Battle of the blockbusters: 'Kaabil' versus 'Raees'

Both 'Kaabil' and 'Raees' are releasing on Wednesday. This time, the level of engagingness in both the films is high. Both are love stories. Intense love stories. In "Kaabil", Hrithik Roshan loves his wife to death, whose death you will know soon enough, and HE is ready to go to any lengths to avenge the wrong done to her. The last 20 minutes of "Kaabil" are so heart-in-the-mouth, you would be advised to hold your bursting bladders until the last drop of blood is shed and avenged on screen. Smilarly "Raees" is also a love story. And it's got nothing to do with Mahira Khan. Shah Rukh Khan's character of a man of ill-gotten power and wealth from Gujarat in the 1980s, is in love. With himself. Since I believe Shah Rukh in real life truly loves himself, the merger of the actor and the character is so brutally complete, it's like watching mirror images of two identical souls -- one off camera, the other on it -- dressed in very different clothes.
