I recently finished watching Narcos on Netflix. Its a Netflix original series about Pablo Escobar, the Columbian Drug lord in the 70 and the 80’s.
Initial scenes of Raees are flicked from Narcos and that disappointed me hugely. And later on also, this copy business continued. Rahul could have copied stuff from anywhere else but Narcos!? Why? Narcos has 8.9 rating and is one of the most loved and watched TV series of all times.
Btw, Rahul Dholakia is the writer director. Naam toh suna hoga?
Anyways, storyline is the biggest disappointment and then comes pace. For almost two and half hours this is just too dragged. The music had no feel, the romantic numbers had no passion! I don’t recall any songs, now that am back home. FAN was much better, with zero songs 🙂
Nawazuddin Suddiqui saved the movie from going down too soon. He held Raees for it not to drown. The new heroine Mahira Khan will take some time to give her best. Mahammed Zeeshan Ayyub as SRK’s friend was good but his best performances have been in Ranjhana and Tanu Weds Manu Returns.
I would suggest you watch Narcos instead. If if you have already seen it, watch it again. Its worth it.
If not for Nawazuddin, iss raees ko gareeb bannte waqt nahin lagta. SRK tried being the Indian Pablo Escobar but sadly failed.
