PLOT

                                                                Raees lives by the principle of his mother that no job is small, and no faith is greater than business unless it does not cause any trouble to anyone. He starts to work for a local gangster, Jairaj along with his friend, Sadiq in the smuggling of alcohol in the state of Gujarat where it is banned. He soon rises in his business and parts away from Jairaj. He grows phenomenally and becomes far away from the reach of other gangsters, he is transforming himself into a single most powerful man, but in each phase of his business he faces the strong opposition of Inspector Majmudar whose sole purpose is the elimination of crime. So, the battle between Raees and Majmudar goes on.

                                                                Raees will be a great experience for those who love the old Bollywood Gangster movies, because it has all the element of action, romance (no great romance sequence is present) and punch scenes for the hero, recreation of the 70s and 80s were also good. Art department does a good job. Overall, it’s a watchable flick but cannot be a suggestion for anyone who wishes for something different.

                                                                Raees is a 2017 crime movie by Rahul Dholakia. Before the release of the movie there was a rumour that the movie is about the real-life story of Abdul Latif, a gangster in the Gujarat. But the filmmakers rejected all the news. It was also in the controversy for including Mahira khan in their cast, because the tensions between India and Pakistan were in its peak due to Uri Terrorist Attack. The producer Farhan Akthar still includes her with their team.
