Rautu Ka Raaz

It's rare to say for a murder mystery but it is a soulful film single handedly carried away by Nawazuddin Siddique on his shoulder. Himalayan setting give the apt atmosphere to the film. It also reminds us after Raat Akeli Hai that how good Nawaz looks as a policeman solving mysteries. Director Anand Surpur has done a wonderful job with the simple script he has in his hand. Rajesh Kumar as Inspector Dimri also add flavor to the film and conversations between him and Nawaz bring humor to the otherwise dull film.

Background story of Negi should be elaborated to the audience for attachment with the character.

"This movie may start off at a slow pace, and some scenes may feel exaggerated, particularly those featuring Inspector Dinesh Negi.

However, the film's clever plot twist will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Just when you think you've identified the culprit, the tables turn, and the real murderer is revealed. The U-Turn in the story is expertly executed, making the movie a thrilling ride from start to finish.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui's exceptional acting skills and comedic timing add to the entertainment value, keeping the audience engaged throughout. The film's slow and steady pace ultimately pays off, making it a worthwhile watch."

"The story skillfully weaves a tale of how good individuals can be misled and suspected by exploiting their vulnerabilities.

It highlights how criminal minds, particularly women in this case, cleverly manipulate these weaknesses to fulfill their sinister desires. The narrative expertly showcases how innocent people can be trapped in a web of deceit, making it a gripping and thought-provoking thriller."

Neat and nice movie without any tamasha. Directly involved in solving the case. Superb screenplay storyline and photography. Thank to all. This is amazing investigation story with humour. All actors and actresses have played their roles very realistically and just like natural acting. It was great experience to watch and feel the real investigation rather than usual typical filmy. I love this movie you can watch this movie with entire family and friends. Locations suited to story and all charactors in this movie are likr real and especially those who have played the roles of blinds. Hats off to them.

Every frame of the screenplay has been utilised with utmost perfection including the subtle humour of the characters. Thanks to the #OTT platforms! The ending of the movie is really well thought of. I was thinking what if this movie was released at the theatre and the hard work and the talent, whole team had put would have gone in vain. I loved Uttarakhand background as all the scenes were so scenic and mesmerising. The movie is less than 2 hours which makes a huge difference as it shows the team had put lot of efforts in editing. Last but not the least kudos to the casting director for selecting such an amazing star cast for this movie! Cheers!

It's been a long time since we've seen Nawaz in a leading role with a decent storyline, and finally, he is back.

The story is set in the small village of Raut, Uttarakhand. A team of amateur police officers, led by Nawaz, is investigating the murder of a warden at a school for the blind.

The movie wastes no time jumping into the plot, engaging you from the start. The small-town police procedures are captured accurately. The proceedings are neatly packed as they unravel layer after layer, and the reveal is both unexpected and well justified.

The beautiful locale of Uttarakhand is brilliantly used by the cinematographer, making the viewing experience quite refreshing. The pace of the movie is slow, and there is minimal use of technology, Sherlock Holmes-level investigation, or any out-of-the-box tricks, which prevents the movie from being top-notch.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui performs his role with sheer honesty, though he lacks the demeanor one might expect from a police officer character in movies. Rajesh Kumar is a surprise and plays his part well. The real heroes are the blind children who act with such honesty. Atul Tiwari, Narayan Shastri, and others are decent.

It is a good crime thriller suitable for a lazy Sunday afternoon, with a twist you won't see coming. It needs more "masala" to be outstanding but is a good attempt and worth watching. #pranureviews #RautuKaRaaz #RautuKaRaazReview.
