Raado Movie Review: Raado is a perfect comeback of Director Krishnadev Yagnik. After blockbusters like Chhello Divas and Karsandas Pay and Use, Krishnadev Yagnik has returned with a complete tod-for movie.
This movie has been the most chaotic Gujarati movie till now. So many things about this movie are heavy and powerful. Hiten Kumaar, Hitu Kanodia, and Yash Soni! Stunning acting performances. The theme of this movie is pretty dark and the way Director Krishnadev has created it is simply revolutionary for Gujarati Chalchitra Industry. His direction is clap worthy in some of the scenes.
The editing of this movie is also impressive almost all the time. Talking about the screenplay, it’s so good man, so good. You won’t even have time to blink an eye. Fast-paced screenplay and banger background scores. The utilization of Ahmedabad’s locations is very good.
Chase sequences and destruction scenes were breathtaking and realistic. If we come to the acting, there are so many names that I can’t even mention all of them here. Surprisingly the movie is rated R, which is a bit off since I felt it should’ve been PG13 for a wider reach. There’s no such brutality or profanity to rate the movie R.
There’s only one song in the movie and it’s also for a glimpse. Feels good that Director didn’t waste time on useless, unnecessary romance and all; since the movie needed to keep its dark tone. It helped the movie to create tension all the time on what’s gonna happen next. Hiten Kumaar, Yash Soni, Nikita Sharma, and Hitu Kanodia’s acting performances are a bright highlight of this movie.
Talking about the story, I’m not gonna spoil everything here since it’s one of the main things that holds the audience. In short, the city is in chaos and everyone is fighting their own battles. Who’s wrong and who’s right? Let yourself decide.
There are some good drone shots and good camera work that can be seen throughout the movie.
However, there are negatives as well. In some scenes, the camera is too shaky that you won’t be able to see what’s happening on the screen. Also, there are so many characters and not all of them are introduced properly. In writing, so many things are left out for some reasons; maybe to keep the screenplay tight or runtime shorter.
Some relationships between some characters aren’t properly explained. Also, the movie has an open ending. I mean it concludes the story but some things are left out; which for sure can open the gates of sequels. The movie is 2 hours 22 minutes long including the credits and believe me, you won’t feel bored at all.
In concluding my review, Raado is a fantastic movie filled with stellar performances, amazing background scores, and a unique story; ideally fresh for Gujarati cinema. Edge of a seat movie. I’m giving Raado a movie 3.5 stars out of 5. If you’ve watched it, let me know your thoughts!
