Romeo Akbar Walter

Not sure about the other reviews but I think it was definitely a good script, good acting. Worth 8 stars.

Raazi was praised because an Indian 'woman' spy 'marries' a 'Pakistani' and reporting to India. Nothing else. Oh, a woman could do this. She did that. Oh, how courageous. It's more of a woman-centered film than a patriotic film. That's where Romeo Akbar Walter aka RAW differs.

RAW is very simple and cliche from the beginning scene. There is nothing interesting nor anything different in the film. It will take a lot of patience to sit through the film unless cliche is OK. It isn't boring at any point though nor is it over the top in any scene. But the last 20 minutes and the last 10 minutes are worth the entire film. The climax is beautiful and painful at the same time. It so much reminded me the pain of the character(s) in the film '1971' starring Manoj Bajpai (which probably is the best film on 'Indians in Pakistani soil')

Do give this a watch. It's worth it (and if you haven't watched '1971', oh please do watch that too - a well written film).

I think people downrating it comparing it to Raazi are misguided. The overall story is much more complex than Raazi. I do think that it could have done with more deft execution but I didn't find it as slow as websites are saying. Reviews by media houses are pathologically biased because the movie is based on a nationalistic theme. Its definitely not a bore and is pretty intense especially in the second half. It's not overtly jingoistic and maintains a good realistic tone. Infact, the conclusion is much better than Raazi. I felt that the story with Mouni Roy could have been done away with. The true surprise is Jackie Shroff. He's a complete show stealer. Overall its a solid 8 from me.

Movie is a decent one time watch with few good surprises and the ending though bit predictable, is very beautifully executed. John is almost good in his role, only problem with him was he wasnt able to showcase all emotions properly, one such example of such role would be of Leonardo decaprio in The Departed, he would actually show his real self once he is alone and audience will get familiar with him. Here john remains a silent person throughout the movie which sort of looked like a shortcoming on his character part. Rest cast was ok. Surprises were good but still it lacked the sharpness possessed by Raazi. Overall again it can be said, its a decent one time watch, because Bollywood makes great peaces of crap and this flick surely is among good attempts towards better cinema. one time only

Nature of the film is diffrent than others its a good film good direction and cinematography John Abraham's performance is damn good.except the laging of first half the film gives a superb second half and a mindich blowing climax.in the secind half lots of twists and turns there overall good film worth to watch
