Wazir

It's Farhan of the first half, who makes you take note of him as a dramatic performer. By the time we get to the end, even he seems jaded and lacklustre. Like the film itself.

If there's something faintly absurd about the equation of characters to pieces, Chopra and Nambiar - wily teacher and keen student - move them around the board with dexterity and efficiency. It's a fun game to watch.

It is disheartening to begin 2016 like this. Fortunately, the only way from here is up.

Apart from the smart storyline, powerful performances are the backbone of Wazir.
