Raees alam runs an illegal alcohol empire in a gujarat shrouded ain prohibition. ACP MAjmudar is in charge of topping him off his high position will Raees's own brand of rightousness save him.vIt gred up for throwback to the grate salim Javed block buster of the seventies where the herp growsup mid action, every decond line is meant to show off the character swagger .A helen song ( sunny leone) breaks the tension and action sequecrs compel you to whistle. Shah Rukh Khan returns in and as Raees, golden hearted mobster who does bad things fora good cause. It is a role constructed to grabback his pole position, and to that end ShahRukh Khan strains at fulfilling every single pointof the In and As trope. He sings and dances, hefights and romances: he also tries to fulfill theoutlines of a character.And that’s where the film gets stuck, betweenthe two stools of restraint and full blowntamasha: the In and As SRK is as familiar as hehas ever been, despite the trimmings added onto induce freshness — the gold rimmed glasses, the kohled eyes, the deliberate delivery, andthat ‘Scarface’ moment full of guns, arcingbullets and spraying blood– which all actorsdream of.Watch | Shah Rukh Khan In His Gangster AvatarHas The Audience CharmedWhich makes Raees a mish-mash of thingswe’ve seen before in a plot which owesallegiance to the real life story of a liquor baronwho made his pile and his name in dry Gujarat.The filmmakers have denied any similarity butanyone with half an eye can see the overlaps –the ingenuity of a man who could think on hisfeet ( hooch-filled tomatoes! ) and cart his maalunder the eye of the cop ( Nawazuddin Siddiqui) who swears to catch him.
