Shah Rukh Khan Film Is A Mish-mash Of Things We’ve Seen Before

... of things we’ve seen before. Raees movie review: Shah Rukh Khan breaks through in some moments but is stymied by florid, seen-too-many-times flourishes in Raees. It is Nawazuddin Siddiqui who really shines through. Rating: 2.5 out of 5. Written by Shubhra Gupta | New Delhi |. Updated: January 26, 2017 9:01 am. Raees movie review: Shah Rukh Khan sings and dances, he fights and romances: he also tries to fulfill the outlines of a character. Raees movie cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Mahira Khan , Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Atul Kulkarni. Raees movie director: Rahul Dholakia. Raees movie rating: 2.5. Shah Rukh Khan returns in and as Raees, a golden hearted mobster who does bad things for a good cause. It is a role constructed to grab back his pole position, and to that end Shah Rukh Khan strains at fulfilling every single point of the In and As trope. He sings and dances, he fights and romances: he also tries to fulfill the outlines of a character. And that’s where the film gets stuck, between the two stools of restraint and full blown tamasha: the In and As SRK is as familiar as he has ...

Mainstream Indian Press Has Panned Mahira's Performance In Raees. Why

... used well. She definitely doesn't do much for the story besides being easy on the eye." Times of India complains that Mahira "doesn’t really add much. If her purpose was to soften the baddie, it’s lost on the viewer.". Also read: Mahira promotes Raees in Dubai, says she still can't believe she's cast in the film. Some publications claim that she has no chemistry with SRK. DNA India says, "The romance between SRK and Mahira has no spark." Indian Express calls her character's coyness "old Bollywood". Some of the remarks were rather below-the-belt, like Deccan Chronicle claiming that "Debutante Mahira Khan is awful. She is probably the first ever actress paired opposite Shah Rukh Khan who fails to ignite the spark with her chemistry on screen.". It was a known fact that Mahira has a small role in the film, but did her performance really warrant the all-out bashing? Given that the criticism is at times malacious, instead of constructive, one has to wonder ...

Mahira Khan's Fashion Breakdown

... while they still have motifs and work done on them! Mahira's look in the movie is extremely simplistic. Hence, she is seen wearing embroidered kurtas which do not have heavy embellishments and prints on them. 2. Scoop neck and back. What added a tinge of sexiness to Mahira's looks were the scoop necklines and the deep backs of her kurtas which flaunted her décolleté. 3. Long line kurtas. Most of the kurtas she was seen wearings were full length or ankle length! The kurtas were fitted from the top and then flowed down giving them an elegant fall. 4. Pastel colours. Again, Mahira's looks were rather simplistic, so she stuck to a more subdued pastel colour palate. The colour she was seen wearing the most was a light pastel blue. In fact, other than the song sequences, Mahira is only seen wearing blue in the movie. 5. Long chiffon dupatta. That feminine long flowing chiffon dupatta is a must to add that extra ladylike oomph to your look. Mahira is seen wearing breezy chiffon dupattas with ...

Films are screened for financial benefit. They can not afford to keep screening Assamese films even by incurring loss.". The organization demands screening of Assamese films at least once in a day. "The new arrivals should be ...

Daring Identity Politics Helps A Complicated Portrayal

... Dawood and Mumbai blast linkages. But it is in line with grounding SRK in his faith, and making him rise above it. We begin with a person who puts business above religion and doesn’t intend to harm others. Betrayals lead him to cross over to the dark side. More severe transgressions — like encouraging rioting and violence — follow. Yet he is also the “masiha” (messiah) who feeds the needy and affected. “Neither Hindu, nor Muslim should die of hunger,” says he. He is parallel government to the community. Yet he is not a superman, a man who uses the system as much as he is used; who kills yet cries at his failure to provide housing to his community. Raees is more of a Shakespearean tragic hero, so is his fall. The moral compass remains intact; transgressions are not denied. There is no escaping guilt either. “Mohalla bachate bachate shehar jala diya (In trying to save the neighbourhood I set the town afire,” he says. The crime has to be followed by ...
