Raees

The creative edge and the commercial disadvantage of Raees is that it is a gangster film with a relatively sensible amount of realism to its credit. The mould of the story is pretty much in the same space of the 80’s Salim-Javed films. But the timely change in the presentation of drama and the way… Continue reading Raees
