Wazir- Movie Review by Shoby
3.0 Hearts out of 5
Bejoy Nambiar known for his off-beat thriller drama David collaborated with Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Big B and Farhan Akhtar for another thriller drama Wazir, a movie that relies heavily on its tight script and acting prowess by the supremely talented cast.
Happiness & dreams of a small family gets shattered when daughter of Danish (Farhan Akhtar) and Ruhana (Aditi Rao Hydari) gets killed in a fire exchange that took place between officer Danish Ali & a terrorist Rameez. Ruhana blames Danish for the demise of their daughter & leaves him. Pandit Omkarnath Dhar (Amitabh Bachchan) a handicapped chess master approaches Danish and they make a unique bond, as both of them have lost their daughters in incidents. Pandit Dhar accuses a welfare minister as the culprit behind his daughter's murder and wants revenge. Rest is worth to be seen in theatres.
Best thing about this thriller is its length. Editing has been done intelligently & ongoings are tightly made to be concluded in just about perfect time. Although you may find several errors in the plot but screenplay written by Abhijat Joshi is much convincing & engaging. It has an unbelievable climax to die for.
No points for guessing about the acting. Amitabh Bachchan has given yet another solid performance whereas Farhan Akhtar was also seen in a good touch. Brief cameos from John Abraham & Neil Nitin Mukesh are superb. Aditi Rao Hydari has played her part gracefully.
Except Tere Bin, its overall soundtrack lacks the required punch but background score is a winner and it enhances the thrill, drama & intensity of the situations. Action sequences are nicely directed and one of the best moments of the film is the tablo performance at the end.
Overall, this is a a good one time film watch and obviously a perfect start for the year 2016.
