A Brilliant Conflict

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Movie is so predictable. Maybee its due to moderate editing. Overall concept & script was awesome. Dialogues are good too. Far better then most of Bollywood Movies .All movie is just rolling around 4 or 5 persons most of the time. As usual romance in Bollywood always so bad. , they are just looking at each other all the movie till the end,and background music make it worst.

A pawn and rook game checkmates the king but never learns to mind the surroundings...There's so much to appreciate about this film but somehow it falls short of being perfect.The good things first.Director Bejoy Nambiar choose the perfect cast for the film and manages to deliver a brilliant screenplay.The film starts off in style with a slow motion video song portraying the life of Daanish Ali(Farhan Akhtar) and his family.Right after it takes up the pace of a thriller.A cop and a chess grand master separated by time & connected by a similar tragedy meet together to hunt down their common evil king in this intelligent thriller.The plot is the most powerful part of this film.It uses the real life characters metaphorically with the chess pieces on a chessboard. Vidhu Vinod Chopra's story was exceptional in Bollywood.The film packs itself up in only 105 minutes which is quite rare in Bollywood.But its short duration and fast pace is its advantage as well as its disadvantage.The film runs apace and never waits for emotions to build up correctly.The presence or absence of the characters make no difference but the selfish plot keeps going.If only the director gave the movie a little more run time.Besides all other things are very impressive.The technique is a class in this movie and so are its dialogues.The music is also good.A rare duration & stylish screenplay make Wazir a unique film,some bonus stars for the intellectual plot; somehow I felt it is underrated.A must watch for those who often criticize Bolly movie plots.I bet you'll never be disappointed.

Beautifully thought & written script with adaptive acting of Farhan Akhtar, helplessness of Specially abled Amitabh Bachchan, the dual faced cruel Politically powerful Minister, the pains & the Game of Chess. But the predictiveness of the story and lack of practicality along with lack of technical skills of commando fighting. Could have shown in a better way. Rather this movie is made for people with high mental skills, which seldom came in Bollywood. Must watch for people looking for some tricky & brainy stuff. Movie lost its marks for the lack of techniques in the fighting & countering skills. Rather the plot is well planned & well written. Content is of much higher level of Intelligence, for which Farhan Akhtar is made for.

I had a high expectation from Bejoy Nambiar's Wazir and its safe to say that I am a satisfied customer. Good thing about the story is the out of the box thinking and the cruelty of real world political leaders. The stage play in the end, described the Omkarnath Special pretty well like any other good Mystery movie. However, the screenplay could have been better. The movie dragged the separation segment of Danish and Rohana a bit too much which gave the Bollywoodish look and missed some crucial parts on the main story. For example defining a little much more on how Omkarnath faked the caller ID and other things like that. The repetitions of "Khel Khel" and some dialogues were also annoying. The action in the movie was a bit more than required. But overall, the movie is worth watching and the acting from both Farhan and Amit Sir will touch your heart. If you are a mystery movie fan, then its a must watch.
