![]() The screenplay loses the track and becomes a typical melodrama in the later half of the film with new to offer. The songs places hindrance to the flow of the film while action scenes looks tacky. With second half, the movie starts dragging and sometimes feel out of places. The first half does have few tense moments to sail it through. The first scene between Shah Rukh and Nawaz at the police station is good. His witty one-liners are impeccable and you will enjoy each and every moment of it. The film becomes an interesting watch, moment Nawazuddin enters the scene. The film kicks off in 1970 showing how a small boy becomes a local bootlegger into full grown small time smuggler, Shah Rukh, who steals the scene with his entry and uses his tactics to setup his own independent liquor business. From the director of National Award winning,"Parzania" and "Lamha", Rahul Dholakia gives his first attempt at the commercial potboiler and is fairly successful. Inspired by the true story of liquor don, Abdul Latif, who ruled Gujarat and even few parts of India, "Raees" tells the rags-to-rich tale of Raees Alam (played by Shah Rukh Khan) who faces the heat at the peak of his supremacy by a tough cop (played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui). Does "Raees" lives up to the mammoth expectations ? Well, it was almost there with few glitches and few engaging moments. The trailer looked promising bringing back the 80's Bollywood era and so were the dialogue promos and the songs. After being in making for past 2 years and being shelved for multiple reasons, "Raees" finally sees the light of the day.
