PLOT: Raees(SRK), from Fatehpur, Gujarat gets involved in illegal liquor trade at a very young age. Along with Sadiq(Zeeshan), Raees works for a notorious gangster Jairaj(Atul), smuggles alcohol illegally by bribing the police.

Majmudar(Nawaz), wants to end this illegal liquor trade as well as Raees's empire.Is he Majmuder able to do this or Raees saves his all by beating Majmuder forms rest of the story.

PERFORMANCE: Shah Rukh is good as always,casts in a character that has grey shades.The person who steals the show is Nawaz.Starting from the entry scene,he delivers a brilliant performance.Maahira has nothing to do.Atul Kulkarni makes his presence felt with a committed performance.

MUSIC: is composed by Ram Sampath."Zaalima" is the only song which u can remembe.Sunny Leone starrer Laila o Laila is recreated which is also good.

The first hour unravels at a feverish pace, making you thirst for the second half. But it’s here that the problem arises. The pace slackens soon after the intermission and the romantic song and a few sequences act as spoilers.Climax sequence is not also impressive.

Overall,Raees is one time watch for SRK & Nawaz.

KAABIL

KAABIL :  is a 2017 Indian Hindi-language crime drama film, directed by Sanjay Gupta starring Hrithik Roshan, Yami Gautam, Ronit Roy, Rohit Roy, Narendra Jha.

PLOT: Rohan(Hrithik) is a kind, happy young man who has been blind since birth and works as a voice-over artist for a living. Through friends, he meets Supriya(Yami), a working woman who is also blind, but proudly independent. The two start liking each other and get married.Oneday Rohan is at work, Amit(Rohit) and Wasim sneak into the house and gang rape Supriya. Rohan’s world is plunged into even more darkness than the one he is born into. Supriya commits suicide after raped by Amit & Wasim for 2nd time.The rapist Amit is the brother of the local corporator, Madhavrao Shellar(Ronit Roy), so the corrupt police officers, played efficiently by Narendra Jha and Girish Kulkarni, drag their feet over the investigation. When the humiliation gets too much to bear, Supriya caves in, leaving Rohan with vendetta on his mind. Rohan decides to fight it out, but his opponents are the powerful and influential . Will he be able to settle scores?

PEFORMANCES: The highlight of the film is Hrithik’s bravura performance. He is vulnerable as a lover and menacing as a killing-machine.Probably, this is Hrithik’s best performance till date. Yami Gautam is unmistakably earnest and catches you unaware with a tremendous act. Her innocence and simplicity act as a magnetic charm. Ronit Roy is at his vicious best here. Absolutely menacing as the conniving politician. Rohit Roy is intimidating and leaves a strong impression.

MUSIC: is composed by Rajesh Roshan. In fact, the film borrows two evergreen compositions from the past [‘Saara Zamana’ and ‘Dil Kya Kare’], but the accomplished composer garnishes them delightfully. The songs “Kaabil”,”Mon Amour” are harmonious.

KAABIL never fails to involve and entertain the moviegoer and if I may say so, it contains enough worthy material to hold the moviegoer’s attention for most of its run time. The emotional component is well balanced with low-key humor, tension-filled moments, energetic action pieces and of course, some razor-sharp and punch-packed dialogue in dramatic sequences [penned by Sanjay Masoomm].

Overall, Kaabil is a must watch film. In the end, it’s the emotional journey of the protagonist that acts as a hook and lingers in your memory 

DANGAL

DANGAL: Dangal (English: Wrestling competition) is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language biographical sports drama film directed by Nitesh Tiwari featuring Aamir Khan, Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra,Girish Kulkarni.

PLOT: When Mahavir Singh Phogat (Aamir), a wrestler from Haryana, loses hope of having a son, he trains his daughters Geeta (Fatima) and Babita (Sanya) to make wrestling history, thus breaking the taboo of Indian women participating in a sport thus far dominated by men.One day, Mahavir gets to know that his young daughters have had an altercation with neighbourhood boys and bashed them black and blue. That’s when he realises that his dream of winning a gold medal for the country in wrestling could be achieved by his daughters. Mahavir decides to train his young daughters into world class wrestlers.The girls are reluctant initially and find it tough to cope with the gruelling training sessions, but soon become proficient in the sport. Will Geeta and Babita manage to fulfill their father’s dream?

PERFORMANCES; DANGAL is, without a shred of doubt, an Aamir Khan show all the way. He takes giant strides as an actor and gives the film the much-needed power. His expressions, body language and the much-talked-about transformation from a fit and fine young wrestler to a pot-bellied, middle-aged father speak volumes. Another commanding performance that needs to be highlighted is that of Sakshi Tanwar. She compliments Aamir’s character marvellously, displaying the varied emotions seamlessly. Fatima is fantastic as Aamir’s daughter, who makes her father and nation proud of her achievements -he actors who portray their younger parts -- Zaira Wasim and Suhani Bhatnagar -- excel.Aparshakti Khurrana is an actor to watch out for. Enacting the part of Aamir's nephew, the youngster not only contributes immensely to some lively and wonderful moments, but also delivers a first-rate performance. Ritwik Sahore [Aparshakti's younger part] is equally efficient. Girish Kulkarni [coach] is, again, a hugely competent actor, who shines in his part.

MUSIC: composed by Pritam.‘Haanikaarak Bapu’, ‘Dhaakad’, ‘Gilehriyaan’ and the title track are already well-liked and the best part is, they have been smartly integrated into the proceedings.

The wrestling sequences are superbly executed. Be it the training sessions or the dhobi-pachhads or vanquishing the opponents in the akhada and in the ring, it’s a delight to watch these sequences on screen. Will surely evoke whistles and applause. Editing [Ballu Saluja] is razor-sharp and watertight. There’s no room for restlessness or boredom here.

Overall,Dangal is them must must must watch for everyone.
