Bejoy Nambiar‘s much awaited film Wazir hit the big screens worldwide on 8 January 2016. the film features Farhan Akhtar and Amitabh Bachchan in the lead roles, while Aditi Rao Hydari plays female lead in this film and Neil Nitin Mukesh enacted another crucial role. the film is co-written and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
The film upon its release succeeded in satisfying audiences and critics alike. Many people praised the acting of the lead actors, while some others become heavily impressed with the uncompromising story of Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
The film tells the story of two unusual friends, a wheelchair-bound chess grandmaster and a grief-stricken ATS officer, who are brought together by a peculiar twist of fate as part of a wider conspiracy that has cast a dark shadow over their lives. The game of chess is a recurring metaphor and forms the backbone of the story.
Beautifully narrated and presented till the halfway mark, Wazir directed by the talented Bejoy Nambiar looses the grip in the second half to end just as a watchable film. The build up was highly promising and could have gone to be a taut thriller but that commercial angle in the latter stages takes away that shine from the film.
Wazir 7th Day Box Office Collection is ₹2.23 crore. Overall collection of this movie is ₹29.95+ crore.
