Raazi treads on the same path in giving us what could be the best mainstream movie of the year. Coupled up with Meghna Gulzar's assured direction and Alia Bhatt's brilliant performance, Raazi is a fantastic effort in good story-telling, as well as in paying tribute to those unsung heroes who have dedicated their lives for the safety of our country. A must watch indeed!" Raazi also stars Vick Kaushal, Jaideep Ahlawat, Soni Razdan and Rajit Kapur.
