A film like Raazi brings a good change to the cinema, emphasising that a good content driven film does not need a superhero, instead needs a good story and direction among many other factors.

Talking about the film, Raazi is the story of an Indian spy (Alia Bhatt) married to a Pakistani army officer (Vicky Kaushal) and the film portrays patriotism of the central characters from the two countries on the verge of war (it is set just before the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971) with equal dedication.

Raazi is based on Harinder Sikka's book Calling Sehmat, which in turn is inspired by true events. The film also stars Rajit Kapoor, Shishir Sharma and Soni Razdan.
