Shahid is one of the finest biopics to have been produced in Bollywood. It focuses on the life of Shahid Azmi, a lawyer who defended those who were accused in terror cases. The titular role is played by Rajkumar Rao, who manages to create an enigmatic personality who can be charming while attracting clients in addition to possessing another side to his personality that comes out while defending his clients in the court. The restrained anger is omnipresent and has been displayed well by Rajkumar Rao.
The controversial lawyer was even imprisoned for several years due to being falsely accused of being an enemy of the state. Due to the unfair prosecution of innocent people, he decided to become a lawyer and defend those people who have no means of defending themselves.
In a lot of ways, the movie aims to showcase the inadequate judicial system in our country. A lot of times innocent people are imprisoned who are then released after several years despite not being guilty of any crime. This destroys the lives of those people and their families as they are unable to secure a job and are generally avoided by their friends due to being embroiled in a trial.
Shahid is a fine movie which captures the essence of a Muslim family living in a Hindu-dominated country. On a lot of occasions, a person is put behind bars because of his religion. The crisp editing keeps the movie under two hours due to which it is hard to take your eyes off the screen for the entire duration of the movie.
