And when Bollywood showcases them feeling helpless and getting decimated, the common man, even though transiently,feels empowered.
Hence, movies like RAID are more than just welcomed and looked upon with sincere expectations. Unfortunately though, the product seldom matches the assumption.
RAID hence, is another lost opportunity. At best, it is just another average film which runs out of ideas post intermission.
Based on true events, it begins promisingly. Slowly and steadily building up the tension and throwing up genuine laughs in between. Both the protagonist and the antagonist matching up and matching well.
But soon, predictablilty surfaces and from there on, it is all redundant and repetitive.
The problem doesn't just begin, it further amplifies after the interval.
Post-interval it is painstakingly abyssmal. Absolutely nothing to keep us intrigued, nothing left to suprise and nothing causing an emotional orgasm.
And when the job is finally done, it just ain't clapworthy. Never for once, giving you the high, never truly making you feel empowered.
A movie which can easily be avoided.
