This Friday sees the release of Raazi. The film is special since it has Alia Bhatt in a central role and she is the biggest selling point here. Moreover, she is arriving more than a year after Badrinath Ki Dulhania which was an altogether different film in a far more commercial space and genre.
On the other hand Raazi has a much more realistic feel to it and though it does come with commercial ingredients, one cannot expect masses to be thronging theatres from the first day itself.
The film also marks the coming together of Karan Johar as a producer and Meghna Gulzar as the director which is also a unique combination. While former keeps making films at regular intervals, latter is returning a couple of years after Talvar and it would be interesting to see how she narrates this spy tale which is set during India – Pakistan war.
