Raazi

Raazi opens with quiet, grounded setup that reviewers found refreshingly free of Bollywood excess, builds steadily through a morally complex first half, then detonates emotionally in the second half with the killing sequences and the Iqbal confrontation earning near-universal praise as devastating and unforgettable. The film sustains high sentiment throughout with only minor dips in the slower expository stretches, anchored by Alia Bhatt's performance and Meghna Gulzar's refusal to demonize either side. The epilogue lands as a moving tribute, leaving audiences with a sense of quiet, earned reverence rather than triumphalism.
