      NA

      The narrative draws inspiration from actual events in the history of Telangana, depicting the hardships endured by its people under the Nizam's rule and the brutalities of the Razakars.

      However, the presentation of the story appears to be biased and slightly altered for political and religious motives.

      The screenplay features a handful of commendable scenes interspersed with numerous dull and lackluster segments.

      The film ambitiously attempts to merge the gritty essence of realism with the vibrant energy of commercial cinema, yet it finds itself caught in the crossfire, not fully committing to either. This indecision is further intensified by an overreliance on violence, which, rather than adding depth or excitement, muddies the narrative's intent.

      The production values do not meet the expected standards. Musically, background score is commendable.

      From an acting perspective, Bobby Simha and Prema deliver decent performances.

      The roles of Anasuya and Vedika in the film seem perplexing with their terrible acting.

      Antagonist and the remaining cast members tend to overact.

      The director, despite displaying an air of overconfidence in interviews, delivers a direction that is less than satisfactory.

      Overall, the film is not that good.

      Really a Silent Genocide!

      "Razakar: The Silent Genocide of Hyderabad" throws light on a lesser-known chapter of Indian history - the Hyderabad Liberation Movement. The film shows the struggles of Telangana's people against the Razakars, a paramilitary force, during India's independence.

      Director Yata Satyanarayana crafts a compelling experience. Filming is top-notch, taking viewers back to this old time. The acting is equally impressive, with Raj Arjun, portraying the ruthless Razakar leader Kasim Razvi, is particularly chilling.

      The film's emotional core lies in its portrayal of the human cost of war. We see families torn apart, lives shattered, and the spirit of those fighting for freedom. The plight of women during this period is particularly highlighted, adding another layer of depth to the story.

      Overall, it's a must watch movie in my opinion.

      Every Indian must watch

      If you are someone who haven't heard about this genocide that happened during the Nizam rule, you will be shell-shocked after watching the movie. The atrocities against lots of Hindus and the forceful religious conversions will send chills down your spine, as they are shown in a gut-wrenching manner without any inhibitions. There are many hard-hitting moments and one would surely walk out heavy hearted.

      Even if you have known about this exodus, you will still be invested in the film, as there is a lot of detailing that has gone into the writing. This is the best part of Razakar, as the writing team did a thorough research in documenting the trauma undergone by many innocent souls. Operation Polo carried out by the Indian Army to annex Hyderabad from the Nizam rule is sure to give you goosebumps.

      Often, we would have heard stories describing the greatness of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in uniting the country. This film will give you more clarity regarding the kind of role Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had played in making Hyderabad a part and parcel of India. The film is clear in what it conveys. It doesn't target any religion and it only highlights the atrocities committed by the Nizam and Razakars against common people.

      Raj Arjun is the show stealer of Razakar and he performs Qasim Razvi's role to the tee. We feel like hitting him right in the face and that's the level of performance he has delivered. Markhand Deshpande as the Nizam Of Hyderabad is brilliant and so is Tej Sapru as the Iron Man Of India. Bobby Simha, Anasuya, Vedhika, Indraja, and others gave compelling performances. The second half is more gripping with many key moments.

      On the whole, Razakar is an honest depiction of the heinous genocide that took place in Hyderabad province during the time of Nizam. The film is sure to leave you shocked with its horrifying facts and neatly documents the ordeal of common people. The film will blow away the minds of those who don't know about Razakars. Performances are very good and the film is rich technically. The first half is slightly slow, with some repetitive scenes, but the second half grabs our attention every minute. Those interested in knowing about history can watch this film this weekend.
