For
whatsover
reasons,
you
cannot
afford
to
ignore
a
Tigmanshu
Dhulia
movie.
After
winning
acclodes
with
movies
like
Paan
Singh
Tomar,
Saheb
Biwi
Gangster,
Dhulia's
new
offering
Bullet
Raja
merges
power,
politics,
action
and
love,
resulting
in
a
heady
cocktail
that
hits
your
mind.
Featuring
Saif
Ali
Khan,
Sonakshi
Sinha
and
Vidyut
Jamwal,
Bullet
Raja
is
a
hi-octane
drama
flick,
set
against
the
backdrop
of
Uttar
Pradesh-based
mafia
while
dealing
with
the
political
and
industrial
powers
of
the
state.
Like
most
of
Dhulia's
earlier
films,
Bullet
Raja
too
is
raw,
unrefined,
rustic
and
unique
in
it's
own
way.
Story:
The
story
of
Bullet
Raja
revolves
around
Raja
Mishra,
a
commoner,
who
gets
transformed
into
Bullett
Raja
-
a
notorious,
care
a
damn
attitude
gangster.
A
faithful
friend
and
a
loyal
lover,
living
life
on
his
own
terms,
setting
his
own
rules,
commanding
respect
and
fearing
no
one,
Bullett
Raja
in
his
true
inimitable
style
takes
on
the
system
that
creates
people
like
him
in
a
compelling
struggle
for
power
and
ambition.
Mishra's
character
commands
respect,
but
at
the
same
time
he
makes
sure
he
respects
women.
Although
he
is
a
gangster
where
he
finds
glory
with
guns,
the
movie
also
has
for
us
some
instances
of
romance
between
Saif
and
Sonakshi
Sinha,
who
plays
Mishra's
love
interest
in
the
flick.
This
gangster
has
his
lady
love
to
whom
he
is
very
loyal.
What's
Good?
Tigmanshu
sets
things
up
skillfully
in
the
first
hour.
Like
most
of
Dhulia's
movie,
Bullet
Raja
too
boasts
of
some
fiery
and
impactful
dialogues,
bringing
a
vital
spark
in
the
movie,
that
flows
so
effortlessly.
Performances:
As
for
Saif
Ali
Khan,
you'll
get
to
see
a
bit
of
Langda
Tyagi
in
Bullet
Raja.
Saif's
looks,
his
mannerisms,
his
body
language,
his
overall
behavioral
pattern
takes
you
by
complete
surprise
in
Bullet
Raja.
From
a
sophisticated
charmer
to
a
rustic
gunda,
Saif
makes
the
audience
believe
him.
Sonakshi
Sinha
looks
beautiful,
but
she's
again
repetative.
Sinha
doesn't
get
to
do
much
in
the
movie,
while
Vidyua
Jamwal
on
the
other
hand,
is
just
'wow'.
Verdict:
Bullet
Raja
might
not
be
Dhulia's
finest
work,
but
this
one
is
worth
one
time
watch.
On
the
whole,
apart
from
Dulia's
midas
touch,
Bullet
Raja
works
big
time
due
to
Saif's
power-pack
performance.
