Too predictable for a thriller and too inconsistent to be a drama, ‘Wazir’ must have been interesting on paper but doesn’t quite work as a movie. The first half moves at a snail’s pace not to forget some immemorable songs and then picks up post interval but one can easily guess what’s in store for the audience.
Even then, the last twenty odd minutes are filmed well; Director Bejoy Nambiar’s ‘Wazir’ penned by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Abhijat Joshi is watcheable just once for that alone. Both Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar are good in their roles.

About Abhirup Dhar
I don't watch movies... I live them! Let me introduce myself.
Abhirup Dhar was born in Kolkata and is still being brought up in India. A banker by profession, he is filmy to the core and is passionate about reviewing movies and writing. He likes to live on his own… he likes to be blunt, sarcastic, famous, infamous, confident, over-confident, moody at times… he likes to be himself. He is imperfect because perfection is boring.
His love for movies dates back to his childhood days when he studied in a boarding school. A three-month Winter Vacation every year… and he made sure he watched as many movies then. Parents thought it was a phase... he knew it was Passion and he knew it back then itself. The craziness to watch movies on the Big Screen began during the last two years of school when he literally bunked to town so that he could catch up with the new Hindi Movie releases. Some thought he was plain crazy. He confirmed it was Passion... yet again.
The hard fact is that not always can you walk a path you are passionate about. You have expectations to fulfill and Life to be made. But Life gives you chances and you have to grab them. So... here is he... your friendly critic who will be giving you his Verdict every week so that you can decide which release is worth your moolah and which is not!
See you at the Movies! Stay connected at Facebook and Twitter!Tags:
