfilling watch.
