Wazir (2016)

the audience applauded

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Boring

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The person who knows sorrow behind the silence of a person. This movie tell you that if personal life is affected by professional life then he will do his duties without taking care of his life.

There are many good things about 'Wazir'. First off, this is a film that's backed by writing. Look, look, a plot. Hallelujah. Such a relief after so many plot less wonders masquerading as movies. Next, it brings back the actor in Amitabh Bachchan. And third, it respects our time, keeping things ticking at just over a neat 1.5 hours. 'Wazir' is about the coming together of two wounded men, very different in age and temperament, for a mutual purpose. Danish Ali (Farhan Akhtar) is recovering, with excruciating slowness, from a deeply personal tragedy; his wife Ruhana (Aditi Rao Hydari) is suffering too, in her own solitary corner. He meets up with the wheelchair-bound Pandit Omkarnath Dhar (Amitabh Bachchan), and gets sucked into the latter's world, which is full of light and darkness, the contradictions arising from a painful past loss, and a present trying to come to terms with it. Also read: Five reasons why Wazir can be worth watching No time is wasted in building up the swift-yet-tender romance between Danish and Ruhana: Farhan Akhar is excellent as the anti-terrorist officer who uses both brain and brawn to tackle the mystery which lurks at the heart of the film, and ​grandmeister ​Amitabh Bachchan shows us, in a couple of beautifully-realized scenes in which he dispenses all mannered flourish, the skill sets he still possesses. I sat through the gripping first half without moving a muscle, for fear of missing something.

So this is another charged performance from veteran Bachchan Sir and an equally challenging role portrayed with simplicity by Farhan. The story and narration is quite different from traditional bollywood movies and it dares the other filmmakers in the Bollywood to rethink their understanding of good movies. The movie has very strong characters, twisted plot line and huge expectations as Vidhu Vinod and Amitabh Sir share the credentials.However I think that director was not able to maintain the story with all the weight it got. The ending of movie became very predictable halfway through the story making it just a formality to watch the complete movie. The reference to chess strategies makes the ending more predictable if one has sound knowledge of chess. Although Sir and Farhan gave the characters the portrayal they deserved, the movie became easy to predict by regular strategic moves. I must say, if you love chess then you should target to have all the chess sets shown in movie. They are one of the very few things I liked in this movie.

By mid way any average Indian movie buff will realize the plot, however the director has done a great job at bringing it together at the end.Amazing act by everyone involved, however the problem persists often not their fault but Bollywood tends to stretch the emotional content in the anticipation that more is never enough for the Indian audience so used to heavy emotional content and a thick skin.like many other - "Could have been amazing movies" much of the screenplay is wasted to justify emotions, where more could have been delivered from a script perspective.Again overall a serious well executed screenplay definitely a watch.
