Direction: Tigmanshu Dhulia
Genre: Action
Duration: 2 hours 18 minutes
Featuring Saif Ali Khan, Sonakshi Sinha and Vidyut Jamwal, Bullet Raja
is a hi-octane drama flick, set against the backdrop of Uttar
Pradesh-based mafia while dealing with the political and industrial
powers of the state. Like most of Dhulia's earlier films, Bullet Raja
too is raw, unrefined, rustic and unique in it's own way.
Bullet Raja: Movie Review
Story:
The story of Bullet Raja revolves around Raja Mishra, a commoner, who
gets transformed into Bullett Raja - a notorious, care a damn attitude
gangster.
A faithful friend and a loyal lover, living life on his own terms,
setting his own rules, commanding respect and fearing no one, Bullett
Raja in his true inimitable style takes on the system that creates
people like him in a compelling struggle for power and ambition.
Mishra's character commands respect, but at the same time he makes sure
he respects women. Although he is a gangster where he finds glory with
guns, the movie also has for us some instances of romance between Saif
and Sonakshi Sinha, who plays Mishra's love interest in the flick. This
gangster has his lady love to whom he is very loyal.
What's Good?
Tigmanshu sets things up skillfully in the first hour. Like most of
Dhulia's movie, Bullet Raja too boasts of some fiery and impactful
dialogues, bringing a vital spark in the movie, that flows so
effortlessly.
Performances:
As for Saif Ali Khan, you'll get to see a bit of Langda Tyagi in Bullet
Raja. Saif's looks, his mannerisms, his body language, his overall
behavioral pattern takes you by complete surprise in Bullet Raja.
From a
sophisticated charmer to a rustic gunda, Saif makes the audience
believe him.
Sonakshi Sinha looks beautiful, but she's again repetative. Sinha
doesn't get to do much in the movie, while Vidyua Jamwal on the other
hand, is just 'wow'.
Verdict:
Bullet Raja might not be Dhulia's finest work, but this one is worth one
time watch. On the whole, apart from Dulia's midas touch, Bullet Raja
works big time due to Saif's power-pack performance.
