Raid:Content and Hard Hitting movie
As we all know audiences have
rejected big budget movies with big stars,sleazy item numbers and rauchy music
but a weak script.Now a days content is the king.Gone are the days when people
use to go theatres because of khans and superstars. This week’s release “Raid” of Ajay Devgnn starrer is purely
content based movie .Content plays a pivotal role in today’s success of film .
The movie starts directly into
the plot with a engaging story line and gripping.The movie from the beginning
is able to create lot of suspense and engrave the audiences.Coming to the
strong points of the movie
1.The ensemble cast:-Raid
starring Ajay Devgn,illena , Saurabh Shukla and amalgamation of various theatre
actors fit it to the role superbly. The chemistry between “Baadshaho pair” is
very little and its namesake for the movie.Illena role is very small and to be
frank enough there was no heroine in the movie.Singham lead actor fits
perfectly into the role of perfect government servant who is supremely honest
and very determined in following and exercising rules.Saurabh Shukla essaying
the role of ‘Rameswar singh’ who is corrupted politician and his accent of
Hindi is amazing and makes character watchable.
2.Script and Story line:-Inspired
from true story ;The director Raj Kumar Gupta
makes the movie really
entertaining and the way screenplay and story unfolds is really amazing
.Audience gets hooked and stay in edge of seats .Director has done marvellous
job in building climax and keep the audience guessing till the last moment. Now
a day’s content speaks lot about success and Raid is purely about that.
3.Duration of movie:-Unlike other
traditional bollywood movies where there is mixture of romance, action comedy
included in the plot whether it is necessary or not. Director has taken utmost
care in not including many songs and keeping romance as meagre as possible. The
comedy part is taken care by Tauji(Saurabh Shukla) mother.The movie is sharp
120 mins where content and story is in such a fast pace the audiences do not
need a pinch of any other elements in the movie
4.Ajay Devgn’s acting:-Ajay
acting is to the point and justifies the character to the full extent.It’s one
of his best performances on screen. His
role actually reminded me of Gangajaal’s character.The confidence and honesty
in which he essays the role is impeccable and mind boggling.I am not scared to
say that no other actor would have best fit in the role .It’s actually stunning
that variations and different kinds of movies he is able to do like
Shivaay,Golmaal and now Raid.
The weakpoints in the movie are
its dialogues where the whole movie is being shot in a house.There are some
sequences in the movie between Taauji and Amay Patnaik where they could have
been powerful dialogues written and would have given more weightage to the
character.However there are some really impact full dialogues present but they are very little in the whole
movie.Secondly,Role of Ileana seems to be trimmed a lot or I would say it was
not required for any heroine. Since Raid being inspiration from real life story
I felt better characterization of heroine should have been inorder to justify
the character
Overall ‘Raid’ is must watch for
movie buffs.It is movie worth spending money and it also gives a message that
‘Honesty is the best policy’.So Raid is honest attempt of showcasing Honest government servant
performing his duties at any cost not compromising on rules.
