Though the industry people gave thumbs up to Alia Bhatt, film critic Raja Sen in his review for NDTV said: "(Alia) Bhatt is an incendiary talent, but Raazi exposes how she overplays her hand. She is never bad here, but frequently does far more than needed... There is the constant sense of self-consciousness to her performance, making Sehmat seem like a girl playacting as a spy instead of an actual spy." Raja Sen gave the film 3 stars out of 5.

Raazi is the story of an Indian Spy named Sehmat, who married a Pakistani army officer Iqbal to pass on intel to the Indian army during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1972. The film is an adaptation of Harinder Sikka's novel Calling Sehmat, which in turn is based on a real life events.
