Overall, "Raaes" is watchable only once for electrifying performances by Shah Rukh Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Talents like Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub and Atul Kulkarni are wasted due to under-written roles. The supremely talented actor gets much chance to show case his talent and he does it with aplomb. The superstar steals the show with his daring avatar speaking much through his eyes and expressing appropriately. Coming to the performances, Shah Rukh Khan makes a good comeback. The dialogues are simply mind blowing especially "Koi Bhi Dhanda Chotha Nahi Hota". What works is admirable cinematography and fine art direction. I loved the original version of "Laila" featuring Zeenat Aman from "Qurbani". Even barring the tuneful and well-choreographed "Udi Udi", none of the songs will be memorable once you leave the theater. This is definitely not the best work from Rahul Dholakia carrying huge expectations. The screenplay loses the track and becomes a typical melodrama in the later half of the film with new to offer.

The songs places hindrance to the flow of the film while action scenes looks tacky. Where to watch Raees (2017) starring Shah Rukh Khan, Mahira Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and directed by Rahul Dholakia. With second half, the movie starts dragging and sometimes feel out of places. The first half does have few tense moments to sail it through. The first scene between Shah Rukh and Nawaz at the police station is good. His witty one-liners are impeccable and you will enjoy each and every moment of it. The film becomes an interesting watch, moment Nawazuddin enters the scene. The film kicks off in 1970 showing how a small boy becomes a local bootlegger into full grown small time smuggler, Shah Rukh, who steals the scene with his entry and uses his tactics to setup his own independent liquor business. Raees is available to watch, stream, download and buy on demand at Netflix, Apple TV, Google Play and YouTube VOD. From the director of National Award winning,"Parzania" and "Lamha", Rahul Dholakia gives his first attempt at the commercial potboiler and is fairly successful. Inspired by the true story of liquor don, Abdul Latif, who ruled Gujarat and even few parts of India, "Raees" tells the rags-to-rich tale of Raees Alam (played by Shah Rukh Khan) who faces the heat at the peak of his supremacy by a tough cop (played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui). Does "Raees" lives up to the mammoth expectations ? Well, it was almost there with few glitches and few engaging moments. The trailer looked promising bringing back the 80's Bollywood era and so were the dialogue promos and the songs. After being in making for past 2 years and being shelved for multiple reasons, "Raees" finally sees the light of the day.
