A brave ATS officer (Farhan Akhtar) and a disabled grandmaster (Amitabh Bachchan) face a mysterious and dangerous opponent (Manav Kaul).

It's Farhan of the first half, who makes you take note of him as a dramatic performer. By the time we get to the end, even he seems jaded and lacklustre. Like the film itself.

If there's something faintly absurd about the equation of characters to pieces, Chopra and Nambiar - wily teacher and keen student - move them around the board with dexterity and efficiency. It's a fun game to watch.

Rated: 3/5

It is disheartening to begin 2016 like this. Fortunately, the only way from here is up.

Apart from the smart storyline, powerful performances are the backbone of Wazir.

It's all well done. The production, the sound, the action is all top notch. But the writing is King of the game in a film. The technique is merely a pawn. You can sacrifice the pawns but not the King.

Gripping and precise even though the main story becomes predictable less than a half-way through. One is expected a twist from the beginning but the course the movie takes makes only one option available which leads to a predictable fare later.

Awesome Acting, Direction and story in the movie, I really expected a such a master piece after seeing the trailer, Kudos To Bejoy Nambiar and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, we actually need this types of movies in India, watching the whole movie I felt it was like watching an Christopher Nolan biopic. The Things that I liked About the movie was obviously acting by Amitabh Bachan and Farhan Akhtar and Cameo by John Abraham, Aditi Rao Hydra's role was sweet and shot. Talking about the technicality awesome screenplay and story, I was really happy by the twist in the end. The things that I did't like about the movie are that John Abraham And Aditi Rao Hydari Should Have been given some big roles as well as Neil Nitin Mukhesh, well after that there's nothing wrong about the movie. I don't understand why the movie isn't doing good Business even though It had so many good elements. BOTTOM LINE: PLEASE GO AND WATCH THE MOVIE.

A talented star cast , an average script coupled with poor screenplay makes this supposed to be efficient thriller a dud

Maybe more like a 2.75. This movie had decent acting and so forth, but i lacked a driving force, which made a lot of the movie flat. I also guessed the plot twist but I think that might have been more from studying writing intensely more than the movie's fault, but I'm not sure at the same time. Not a bad movie, but it could have been better.

A slick flick - great plot, great action sequences and great performances by Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar. Crime, mind games and grief centre this movie that keeps you locked till the end.
