Movie Review : Bullet Raja

After successful films like Paan Singh Tomar and Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, Tigmanshu Dhulia comes out with Bullet Raja, a desi action flick.

The plot revolves around Raja Mishra who accidentally gets involved in a shootout. The circumstances then leads to the transformation of Raja Mishra into a deadly gangster. In this journey he is accompanied by Rudra, as they step into the politics and violence of Uttar Pradesh.

Bullet Raja is not an over the top entertainer which actually is a plus point of the film. Tigmanshu shows some really dark sides of politics. He also adds some great dialogues and action which provide some extra punch and weight to the film. The first half of the film is well paced and entertaining but somewhere the pace of the film drips down in the second half. More over, the 20 minutes extra duration of the film could have been reduced making the film look even better.

Another major highlight of the film is some great performances. Saif Ali khan as Raja Mishra and Jimmy Shergill as Rudra are outstanding. Sonakshi Sinha as Mitali is just used as an arm candy and doesn't have much part to play. Vidyut Jamwal in his cameo appearance as inspector acts well and adds extra punch with some of his great action skills. Chunky Pandey as Lallan, Ravi kishan as Yadav, Gulshan Grover as Bajaj, Raj Babbar as Ram Babu act well and have done complete justice to their roles.

Music by Sajid-Wajid turns out to be average.

Editing in the first half is crisp whereas in the second half it could have been better.

So, what do we conclude?

Plus Points :
● The Movie is not an over the top entertainer.
● Well paced and entertaining first half.
● Outstanding performances by the star cast.
● Some great Dialogues.

Negative Points:

● Extra duration of about 20 minutes.

So, if you like watching Desi Action Political Thrillers then Bullet Raja surely deserves a watch once.

Overall, Bullet Raja turns out to be a decent flick which deserves a one time watch.
