Romeo Akbar Walter

Movie is a decent one time watch with few good surprises and the ending though bit predictable, is very beautifully executed. John is almost good in his role, only problem with him was he wasnt able to showcase all emotions properly, one such example of such role would be of Leonardo decaprio in The Departed, he would actually show his real self once he is alone and audience will get familiar with him. Here john remains a silent person throughout the movie which sort of looked like a shortcoming on his character part. Rest cast was ok. Surprises were good but still it lacked the sharpness possessed by Raazi. Overall again it can be said, its a decent one time watch, because Bollywood makes great peaces of crap and this flick surely is among good attempts towards better cinema. one time only

Nature of the film is diffrent than others its a good film good direction and cinematography John Abraham's performance is damn good.except the laging of first half the film gives a superb second half and a mindich blowing climax.in the secind half lots of twists and turns there overall good film worth to watch

Not sure about the other reviews but I think it was definitely a good script, good acting. Worth 8 stars.

I'm astonished at two things. 1) This well made, riveting espionage thriller. 2) How low can the paid media and biased reviewers can stoop down to negatively project the movie for no reason. There is nothing political or jingoistic about this movie but the right amount of patriotism, good story-telling, cinematography, direction and awesome twist! this movie is based on true events/inspired by the story of the RAW agent Ravindra Kaushik (aka Black Tiger) but not exactly his story. However, this is tribute to all those unsung heroes who sacrifice everything in order to protect the Motherland from inside the enemy territories. John Abraham did well, Jackie Shroff was pretty good, Sikander Kher was good and the others performed decent too. The movie could use better editing and handling of some loopholes but it's still a realistic and pretty good watch. Somehow I liked it even more than Raazi. So don't listen to the negative reviews and watch it yourself. Some people are giving it low ratings purposely because perhaps they still can't digest the truth about 1971 Bangladesh liberation war/Indo-Pak war.

First thing first, RAW - Romeo Akbar Walter is a slow burner and demands your patience for a good amount of the first hour. And once you blend in, it's a highly engaging and interesting spy drama.

Based in 1971, RAW - Romeo Akbar Walter is about a banker Rehmat Ali aka Romeo, who is chosen by the RAW chief (Jackie Shroff) to be an Indian spy in Pakistan.

Romeo takes the identity of Akbar Malik and migrates to Pakistan. The rest of the movie is about how Akbar helped India during the period that led to the 1971 war and his journey to becoming Walter.

The first half, in particular, is quite dawdling and takes its own time for the setup and build up. For the first hour, you might feel that nothing's really happening and many scenes may seem unnecesary, but by the end of the film, it all makes sense. The writing is good. The screenplay is uneven.

Sonu Nigam's Vande Mataram song is good.

John Abraham has performed well. Playing a spy.

RAW would have been a great film if not for its extremely slow pace in the first half and a run time which is almost two and a half hour,, but The last act makes a film.

You can have flaws, problems, but wow them in the end, and you've got a hit." Romeo Akbar Walter falls in that category..!
