Wazir is the story of three characters and how fate brings them together in the game of life where winner takes it all and the loser has to fall.
Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) officer Daanish Ali lives a blissful life with his wife Ruhana and daughter Noorie. In a dramatic turn of events he crosses paths with a wheelchair-bound chess master named Pandit Omkar Nath Dhar and they develop a strong friendship 'Atarangi yaari'.
The jovial Pandit who believes that 'Vodka peene ke baad pandit mahapandit ban jata hai' comes as a ray of hope in the life of Daanish Ali. The moments where Panditjee tries to make Daanish laugh are so real that you can actually feel the bond the two share.
Panditjee ~ 'Upar wala poochega mujhse itni lambi zindagi di kya ukhad liya tumne, main kahunga maine ek yaar ko hasna sikha diya.' 

Amitabh Bachchan must be the only Bollywood actor who keeps experimenting with his looks and voice. His dialogue delivery has made the characters played by him immortal whether it is Vijay Deenanath Chauhan of Agnipath(1990) or Vijay Verma of Deewar(1975).

When you work with the best some of their aura is transferred to you too. Proving this statement right even Farhan Akhtar effortlessly manages to transform into Daanish Ali. He looks  lean and at the same time muscular. His pain and frustration is so real that you sympathize with him.

Aditi Roy Hydari's look and dressing is so perfect that she looks like an ethereal beauty.


"Tu Mere Paas"  composed and sung by Ankit Tewari is so melodious that you can hear it continuously on loop.
Several reviews suggested that the suspense was too lame and the film loses speed after interval. The film is just 102 minutes long and even without the not so special appearance by John Abraham there is too much going on which will keep you rooted to your seats.
In a line don't expect the film to be an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece and you won't be disappointed.
Must watch for Mr. Bachchan's fans. Good one time watch.
