a5c7b9f00b A grief-stricken cop and an amputee grandmaster are brought together by a peculiar twist of fatepart of a wider conspiracy that has darkened their lives. &#39;Wazir&#39; is a tale of two unlikely friends, a wheelchair-bound chess grandmaster and a brave ATS officer. Brought together by grief and a strange twist of fate, the two men decide to help each other win the biggest games of their lives. But there&#39;s a mysterious, dangerous opponent lurking in the shadows, who is all set to checkmate them. By mid way any average Indian movie buff will realize the plot, however the director has done a great job at bringing it together at the end.<br/><br/>Amazing act by everyone involved, however the problem persists often not their fault but Bollywood tends to stretch the emotional content in the anticipation that more is never enough for the Indian audience so used to heavy emotional content and a thick skin.<br/><br/>like many other - &quot;Could have been amazing movies&quot; much of the screenplay is wasted to justify emotions, where more could have been delivered from a script perspective.<br/><br/>Again overall a serious well executed screenplay definitely a watch. A pawn and rook game checkmates the king but never learns to mind the surroundings…<br/><br/>There&#39;s so much to appreciate about this film but somehow it falls short of being perfect.<br/><br/>The good things first.Director Bejoy Nambiar choose the perfect cast for the film and manages to deliver a brilliant screenplay.The film starts off in style with a slow motion video song portraying the life of Daanish Ali(Farhan Akhtar) and his family.Right after it takes up the pace of a thriller.A cop and a chess grand master separated by time &amp; connected by a similar tragedy meet together to hunt down their common evil king in this intelligent thriller.<br/><br/>The plot is the most powerful part of this film.It uses the real life characters metaphorically with the chess pieces on a chessboard. Vidhu Vinod Chopra&#39;s story was exceptional in Bollywood.The film packs itself up in only 105 minutes which is quite rare in Bollywood.But its short duration and fast pace is its advantagewellits disadvantage.The film runs apace and never waits for emotions to build up correctly.The presence or absence of the characters make no difference but the selfish plot keeps going.If only the director gave the movie a little more run time.<br/><br/>Besides all other things are very impressive.The technique is a class in this movie and so are its dialogues.The music is also good.<br/><br/>A rare duration &amp; stylish screenplay make Wazir a unique film,some bonus stars for the intellectual plot; somehow I felt it is underrated.<br/><br/>A must watch for those who often criticize Bolly movie plots.I bet you&#39;ll never be disappointed.
