Wazir is a smart movie - which could have been way smarter. Wazir is held together by Amitabh Bachchan who shows why he is the Grandmaster of this game. But the tension just isn't hard enough.But when it over-indulges itself - its writers and editors are the same - the game slips into stalemate. It's a pity because Wazir's lead performances, its glassy cinematography, its haunting sound design, work well. What this game needed was more attack, less defence, less repetition, more relentlessness.

Predictability and loose sense of detailing are the biggest giveaways for this thriller. Based on an intelligent game like Chess, the writers seem to have played their weakest moves. If you were planning to watch Wazir as a thriller then no point!

Like most of Bejoy Nambiar's movies, this one's quite stylish too. Fortunately, Bejoy concentrates on dramatic presentations of realistic scenes. What works against the film, however, is loads of groan worthy cliches, predictable storyline and worst of all, it also suffers from the common woe of most Bollywood thrillers; lack of subtlety. There is nothing left to audience's imagination as the director goes about painstakingly explaining every move, every turn of the story. 'Wazir' is a good, one time watch.

There is so much happening in Wazir on so many levels that you come away with a feeling of having lived through a lifetime’s experience compressed into a tightly edited (by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Abhijat Joshi) exposition on a relationship of shared grief. Till the end, Wazir remains true to its purpose, of conveying the emotions that underline the action. Its failing, if we can call it that, is that the characters do not stay with us long enough for us to know them well.Never mind, better a film that moves away quickly rather than one that overstays its welcome. This looks like a terrific year ahead for Bollywood. Wazir is a solid start. A gripping thriller anchored by Bachchan and Akhtar’s compelling compatibility. Not to be missed.
