Jyotirath Mitra A pawn and rook game checkmates the king but never learns to mind the surroundings...There's so much to appreciate about this film but somehow it falls short of being perfect.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 & connected by a similar tragedy meet together to hunt down their common evil king in this intelligent thriller.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'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 advantage as well as its 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.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.A rare duration & stylish screenplay make Wazir a unique film,some bonus stars for the intellectual plot; somehow I felt it is underrated.A must watch for those who often criticize Bolly movie plots.I bet you'll never be disappointed.

Tanuj Poddar This is a gripping story that has been beautifully enacted by Amitabh and Farhan. It is a story about two fathers who have lost their daughters. One is a Chess guru (panditji played by Amitabh) who lost her daughter in what he feels was a hushed-up murder, and the other is a ATS officer (daanish played by Farhaan) whose daughter got hit during a shootout while he was trailing a terrorist. This is the basis of a bonding between panditji and daanish. Panditji teaches him using chess metaphors that one has to make sacrifices, wait for the right time and use the resources at hand to win. And sometimes you win by losing. It was a sharp and gripping movie and doesn't stretch very long unnecessarily. Though there are some things that the director could have placed more emphasis so that the movie didn't feel incomplete. The friendship between Daanish and Panditji doesn't come out strongly enough to make you believe that Daanish would do what all he did, only for his friendship. The character of the minister/terrorist was not developed well enough, it could have been given more depth. The chemistry between Daanish and his wife was given much time, but it had minimal impact on the story. The climax where the minister was ambushed didn't have the needed impact. Even the song in the end that was supposed to unravel the mastermind, wasn't created well enough to really intrigue the mind of the viewers. All said and done, it was still a good story with great performance by Amitabh and Farhan. It could have been a little better if the screenplay would have allowed other characters to make a little more impact on the story.

Filmaholic_Khan I had a high expectation from Bejoy Nambiar's Wazir and its safe to say that I am a satisfied customer. Good thing about the story is the out of the box thinking and the cruelty of real world political leaders. The stage play in the end, described the Omkarnath Special pretty well like any other good Mystery movie. However, the screenplay could have been better. The movie dragged the separation segment of Danish and Rohana a bit too much which gave the Bollywoodish look and missed some crucial parts on the main story. For example defining a little much more on how Omkarnath faked the caller ID and other things like that. The repetitions of "Khel Khel" and some dialogues were also annoying. The action in the movie was a bit more than required. But overall, the movie is worth watching and the acting from both Farhan and Amit Sir will touch your heart. If you are a mystery movie fan, then its a must watch.
