Rautu Ka Raaz

Movie Review: Rautu ka Raaz streaming on Zee5 !!

An insipid yet interesting whodunit based in a sleepy town of Rautu Ki Beli in Uttarakhand, where no murder has been reported in the last 15 years. When the unnatural death of a warden at a School for Blind children disturbs the peace of sleepy Rautu, Inspector Deepak Negi ( Nawazuddin Siddiqui) takes it upon himself to solve the mystery.

Aaram aaram se chalta hai sab kuch !! No hurry at all ... Time slows down and so does the narrative. If u r in a mood for some fast paced stuff better skip this one. But if u have watched and enjoyed films like " Manorama - 6. Feet under" , you will find this film worth watching. Nawazuddin Siddiqui as the protagonist with his sidekick Inspector Dimri (Rajesh Kumar - Roshesh of Sarabhai vs Sarabhai fame) do their best to wander around , question the unwilling suspects, encounter political pressure and yet solve the mystery !!

The film has its flaws , some side stories are introduced & then left in the lurch making u wonder the purpose of having them in the first place. However the film has a twist in the end which has been revealed very well 👍👍

An offbeat kind of a film .. not for people who love the mar dhaad , dhishoom dhishoom kind of films!! I enjoyed it ... A decent one time watch.

Going with 3/5 for this one !! Adios 🙂

The movie was a bit slow and felt like an extended episode of a BBC series about Cop/Detective/Sleuth in a rural setting. Nawaz is pretty decent and the story has a somewhat surprising twist in the end but there isnt much happening through most of the movie to keep its audience fully engaged. Rajesh Kumar provides some decent comic relief and is pretty fun to watch. Overall nice story with decent performances. I would recommend to fans of Nawaaz or slow burn suspense dramas. The overall plot is pretty good and reveal is a nice surprise. Watch it for Nawaz. It is Nice but nothing special. 6/10.

Every frame of the screenplay has been utilised with utmost perfection including the subtle humour of the characters. Thanks to the #OTT platforms! The ending of the movie is really well thought of. I was thinking what if this movie was released at the theatre and the hard work and the talent, whole team had put would have gone in vain. I loved Uttarakhand background as all the scenes were so scenic and mesmerising. The movie is less than 2 hours which makes a huge difference as it shows the team had put lot of efforts in editing. Last but not the least kudos to the casting director for selecting such an amazing star cast for this movie! Cheers!

Neat and nice movie without any tamasha. Directly involved in solving the case. Superb screenplay storyline and photography. Thank to all. This is amazing investigation story with humour. All actors and actresses have played their roles very realistically and just like natural acting. It was great experience to watch and feel the real investigation rather than usual typical filmy. I love this movie you can watch this movie with entire family and friends. Locations suited to story and all charactors in this movie are likr real and especially those who have played the roles of blinds. Hats off to them.

Fresh Approach in Bollywood Thriller:

Raut Ka Raaz 2024; the addition in the saga of Bollywood Crime Thriller leaves behind some points to ponder about and that is what provides the Movie extra elevation. The point remains credible whether this Movie falls in the category of Bollywood Crime Thriller as per this theme has been experimented with diverse approaches during the last few years in Indian cinema. But Raut Ka Raaz 2024 is different one.

Storyline: The theme of the Movie shows the potentially in the art of Storytelling by the writer. The action revolves round a Murder taking place in a School for the Blind Children. But nevertheless, it's outline doesn't make anyone bored. Some other sequences relevant in Crime Investigation have been included in the Movie. But the important point is: nothing seems deviation from the central theme. The Scenes shoot in the exotic atmosphere of Uttarakhand beauty is in itself metaphorical. Similarly, presenting evil in this beautiful atmosphere is a brilliant irony and both the writer and those who work from the behind have made this more relevant narrating life in a Blind Boarding School. Through, a parallel story of teen-age Romance and it's connection with the heinous Crime like Murder do not seem deviations. The Story proves why the School for the Blind Children is the Centre of Action in this Movie. Brilliant indeed.

Characterization: The Movie proves the Potential of Nawazuddin Siddiqi as an actor and why he is attributed so much in today's Bollywood Movie. In this film , Nawaz looks more attractive and matured. But problem with Nawazuddin has been his voice that impacts his dialogue delivery. Nawazuddin is brilliant when performs with facial expression. But his voice quality restricts him to perform in certain roles. No doubt, Nawaz has made brilliant performances in the lead role of the Movie. But I feel, the role could have been more attractive with a befitting voice. This rather exposes why this reputed actor should be more selective. Nevertheless, it is also true that Nawaz alone alone takes forward the entire action in the Movie.

Other Characters are also good in the Movie.

But weakness of the Movie is its characterization. There are too many unnecessary Characters in the Movie. Another weakness is: as it is a Movie and not Series, the writer should have unveiled all aspects. But this has not been done. The end of the Movie is rather stereotypical and the song included at the end neither sounds good nor serves any purpose. The Movie Raut Ka Raaz 2024 proves yet again that the Playback singing doesn't have any place in today's Indian Movies made of brilliant ideas with an experimental approach.

Final View: The Movie Raut Ka Raaz 2024 is a significant addition to Bollywood Crime Thriller. Nawazuddin Siddiqui has made excellent performances during the entire Movie. Hope this one will get more positive responses from the audience and critics.
