Razakar Review

Yatna Satyanarayana helmed movie Razakar brings out the significant history of Indians on cinema. The movie depicts in a very poignant manner the story of the atrocities of Muslim rulers on the local Hindu population while Indias were struggling for independence. Until now, many only had kowledge about the struggle of Jammu & Kashmir during the independence, but the movie promises to tell the grappling story of Hyderabad. Do you know what struggles Hyderbad faced to merge with India? Do you know what they went through in order to merge with India? Everything is answered in movie itself.

How Home Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel played a major role in the victory of Hyderabad's freedom is perfectly shown in the movie. From featuring the cruelty of Nizams to the struggle of Hindus, the movies touches some of the sesitive and derrogatory topics. How brutally Hindus were killed and insulted will undoubtedly bring tears in your eyes. Thankfully the story takes an exciting turn in the end showing how Hindus took revenge against the barbarism.

Razakar Actors' Performance

Raj Arjun has done an outstanding job in the movie. His acting does justice to the role played as he will make you hate the the character Razakar Vasim Rizvi.

Razakar Final Verdict

Razakar gets 4 out of 5. The movie will indulge you in the story. Razakar tells the story that is not yet openly told by many, therefore, you will enjoy the movie througout. If you are not a fan of extreme movies that are based on religion, then skip it.
