Film review : Raazi

Raazi...........At the height of impending 1971 war, a kashmiri girl is married off to a Pakistani army officer.......She succeeds in her mission as an Indian spy but is destroyed as a person in the process................It's a reminder that a war never leaves any victors............The film trusts its audiences' intelligence to figure out certain things..............Even as one or two twists in the story appear too convenient, Meghana Guljar's direction is extremely sure footed and she ensures that the film stays true to its core throughout......Alia Bhat has outdone herself while playing Sehmat, though one or two scenes towards the end of the film, take her to the brink of her acting limits. Vicky Kaushal as the sensitive and loving husband, brings conviction to his part...........Good spy stories are  a rarity in hindi films and those with a female protagonist are even rarer to come by.....Go and savor Raazi!
