Story Of Raazi
Alia Bhatt, who plays an Indian spy -Sehmat – in the movie, will have you glued to the screen.
Needless to say that Alia steals the entire show and very generously leaves just the right amount of room for Vicky Kaushal, who plays a Pakistani army officer named Iqbal and Rajit Kapur, who stars as Hidayat Khan – Sehmat’s father.
Set in 1971, it begins with Hidayat formulating a master-plan to send Sehmat to Pakistan as a spy for India – she is briefed about her mission and told, not asked, about her impending wedding. Sehmat being trained for her spy duties.
Sehmat appears as a new bride, residing with her in-laws and husband Iqbal in Pakistan.
Sehmat appears to be in a dilemma while simultaneously carrying out her duties as a wife and a spy.
Raazi is Sehmat’s story of sacrifice and love for the nation.
