Being attached to a board game isn't something new but using it as a tool for revenge is not heard of is it? I have always loved suspense thrillers and have never failed to enjoy them but 'Wazir' is one movie that has amazed me beyond description.
Daanish(Farhan Akhtar) is a brave cop who loses his four year old daughter during a car chase. His wife(Aditi Rao Hydari) blames him for the death of the girl and wishes to be left alone. After losing everything he ever loved he attempts to commit suicide but is stopped by Pandit Omkarnath(Amitabh bachan) his late daughters chess teacher. Pandit Omkarnath not only teaches the game but has devoted his entire life to it. He is an amputee who himself lost his daughter when she supposedly fell down the stairs while she was teaching the welfare minister's daughter chess. Omkarnath doesn't believe it was an accident but a murder committed by the minister himself for reasons unknown.The plot has been very carefully laid out where Pandit Omkarnath with the help of 'Wazir' and the various tactics of chess lures Daanish into taking revenge for him in the process consciously sacrificing himself. Various secrets revealed and many shocks received the audience is sure to leave the theatre pleased.
Hats off to the director- Bejoy Nambiar and Writers-Vidu Vinod Chopra and Abhijat Joshi for a truly nail biting and brilliantly terrifying show. Watch it and I assure you, you will be sitting on the edge of your seat throughout the movie. Special mention to the star cast for bringing it up to the mark.
