కథేంటంటే: 1971లో జరిగే కథ ఇది. ఘాజీ అటాక్‌ అనంతరం, పాకిస్థాన్‌ చైనాతో చేయి కలుపుతుంది. భారత్‌పై దాడి చేసేందుకు సిద్ధపడుతుంది. ఈ క్రమంలో ఇద్దరు కశ్మీర్‌ యువకులు భారత్‌కు చెందిన గంగా అనే విమానాన్ని హైజాక్‌ చేస్తారు. ఆ విమానాన్ని పాకిస్థాన్‌లోని లాహోర్‌కి తీసుకెళ్తారు. వారి డిమాండ్‌ ఏంటి? హైజాక్‌ అయిన వారెవరు? వారిని రక్షించేందుకు ఇండియన్‌ ఇంటెలిజెన్స్‌ బ్యూరో ఏజెంట్‌ దేవ్‌ జమ్వాల్‌ (విద్యుత్‌ జమ్వాల్‌) చేసిన సాహసమేంటి?అన్నది మిగతా కథ (IB 71 Review).

ఎలా ఉందంటే: తొలి నుంచీ విభిన్న పంథాలోనే నడుస్తున్నారు దర్శకుడు సంకల్ప్‌. ‘ఘాజీ’తో ఇండియన్‌ నేవీ గురించి ప్రేక్షకులకు తెలియజేసిన ఆయన ‘అంతరిక్షం 9000 కేఎంపీహెచ్‌’తో వ్యోమగాములకు ఎదురయ్యే సవాళ్లను చూపించారు. ‘ఐబీ 71’తో ఇంటెలిజెన్స్‌ బ్యూరో (ఐబీ) వ్యవస్థని పరిచయం చేశారు. ఐబీకి సంబంధించిన సమాచారం సామాన్య ప్రజానీకానికి అంతగా చేరువకాదు కాబట్టి ఈ నేపథ్యంలో తెరకెక్కే సినిమాలు అరుదు. ఎంతో రీసెర్చ్‌ చేసి సంకల్ప్‌ ఈ చిత్రాన్ని తెరకెక్కించినట్టు ప్రతి ఫ్రేమ్‌ స్పష్టం చేస్తుంది. ఈ ప్రయత్నానికి దర్శకుడిని అభినందించాల్సిందే. 50 ఏళ్ల క్రితం చరిత్రను నేటి తరానికి చాటి చెప్పడంలో విజయం సాధించారాయన. 1971లో సంచలనం సృష్టించిన ఇండియన్స్‌ ఎయిర్‌లైన్స్‌ హైజాక్‌ ఆధారంగా ఆదిత్య శాస్త్రి ఈ సినిమా కథని రాశారు. అత్యధిక శాతం సినిమాటిక్‌ లిబర్టీ తీసుకున్నారు. పాకిస్థాన్‌ ప్లాన్‌ని ఇంటెలిజెన్స్‌ బ్యూరో 10 రోజుల్లో ఎలా తిప్పికొట్టిందనేదే ఈ సినిమా సారాంశం. కథంతా మైండ్‌ గేమ్‌తోనే సాగుతుంది. యుద్ధ నేపథ్యంలో పాకిస్థాన్, చైనా దేశాల నుంచి పొంచి ఉన్న దాడులను తిప్పికొట్టేందుకు గగనతలాన్ని మూసేయాలని దేవ్‌ జమ్వాల్‌ సలహా ఇవ్వడం, ఉన్నతాధికారులు అది సాధ్యంకాదని చెప్పడం, చివరకు దేవ్‌ వారిని ఒప్పించడం తదితర సన్నివేశాలతో ప్రథమార్ధాన్ని నడిపించారు (IB 71 Review).

పాక్‌, కశ్మీర్‌, దిల్లీ... ఇలా ఒకే సమయంలో పలు ప్రాంతాల్లో జరిగే పరిణామాలను చూపిండంతో స్పష్టత లోపించింది. ఫోకస్‌ పెడితేనే తప్ప ఎక్కడేం జరుగుతుందో అర్థం కాదు. సంబంధిత టెర్మినాలజీ అన్ని వర్గాల ప్రేక్షకులకు అర్థంకాకపోవచ్చు. విజువల్స్‌ మాత్రం ఆకట్టుకుంటాయి. విమానం హైజాక్‌ సన్నివేశంతో ద్వితీయార్ధం ఆసక్తి రేకెత్తిస్తుంది. దేవ్‌ సీక్రెట్ మిషన్ ఉత్సుకత కలిగిస్తుంది. ప్రత్యేక కోడ్‌ ద్వారా తన ఉన్నతాధికారులకు హీరో ఇచ్చే సందేశం, పక్కా ప్రణాళికలతో హైజాక్‌ బాధితులతో ఆఫీసర్స్‌ ఫోన్‌లో మాట్లాడే సీక్వెన్స్‌ సినిమాకే హైలైట్‌. నేపథ్య సంగీతం ఆయా ఎపిసోడ్స్‌ని మరో స్థాయికి తీసుకెళ్లింది. ఇంటెలిజెన్స్‌ బ్యూరో విజయానికి ప్రతీకగా భారతీయ జెండాను చూపించడం, దేశ భక్తిని చాటే గీతాన్ని వినిపించడంతో క్లైమాక్స్‌ ప్రేక్షకులను భావోద్వేగానికి గురిచేస్తుంది. ఈ సినిమా హిందీలోనే అందుబాటులోనే ఉంది (IB 71 Review). ప్రాంతీయ భాషల్లో ఈ సినిమాని తీసుకురాకపోవడానికి పలు కారణాలున్నాయని సంకల్ప్‌ ఓ ఇంటర్వ్యూలో తెలిపారు. ఓటీటీలో స్ట్రీమింగ్‌కు తీసుకొచ్చినప్పుడైనా తెలుగు ఆడియో ఇచ్చి ఉంటే బాగుండేది.

• ఇదీ చదవండి: 7:11 పీఎం రివ్యూ

ఎవరెలా చేశారంటే:  విద్యుత్‌ జమ్వాల్‌ ‘వన్‌మ్యాన్‌ షో’గా వ్యవహరించారు. వ్యక్తిగతంగా ఎంతో ఫిట్‌గా ఉండే ఆయన ఐబీ ఏజెంట్‌ దేవ్‌ పాత్రలో ఒదిగిపోయారు. ఈయన తెలుగు ప్రేక్షకులకు సుపరిచితమే.‘శక్తి’, ‘ఊసరవెల్లి’వంటి స్ట్రయిట్‌ తెలుగు మూవీస్‌, ‘తుపాకి’, ‘సికిందర్‌’తదితర అనువాదాలతో అలరించారు. ఐబీ చీఫ్‌ ఎన్‌.ఎస్‌.అవస్థిగా అనుపమ్‌ ఖేర్‌ తన అనుభవాన్ని ప్రదర్శించారు. మిలిగిన వారంతా తమ తమ పాత్రలకు న్యాయం చేశారు. సాంకేతికంగా సినిమా ఉన్నతంగా ఉంది. టేకింగ్‌ పరంగా సంకల్ప్‌ మరోసారి సత్తా చాటారు (IB 71 Review).

IB 71 Review: 'ఘాజీ' 'అంతరిక్షం' డైరెక్టర్ హిందీ మూవీ 'ఐబీ 71' రివ్యూ.. ఎలా తీశాడంటే?

రేటింగ్: 2.75/5

టైటిల్: ఐబీ 71 (హిందీ) నటీనటులు: విద్యుత్ జమ్వాల్, అనుపమ్ ఖేర్, విశాల్ జెత్వా, ఫైజాన్ ఖాన్, సువ్రత్ జోషి, దలిప్ తాహిల్ తదితరులు సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ: జ్ఞానశేఖర్ ఎడిటర్: సందీప్ ప్రాన్సిస్ సంగీతం: ప్రశాంత్ ఆర్ విహారి (బీజీఎమ్), విక్రమ్ మాంట్రోజ్ (పాటలు) నిర్మాతలు: విద్యుత్ జమ్వాల్, భూషన్ కుమార్ (టీ సిరీస్), అబ్బాస్ సయ్యద్, క్రిష్ణన్ కుమార్ కథ: ఆదిత్య శాస్త్రి దర్శకత్వం: సంకల్ప్ రెడ్డి థియేటర్ రిలీజ్: మే 12, 2023 ఓటీటీ విడుదల: జూలై 7, 2023 ఓటీటీ వేదిక: డిస్నీ ప్లస్ హాట్‌స్టార్

తెలుగులో మంచి దర్శకుడిగా పేరు తెచ్చుకున్నాడు సంకల్ప్ రెడ్డి. ఘాజీ (Ghazi Attack), అంతరిక్షం (Antariksham 9000 KMPH) వంటి సైంటిఫిక్ సినిమాలతో ఆకర్షించాడు. తాజాగా సంకల్ప్ రెడ్డి తెరకెక్కించిన హిందీ చిత్రమే 'ఐబీ 71' (IB 71 Movie). యాక్షన్ స్టంట్స్ తో అదరగొట్టే బాలీవుడ్ యాక్టర్ విద్యుత్ జమ్వాల్, సీనియర్ నటుడు అనుపమ్ ఖేర్ ప్రధాన పాత్రలు పోషించిన ఈ సినిమా మొదటగా థియేటర్లలో మే 12న హిందీ భాషలో విడుదలైంది. ఇప్పుడు ఓటీటీ ప్రేక్షకుల కోసం హిందీతోపాటు తెలుగు, తమిళ భాషల్లో జూలై 7 నుంచి డిస్నీ ప్లస్ హాట్ స్టార్ లో స్ట్రీమింగ్ చేస్తున్నారు. మరి ఈ సినిమా ఎలా ఉందో రివ్యూలో (IB 71 Review Telugu) చూద్దాం.

కథ: 1948, 1965 సంవత్సరంలో యుద్దంలో భారత్ చేతిలో పాకిస్తాన్ రెండు సార్లు ఓడిపోయింది. కాబట్టి 1971లో ఇండియాపై ఎలాగైనా గెలవాలని పాకిస్తాన్ ఓ అటాక్ ప్లాన్ చేస్తుంది. అందుకు చైనా చేతులు కలుపుతుంది. దానికి 10 రోజుల సమయం ఉంటుంది. ఈ క్రమంలోనే ఇద్దరు కశ్మీర్ యువకులు ఖాసీమ్ ఖురేషి (విశాల్ జెత్వా), అష్రఫ్ (ఫైజాన్ ఖాన్) ఇండియాకు చెందిన గంగా అనే విమానాన్ని హైజాక్ చేస్తారు. విమానాన్ని అందులోని 30 మంది ప్రయాణికులను పాకిస్తాన్ లాహోర్ కు తీసుకెళ్తారు.

హైలెట్స్: లాహోర్ కు తీసుకెళ్లిన యువకుల డిమాండ్ ఏంటీ? హైజాక్ అయిన వారు ఎవరు? వారిని రక్షించేందుకు భారత ఇంటెలిజెన్స్ బ్యూరో ఏజెంట్ దేవ్ జమ్వాల్ (విద్యుత్ జమ్వాల్) ఏం చేశాడు? పాక్ దాడిని ముందే పసిగట్టిన ఏజెంట్ దేవ్ ఈ హైజాక్ ను ఎలా వాడుకున్నాడు? తర్వాత చోటుచేసుకున్న పరిస్థితులు ఏంటీ? అనే ఆసక్తికర విషయాలు తెలియాలంటే ఈ ఐబీ71 (IB71 Movie Review) చూడాల్సిందే.

విశ్లేషణ: ఈ సినిమా అంతా 1971లో జరుగుతుంది. అప్పుడు సంచలనం సృష్టించిన ఇండియన్ ఎయిర్ లైన్స్ హైజాక్ ఆధారంగా ఐబీ71 చిత్రాన్ని తెరకెక్కించారు. ఘాజీతో ఇండియన్ నేవీ, అంతరిక్షం సినిమాతో వ్యోమగాములకు ఎదురయ్యే సవాళ్లను చూపించిన సంకల్ప్ రెడ్డి ఐబీ71తో ఇండియన్ ఇంటెలిజెన్స్ బ్యూరో (IB) వ్యవస్థను చూపించారు. ఇక పాకిస్తాన్ ప్లాన్ చేసిన దాడిని 10 రోజుల్లో భారత్ ఎలా తిప్పికొట్టిందనేదే సినిమా కథ.

నెమ్మదనం: ఇండియాపై పాక్ దాడి చేసేందుకు చైనా చేతులు కలపడం, ఏజెంట్ దేవ్ సామర్థ్యాన్ని ఎలివేట్ చేసే సన్నివేశాలతో ఇంట్రెస్టింగ్ గా సినిమాను స్టార్ట్ చేశారు. తర్వాత పాకిస్తాన్ అటాక్ ప్లాన్ తెలియడం, దాన్ని అడ్డుకునేందుకు ఏజెంట్ దేవ్ ఓ ఐడియా చెప్పడం, ఐపీ చీఫ్ అధికారి అవస్థి (అనుపమ్ ఖేర్) ముందుగా వద్దని, తర్వాత ఒప్పుకోవడం వంటి సీన్లతో ప్రథమార్థం నడిపించారు. సన్నివేశాలు బాగున్నా కాస్తా నెమ్మదనంగా అనిపిస్తుంది.

హైలెట్స్: ఇక సెకండాఫ్ లో హైజాక్ తర్వాత సినిమాలో వేగం పెరుగుతుంది. లాహోర్ కు భారతీయులు వెళ్లడం, అక్కడ పాక్ అధికారుల కళ్లు కప్పి మళ్లీ ఇండియాకు చేరుకోవడం వంటి సీన్లు ఉత్కంఠత కలిగిస్తాయి. లాహోర్ లో ఇండియన్ ప్యాసెంజర్స్ ఫోన్ లో మాట్లాడే సీక్వెన్స్, ఏజెంట్ దేవ్ స్పెషల్ కోడ్ ద్వారా ఉన్నతాధికారులకు మెసేజ్ ఇచ్చే సీన్ హైలెట్ గా ఉంటుంది.

లిబర్టీ ఎక్కువ: భారత్, పాక్ ప్లాన్స్, తిప్పికొట్టడం వంటి సీన్లతో బాగా నేరెట్ చేశారు. క్లైమాక్స్ ను ముందే గెస్ చేయగలిగినా ఎంగేజింగ్ గా ప్రజంట్ చేశారు. చివర్లో వచ్చే దేశభక్తి సాంగ్ ఆకట్టుకుంటుంది. సినిమాటిక్ లిబర్టీ ఎక్కువైంది. బీజీఎమ్, సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ, నిర్మాణ విలువలు అన్నీ బాగున్నాయి.

ఎవరెలా చేశారంటే?: మరో కొత్త ప్రయోగంతో డైరెక్టర్ సంకల్ప్ రెడ్డి విజయం సాధించాడనే చెప్పొచ్చు. ఏజెంట్ దేవ్ పాత్రలో విద్యుత్ జమ్వాల్ వన్ మ్యాన్ షోగా అదరగొట్టేశాడు. యాక్షన్ సినిమాలు ఆయనకు కొట్టినపిండి. కమాండో సిరీసుతో చాలా పాపులర్ అయ్యాడు. శక్తి, ఊసరవెల్లి, తుపాకి, సికిందర్ సినిమాలతో తెలుగు వారికి పరిచయమే. ఇక అనుపమ్ ఖేర్ తన పాత్ర పరిధి మేర చేశారు. మిగతా పాత్రలంతా బాగా చేశారు. ఫైనల్ గా చెప్పాలంటే 2 గంటల నిడివి ఉన్న 'ఐబీ71' యాక్షన్ లేకుండా మైండ్ గేమ్ తో ఆకట్టుకునేలా ఉంది (IB71 Movie Telugu Review).

IB 71 starring Anupam Kher and Vidyut Jammwal is based on an untold story of Indian Airlines hijacking in the year 1971 before the Bangladesh Liberation War in December 71. Ganga was an old aircraft in the Indian Airlines fleet, already withdrawn from service but was re-inducted just days before the hijacking. The film highlights the role of IB (Intelligence Bureau) in the months leading to 1971 War and how behind the scenes work of IB agents contributed to India's win in the liberation of Bangladesh. A must watch to understand the contribution of our men and women from the Intelligence community.

IB71 Review: Vidyut Jammwal's Middling Spy Drama Is Not Without Its Moments

Ib71 review: vidyut jammwal's hunky presence is determined to shore up the film when it tends to flounder despite its unwavering adherence to the plot and its eschewal of cheap thrills.

Cast : Anupam Kher, Vidyut Jammwal, Dev, Dalip Tahil

Director : Sankalp Reddy

Rating : Two and a half (out of 5)

A war film that is more an espionage thriller than a battlefield drama, IB71 , directed and co-written by Sankalp Reddy (who made The Ghazi Attack six years ago), presents an account of “true events” masterminded by an Indian intelligence agent to scuttle a planned Pakistani operation against India on the eastern front during the 1971 Bangladesh liberation war.

Fronted by Vidyut Jammwal, who is also one of the producers of the film, IB71 is sparing in its dependence on action sequences, preferring a relatively sedate approach to the exploits of an intrepid IB operative, Dev, who hatches a daring hijack plot in order to land in Pakistan with a band of Indian secret agents.

The Ghazi Attack was an underwater action film that revolved around a submarine that mysteriously sank in the Bay of Bengal during the 1971 Indo-Pak war. Parts of IB71 play out on a decommissioned airplane that is ready for a specific spy mission days ahead of the same military conflict.

Secret agent Dev's plan is to give India a pretext to block its airspace and thwart enemy plans to ferry men and ammunition to East Pakistan with Chinese assistance. The man is single-minded in his focus on the job at hand. He has no time for romance or other distractions.

IB71 is a two-hour film has no lip-synched songs. But it takes its own sweet time to get off the ground. The first hour is a veritable jigsaw puzzle – confounding and unconvincing. A great deal happens on the screen in this part of the film – Jammwal's steely spy sneaks into a Pakistani airfield with an assumed identity, gathers crucial intelligence and discovers that India is in danger of being attacked in ten days.

In a race against time, Dev heads to Kashmir with a fellow-spy, enlists two young Kashmiri liberation warriors, including a 17-year-old boy Qasim

(Vishal Jethwa). It is, however, hard to figure what on earth he is exactly up to. We do at best have a fuzzy notion of the exact nature of the spy operation. The stunning images of the slow-clad Valley help the audience keep itself occupied until some degree of clarity begins to dawn.

It is only in the second half, when Dev and his team are airborne with the two young Kashmiri radicals on their rickety passenger machine, that IB71 begins to gather something that feels like momentum. Less talk and more action are always the best policy when a film flies into a haze.

That is not to say that IB71 has no redeeming features at all. It definitely does. By far the best thing about the film is its surprisingly uncluttered storytelling in the second half. Like the aircraft, the film is low on fuel but it manages to stay afloat till such time that it can contemplate a safe landing

The screenplay stays firmly fixed on the drama that unfolds in constricted spaces – on the plane, inside the cockpit and finally in a hotel and its compound. The action that takes place outdoors has an appreciably different timbre given the stunning beauty of the landscape.

Part of the fault for the marked difference between the two halves of the film lies partly with the script, and partly with the editing. But the final moments of IB71 , no matter how facile they may seem, serve to somewhat offset the incoherence that mars the first half.

The breathtakingly lovely Kashmir Valley vistas are captured in all their wintry, snow-covered glory by director of photography Gnana Sekhar V.S. The lush visuals create an ambience that provides a contrast to a thin and unflashy storyline.

Jammwal's hunky presence is mined to shore up the film when it tends to flounder despite its unwavering adherence to the plot and its eschewal (for the most part) of cheap thrills and other convenient concessions. While the lead actor steers clear of the excesses that his action hero persona often triggers, he cashes in on every opportunity to peddle his on-screen invincibility.

A boat chase on the Dal Lake and a group fight involving him and his IB mates pitted against Pakistani security men – there isn't too much else in the film by way of explicit action – Jammwal does what he is there for – take the lead when danger looms, fight his way out, and emerge largely unscathed.

Anupam Kher, cast as the Intelligence Bureau chief from whom the hero takes orders, has a few scenes that allow him to make his presence felt. But once these are out of the way, he is reduced to pacing up and down in his office, reacting to news streaming in from many, many miles away of Dev's daredevilry.

The strangest treatment is reserved for Dalip Tahil. He plays Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto but is given no lines to speak. If the idea is to convey the insignificance of the Pakistan head of state in the larger scheme of things that has been set in motion by a gutsy Indian secret agent, it definitely isn't a good one. It not only amounts to sidelining a veteran actor, but also to frittering away the opportunity to whip up some drama.

The Pakistani officials in IB71 are, as one would expect, etched out with very broad strokes although it must be said that the film does not take recourse to overt jingoism. Hobby Dhaliwal. playing a highly stressed-out high-up in the Pakistani military establishment, and Ashwath Bhatt in the role of the ISI chief occasionally rise above the limitations of a screenplay that yields a serviceable spy thriller that is surprisingly shorn of massy elements.

IB71 leaves one with the nagging feeling that it could have been a much better film has the writing been a less of the by-the-numbers kind. But even as a middling spy drama, it is not without its moments.

IB 71 review: Vidyut Jammwal and Vishal Jethwa are thoroughly entertaining in this film

This is a no-brainer if you are a Jammwalian

• Shaheen Irani

Last Updated: 09.02 AM, May 12, 2023

Pakistan is planning an attack on India. China gets involved too. Thus, IB officers have to find a way in which they can stop these attacks.

IB 71 commences with the typical mystery sequence. It is set in heavy rain, with government officials across the airport. As cliched as the first scene is, the movie is about what happens ahead.

Video clips from the past really help take the story forward. That being broadcast at the start of the film amps up the vibe of IB 71.

Vidyut Jammwal gives a voiceover before actually making an entry in the movie as Dev. This, of course, helps his character greatly. The music added to his introduction does little to enhance his entry, though.

Vidyut's introduction scene builds the story. He leaves an impression, mainly because of how the story goes and how he executes those scenes. Here, the music, paired with his dialogues, really works.

The actor gets into action mode almost instantly, but it is not like his previous movies. Here, the suspense factor works better. That said, Vidyut still has no competition when it comes to action, even if there are just a few in this movie.

He gets the style of 1971 correct, but that seems not to be too relevant in a few scenes. The camera angles, even if shaky, do their job of enhancing his action. It makes you feel like a part of the scene.

His confidence in his role and the film is plastered all over his face. That makes the second half of the film, at least the initial bits, way more interesting.

Anupam Kher as Awasthi is introduced and has an impact with one of his first dialogues. He has a smaller role but steals the spotlight in every frame.

Vishal Jethwa as Qasim Qureshi has a good introduction but is not at his best from the first frame on. He turns dangerous, and you fear him to an extent. This actor nails every emotion in the film, to the extent that you cannot take your eyes off him many times. Despite being the antagonist, he is a thorough entertainer in the role of a lost boy confident of his mission.

Ashwath Bhatt plays a powerful character, and he does justice to his role through the script given to him. It isn't the best characterization in the movie, but it works to a huge extent.

Dalip Tahir as Bhutto barely gets into the look. Even if he is a good actor, his talent is underutilized in this film.

The beauty of Kashmir is recreated in this movie. Cinema also plays a huge role here. The Dal Lake captured works with many camera angles, front as well as helicopter.

The movie impresses you as it progresses. It gets thoroughly entertaining but tends to lose grip over some scenes towards the end. The mystery elements work best with this one.

Vidyut vs. Vishal is a good moment. They are full of talent, which makes for a great scene.

The songs in the film aren't great but don't particularly disturb the viewing experience. One can overlook it, especially since it comes towards the end of the film.

The last scene is another cliched shot. Despite that, you will find yourself constantly biting your nails and wondering what will happen next.

If you are a Jammwalian, this film is a no-brainer. Vidyut puts his best foot forward for the movie, and it shows in all of his scenes.

Even otherwise, IB 71 is thoroughly entertaining, even if that wasn't the original theme of the film. Much credit for that goes to Vishal Jethwa, who nails every emotion his character demands.

Thus, IB 71 is a good deal if you want an entertaining weekend watch. It is not the best film out there but for the most bits, it will leave you with a smile.

IB 71 movie review: Vidyut Jammwal steps out of his comfort zone only to leave us confused

Ib 71 movie review: vidyut jammwal breaks out of his action hero shell to play a spy in this sankalp reddy film..

An espionage thriller, IB 71 chronicles India’s top-secret mission that is said to have aided India’s victory in the 1971 India-Pakistan war. Starring Vidyut Jammwal and Anupam Kher in pivotal roles, the film starts off on a high note, but soon goes off track. With visuals, voice over, text captions and flashbacks, there’s a lot happening for one to understand the exact timeline of the film. Until the interval, I genuinely couldn’t figure what the film was trying to show or say. Directed by Sankalp Reddy, IB 71 in the first half, seemed nothing but an attempt to take us on a ride, play some riddles and leave us all confused without any answers. But thankfully, the second half picks up, pieces of puzzles start to come together and it all made some sense. Was it too little, too late? Somewhat, yes.

IB 71 starts with Pakistan preparing for yet another war after being defeated in 1948 and 1965, and this time from the Eastern front in alliance with China. Upon receiving vital information about this impending attack, Intelligence Bureau Chief Avasti (Kher), along with his top agent Dev (Jammwal), comes up with a plan to save the nation without firing a single bullet or letting the neighbouring country get the slightest hint about it. As mobilizing the army at a short notice appears to be a tough task, they suggest blocking of the air space to prevent Pakistan and China from attacking India. Dev is assigned this task and how he accomplishes this confidential mission in the next 10 days, along with 30 other undercover agents is what the film shows in the second half.

Crisp editing makes for an easier watch

With a runtime of a little less than two hours, the film is tightly edited and that length, perhaps, is the only good part about it. The story doesn’t seem drag, stays to the point and ends before it turns into a snooze fest. Reddy, who has earlier helmed Ghazi Attack, has the intent right behind telling this untold story based on true events, but somewhere he loses focus and goes all over the place.

Aditya Shastri’s story is intriguing and holds a lot of potential to keep you hooked. What doesn’t really work is the screenplay for which six people are credited -- Sankalp Reddy, Arjun Varma, E. Vasudeva Reddy, Arun Bhimavarapu, Gargee Singh and Abhimanyu Srivastava. For the longest time, they looked like disjoined and scattered pieces of a puzzle. Even when the story is picking pace, there is very little or no connect with how it unfolds for audiences to understand. The background music gets a bit too loud at places, though cinematography in certain scenes elevates the whole experience, especially the ones involving the plane.

What left me utterly surprised, and somewhat impressed, is that despite being based on such a sensitive and serious subject, there is quite a lot of subtle humour peppered across the film. I mean, it’s not common to see people laughing out loud while watching spy thrillers, but some one-liners and punches make it hard to control that laughter. Full credit goes to dialogues by Junaid Wasi and Sahar Quaze.

Vidyut Jammwal leaves you confused

Jammwal delivers a decent performance and he looks quite unlike his earlier big screen outings. You are used to seeing an actor do high-octane and gravity-defying action on screen, and suddenly he underplays all that and turns into a one-dimensional character that has nothing larger-than-life about himself, it can leave many confused. As an IB agent, his body language and mannerisms are on-point and he aces the few hand combat scenes that are there in the film. Kher delivers a restrained performance where he steps back and let the story be in forefront. As the chief of intelligence bureau, he commands authority and a strong screen presence, and that very well comes out in the scenes we see him in. Yes, it’s for very limited time Kher appears in the film, but then the story is more about the mission and less about the people behind it. Vishal Jethwa as Qasim Qureshi, a brainwashed youth, is in his element. He may not be as impressive as he was in his debut outing Mardaani 2, or as convincing as his last, Salaam Venky, yet he manages to make his presence felt, and trigger a few laughs with the way his character has been written.

Watch IB 71 in theatres to witness yet another untold story of heroes who seldom get spoken or written about in history books. It may not give you an adrenaline rush but will give some goosebumps towards the climax that is high on patriotic flavour.

IB 71 Movie Review: Vidyut Jammwal's film lands despite rough weather, Vishal Jethwa steals the show

Vidyut jammwal's ib 71, which is based on true events, is an account of what happened during the indo-pak war of 1971. with a sluggish first half, followed by a thrilling second half, the film is a decent thriller, says our review..

Listen to Story

• Vidyut Jammwal turns spy for IB 71.
• He has also produced the film.
• It releases in theatres on May 12.

Cast & Crew

Vidyut Jamwal

Release Date: 12 May, 2023

Vidyut Jammwal is out there to prove his mettle. While he does not want to completely do away with his action hero image, he wants to also show his acting prowess. All his recent releases - be it Khuda Hafeez or Sanak or the latest IB 71, he does have action sequences but those are not the scene-stealers. This time, Vidyut not just acted but also bankrolled the project . But, is this spy-thriller just as taut as it promised to be, or does it falter? Let’s find out.

Dev (Vidyut Jammwal) is introduced as the flawless spy at the very onset of the film. He has a critical mission and while his face gives away fear, he oozes confidence in front of the enemy, thereby succeeding in it smoothly! However, the information revealed is frightening - Pakistan is planning an attack in 10 days and something drastic has to be done to prepare everyone for the war. This can’t be done in such short time, so he and Anupam Kher’s character have to devise a plan. They do have one, but it is extremely risky. A failure would not just mean over 30 lives being risked, but an impending war and bad image for the nation. Will Dev succeed in yet another critical mission where the stakes are so high? If he does, how will he achieve the feat? That’s the crux of the story.

The major fault in IB 71 is the slow first half, coupled with cringe dialogues. One that stayed with me is ‘ meri biwi pet se hai par khayal mere pet ka rakhti hai ’ (my wife is pregnant but takes care of what I eat). The spying continues for too long, breaking the pace. It gets painstakingly slow at points and even when Vidyut is out to fight, one might not feel a similar thrill like they always do.

See the trailer here :

However, it is the second half that redeems everything. It gets interesting and keeps us hooked. It is the second half where the action really begins, not literally. And by the end, thanks to the chest-thumping music meant to rouse your nationalism, you would not feel that bad.

Vidyut Jammwal is good with his performance. There are several sequences where he could have been better, but the character demands that he shows minimal emotions. When there is Vidyut, you expect action and he will give the audience just enough without overdoing it. Vidyut shoulders the film alone and takes up the entire screen time.

However, the show-stealer here is Vishal Jethwa. He might have limited screen space, but he simply excels in whatever he has been asked to do. Despite the over orange lipstick and cheek tint he is often given, he nails his role. From showing anger, fear or determination - he is good at all of it. He is severely underutilised and we hope we get to see him more.

Anupam Kher has what can be called an extended cameo . There is not much that he has to do and he does it effortlessly.

Director Sankalp, who had earlier worked in The Ghazi Attack, often loses control of the screenplay. His script could have been tauter and smoother. His hold on the reign is loose in the first half, which drowns the overall effect.

IB 71 REVIEW:

Some true events need to be told and heard and IB 71 is definitely one of them. Vidyut Jammwal and Anupam Kher starring IB 71 is a story of a true event that is worth knowing and here’s my honest review on this. When it comes to narrating a true story, you need to have the facts right and the evidence well-placed. Fortunately, I got to see all the right elements in this story with minor flaws. IB is Intelligence Bureau and 71 is the year when this mega incident took place.

Sankalp Reddy, the director of the movie, gives us the backstory of how Pakistani planned an attack on India. He then takes us through the incident with proper details. IB 71 is based on an operation by the spies who managed to lock the Indian air space while outsmarting the Pakistani establishments. They restricted their aeroplanes from flying over India, leading to the Nation’s victory in the 1971 war. Sankalp narrates a story that leaves an impact.

The first half of the film is slow as it takes you through the start of the story. However, it’s the second half of the film that picks up the pace and the story. You feel the rush and the anticipation to know what will happen next. When it’s a movie about RAW agents or IB agents, you just want that India should win it regardless of any circumstances. You feel the rush in you when there’s an intense scene or when you know they are going to blow their cover. A similar thing happened to me when I watched the movie.

Set in 1970, a two-front war between Indian intelligence agencies and the Pakistani establishment. After learning that Pakistan was preparing a war against India in 10 days, the agents in IB quickly made a plan even though they were not ready to strike. However, the agents of IB ensured to defeat them with smartness and not with might. Putting their lives at risk, the agents complete the task and blocked the air space with their intelligence.

Cinematography : Sankalp shows us beautiful locations of Kashmir and Lahore. The drone shots or the long shots of the place look majestic onscreen. There was one boat scene in the movie that was very well shot and executed.

Costumes : Sometimes half the movie looks pleasing when the makers keep apt costumes to period drama or historic movies. Since the movie is set in the 1970s, Sankalp showcases a good range on vintage collections. It looks perfect with the theme of the movie.

Background score : The background music of the movie adds more value and that’s what has happened with IB 71 as well. Given the fact the movie is intense, the thrilling music enhances the intensity of the scene. It gives you an adrenaline rush.

Drawbacks of IB 71:

The storyline : Given the fact IB 71 is a true story, in some places, it felt like it was made up. Don’t want to give spoilers but there are scenes that don’t seem real. However, it also raises a few questions regarding airport security, entering and leaving Pakistan like it’s no big deal when in real life it was.

Timelines : In the first half of the movie, the timeline seems a little confusing to me.

Star performance:

Vidyut Jammwal, the star of the film looks quite promising. The actor plays the role of Dev, an agent from the Intelligence Bureau. He is intelligent and always alert. Vidyut as an agent looks classy and dapper. However, speaking about his performance, he looks convincing as an agent but needs a little flow in dialogue delivery.

Anupam Kher needs no introduction as he plays his part perfectly well. He essays the role of the Chief of the Intelligence Bureau. He knows his part way too well and does it with ease.

Talking about Vishal Jethwa, he plays the role of an activist or a revolutionist who has only one aim. He can go to any extent just to get it. Vishal’s performance as Qasim Qureshi looks just as same as what I saw in Mardaani 2. Yes, he is young and I know he has potential but didn’t impress me this time.

On the other hand, Ashwath Bhatt often plays grey characters and he aces in his department. Dalip Tahil also makes a cameo. He plays Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who was the Former President of Pakistan and his talent seems to be a total waste in the movie.

Conclusion:

Overall, IB 71 is a decent film to watch. The film keeps you hooked. However, the second half of the film keeps you on the edge of your seat. Vidyut Jamwal delivers a promising role and a watchable movie.

IB71 Movie Review: Vidyut Jammwal’s Spy Thriller is an Unwitting Parody

Director: Sankalp Reddy

Writers: Sahar Quaze, Sankalp Reddy, Vasudev Reddy, Arjun Varma, Aditya Shastri, Junaid Wasi, Abhimanyu Srivastava

Cast: Vidyut Jammwal, Anupam Kher, Vishal Jethwa

If Pakistan is the enemy in an Indian spy thriller these days, you can be sure of a few base themes. One, every Pakistani behaves like a live-action Looney Tunes character. In the opening scene of IB71 , one of them is singing; another is snoring; the third is scowling. Two, their Urdu is a parody of Urdu: “Janaab” and “Tashreef” at the beginning of every sentence usually does the trick. Three, they always need to be taught a lesson; Hindi historical dramas, in particular, love teaching lessons. Whether the student countries need to learn or not is another matter. Four, each of them is a different sort of idiot. In this film, an ‘Azad Kashmir’ radical, played by Vishal Jethwa ( Mardaani 2 , 2019), hijacks an airplane dressed as a defunct 1920s Manhattan gangster in a hat and pinstripe suit. And five…actually, it doesn’t matter. You get the gist. Islamophobia and jingoism are the starting points. They’re too tacky to be offensive. They’re also – in fortunate cases like this one – not the movie’s biggest flaw.

IB71 is presented as “an untold story based on true events”. The film claims to be about a top-secret mission that’s been classified for more than 50 years. Vidyut Jammwal stars as Dev Jammwal, a muscular and intelligent Intelligence Bureau (IB) agent who comes up with a plan to stop Pakistan from attacking India before the 1971 war. It’s not an easy plan to describe, but here goes. Stay with me. Don’t get lost. Hold my hand if you like. So the IB discovers that Pakistan is in cahoots with China to blindside India from the East. They (or, as the voiceover insists, “We”) have 10 days to stop the West Pakistan jets from flying to the East Pakistan military base with the required weapons. Dev, the genius that he is, does some next-level reverse thinking. He proposes that India shuts down its airspace to prevent those West Pakistan planes from reaching the east, which in turn will foil the impending attack. Once he realizes that only an act of war can merit the closing of an airspace, Dev works even further backward. He in turn proposes to fake a hijacking of an Indian commercial plane – by letting real Azad Kashmir militants take control of a fake flight with 30 IB agents posing as scared civilians.

We’re not done. Hang on. Because the hijacking has to be of a specific type to ‘qualify’ as an act of war. For this, the plane must land in Pakistan and the passengers have to be safely transported back to India. Then, and only then, can India legally close its airspace (I bet you forgot this was the goal by now). The plotting and staging make up the first half of the film. The agents’ efforts to outwit Lahore officials and reach the Indian border form the second half of the film. The plan is so painfully elaborate that, when Dev initially narrates it to the IB chief (Anupam Kher), even the script gives up and lets music drown out Dev’s narration. Once his lips stop moving, we hear Kher respond with a curt “The execution will be difficult”. Dev promptly cites the examples of Lord Ram, Maharana Pratap and Guru Gobind Singh to prove that impossible is nothing. He’s right, though, because he is introduced in a scene where he simply walks into a Pakistani military camp disguised as a General, scolds an officer for singing Bollywood classics (“How will you hate India then?” he projects), fools a superior and walks out without going Rambo on a soul.

If it isn’t evident yet, IB71 is very much inspired by Ben Affleck’s Oscar-winning Argo (2012). The template is the same: Declassified mission, ridiculous plan, heroic extraction agent, pensive boss hovering over the phone at the bureau, last-ditch escape, egg on Islamic nation’s faces. But there’s one crucial difference. The film-making of Argo made the true story sound smart and audacious and funny. The film-making of IB71 makes the true story look silly and confusing and far-fetched. Let’s leave aside the cringey Pakistani caricatures for a beat. The Vishal Jethwa character, for instance, seems to be stuck in a parallel Dhamaal (2011) sequel. He’s so hammy that you almost expect Vijay Raaz to turn up as the cucumber-cool Air Traffic Controller. Then there’s the flight itself – the passengers swerve from side to side in the plane as if they were on an AC Sleeper bus to Goa.

The Kashmir sequences in the first half are visually striking, but I couldn’t get over how the radicals didn’t realize they were being followed by an imposing figure like Vidyut Jammwal – in the snow, no less. Nobody is as subtle or discreet as they think they are. When undercover cops communicate with each other through darting eyes and hand gestures at the Dal lake, they look like football managers attempting to signal a play to an aloof midfielder. When two radicals meet during a matinee show of Arzoo (1965) to discuss their master plan, the dubbing makes it sound like they want the entire cinema hall – including the not-so-undercover IB agents – to hear them. Apparently, they’re whispering. When a half-clever moment reveals that a male IB officer is answering ‘family’ phone calls from Lahore in fake voices, he ruins it by mimicking wives and mothers too. (“Quit when you’re ahead!” I screamed, in my most masculine voice). The only two female agents in the film make grave mistakes: One allows a Bengali civilian onto the pretend-flight, the other is stabbed at a hotel.

When the Indians are on the verge of being exposed, a late-night power cut comes to the rescue. At the end of the mission, we see Dev striding triumphantly in slow-motion in the pouring rain towards the border. The film concludes with an epilogue about Pakistan losing the war and failing to break India into parts (“Instead we broke them into two parts: Pakistan and Bangladesh, thus saving millions of lives”). When it cuts back to the hero, Dev is still striding in the rain. He looks pleased. Seasons change, India becomes a superpower, Novak Djokovic retires, AI ends sport, the cure to cancer arrives, climate change resurrect dinosaurs, a meteor strikes, Adam ghosts Eve, the internet is invented before the wheel, fiction ceases to exist, borders perish, movies return, I’m reborn and Christopher Nolan starts to direct the planet. But Dev is still striding in the rain in IB71 .

IB71 movie review: An interesting idea bogged down by contrivances and cliches

Vidyut Jammwal gives his brawn a rest and lets his brain do the talking in this mildly engrossing but otherwise trite thriller.

Cast: Vidyut Jammwal, Anupam Kher, Vishal Jethwa, Dalip Tahil

Director: Sankalp Reddy

Language: Hindi

Spoilers ahead

Few years ago, I read something very interesting on Twitter. It spoke about the predictability factor in Hindi cinema, and how a film that’s predictable isn’t necessarily a bad film. For starters, in Lagaan , we knew it was always going to be the underdog villagers that would trump the British in their own game; in Chak De! India , obviously it was going to be India, otherwise what’s the use of adding the name of our nation in the moniker. Also, nearly all love stories are predictable too, unless the makers have something else as a plan. But when a film ends up being both predictable and pedestrian, there’s a problem. Vidyut Jammwal and Anupam Kher’s IB71 is unfortunately one such film.

First of all, Jammwal has always been an earnest hero, occupied by stories and narratives that are dying to let his fists and fury do the talking. Here, where he also turns producer, he gives his brawn a rest and let his brain do the talking, which means there’s going to be a lot of talking happening. His entry scene sees him masquerading as a Pakistani officer and trying to save his colleague held captive in the neighboring nation. One would expect this as a solid conflict for the star to break into some spectacular action, but as I said, he has chosen words and not wounds to get the job done. And of course, he does get the job done.

The film is directed by Sankalp, who also made the impressive The Ghazi Attack , and here too, he tries to tell a story that was lost in the pages of history, or maybe was never allowed to come out of those pages. The problem with most of the films based on true events in these times is their sheer dichotomy. In most of the interviews, the actors stand by the fact that their films are based on true stories, and the disclaimers in the beginning have a completely different story to tell.  IB71  opens with a disclaimer that says that it’s indeed inspired by true events but…The but here makes all the difference. But obviously suggests the makers would’ve taken creative liberties to perhaps add more pulp to the material. What’s the use of these creative liberties when you can’t even make your leading man break some bones? But as I said, he has chosen words this time.

The story is based in 1971, when both Pakistan and China were planning an attack on India, and our hero Dev (Jammwal) has an idea, a plan that looks very hard to put on paper. He wants the officials of the intelligence bureau to block the airspace to prevent the supposed attack from happening. Just at the same time, he’s informed about a young boy Qasim Qureshi ( Vishal Jethwa trying to have fun) who’s planning to hijack a plane for the release of his 36 brothers (brothers here obviously means something else). Even though Jammwal is a man with limited emotions and expressions, the background music does the job of informing us what he’s thinking and what’s going to happen next.

Cinematographer Gnana Shekhar does a fine job of capturing the lusciousness of Kashmir and it’s only from here that  IB71  gets a little intriguing. Qureshi buys a ticket to watch the 1965 romance Arzoo daily, and of course it has to be a part of his plan. Who would’ve thought a film as tender as this could inspire someone in all the wrong ways? The other scene that’s executed skillfully is a scene at the hotel lobby, with all the passengers of the aircraft telephoning their families and how their otherwise wise cover is blown just as quickly. But many other scenes fail to evoke any excitement or emotion, especially the one where the aircraft is hijacked or even the climax. Even a seasoned actor like Kher stays perplexed throughout, albeit cracking a faint smile in the end when India outsmarts Pakistan.

For all the restraint in the narrative, the end credits taking pride in India defeating Pakistan in the 1971 war in a span of just 13 days reeks of jingoism. The intent might have been to evoke a sense of pride and honour (Hi Garv ) but to make the neighboring country look like an army of cliched and dimwitted villains for the 10000th time is now both tiring and terrifying. Look what Meghna Gulzar did with the remarkable Raazi , and how she gorgeously showed humans on both the sides of the border. Here, we have a bunch of stern faces mouthing Janaab after every line, the same issue that bogged down Mission Majnu this year. The end credits are accompanied by a voiceover of Jammwal, what we read is also what we hear. As I said, the man has chosen words this time.

Set against the backdrop of 1971 India Pakistan conflict, IB 71 chronicles the story of blocking the air space to put an end to the air strike plotting done by Pakistan in tandem with China. However, due to protocols, the Indian Agencies can’t execute the mission and hence decide to take a route that none could expect. Based on an intel about hi-jack of a flight from Kashmir to Jammu, IB agent, Dev Jammwal, becomes a part of the hi-jack to eventually pass on the blame on Pakistan in-turn leading to the airspace blocking in sync with international protocols.

What works?

IB 71 is a well shot film – director Sankalp Reddy and cinematographer Gnana Shekar V.S – capture the beauty of Kashmir and present it like a spectacle on screen. The story of IB 71 by Aditya Shastri is intriguing, though the issue is with the screenplay and dialogues. The film has some moments in the second half which hold attention and create the interest on what comes next.

The pre-interval action block, the action sequence in the hotel and the telephone interaction sequence in the middle of second half are the moments which shine bright and make the film an average watch. Sadly, these are the only moments which work well in the narrative, as the other sequences don’t come together. The performances by Vidyut Jammwal and Anupam Kher are two other plus points for IB 71.

What doesn’t work?

IB 71 is let down by a shoddy screenplay, as the first hour is filled with moments that just lead to confusion. The conflict is not established for a chunk of the film whereas the characters don’t get enough time to shine on-screen. The film probably warranted a longer runtime for simplification of the conflict before proceeding towards the conclusion.

The villain’s track is one of the biggest negative aspects of IB 71. Vishal Jethwa’s track doesn’t lead itself seamlessly into the story. It’s surprising that the director of Ghazi Attack has come up with a rather incomplete film. Though the episodes of IB 71 are based on true and real events, the execution makes us question if it really happened. The film does gain momentum in the second half, but even then, it requires a big suspension of disbelief for the way Pakistani Agents behave in the story.

Performances

Vidyut Jammwal does well as IB agent Dev Jammwal. He is restrained and underplays himself beautifully to play an intelligence officer. He is effortless in the action sequences and the more you see him, the more you believe that a right action story with Vidyut can be a treat for the audience. Anupam Kher as IB Chief N.S. Awasthi plays his usual self and through the years he has mastered the art of playing characters in this zone. Vishal Jethwa acts well, but is let down by a poorly sketched role. The film has a big ensemble cast – ranging from Dalip Tahil, Faizan Khan, Suvrat Joshi, Mir Sarwar among others – and everyone does a decent job in their limited roles.

IB 71 is an average affair that had the potential to be a great watch. The film warranted better, or rather, smarter writing to leave an impact though there are some moments in the second half that save it from being a complete let down.

Sankalps direction is weak. He has simply not been able to recreate the excitement, anxiety and thrill of the real-life drama €” neither in the script (co-written by him) nor in the narration nor even in the performances of the actors.On the whole, IB 71 is a dull fare and, therefore, will go quite unnoticed at the box-office.

IB71 leaves one with the nagging feeling that it could have been a much better film has the writing been a less of the by-the-numbers kind. But even as a middling spy drama, it is not without its moments.

Ratings: 2.5/5 Review By: Zinia Site: India Today

Director Sankalp, who had earlier worked in The Ghazi Attack, often loses control of the screenplay. His script could have been tauter and smoother. His hold on the reign is loose in the first half, which drowns the overall effect.

Ratings: 3/5  Review By: Simran Site:DNA

But there are shortcomings too. One of the significant drawbacks of this film is the sluggish first half. You might lose interest in between and find it too slow for a spy thriller. The movie also lacks suspense factor and isn’t at par with thrillers like Madras Cafe, Baby, or Raazi. You don’t feel the adrenaline rush in the pivotal moments. Still, the movie is a decent thriller.

Ratings: 2/5  Review By: Kusumika Site: Zoom TV

In the end, this abysmal espionage movie fails to deliver any semblance of intrigue, suspense, or entertainment. It serves as a painful reminder of what can happen when lazy writing, uninspired acting, and amateurish direction collide, leaving the audience longing for their wasted time and hoping for a swift end to this cinematic catastrophe.

Ratings: 3/5  Review By: Saheli  Site:Bollywood Bubble

Overall, IB 71 is a decent film to watch. The film keeps you hooked. However, the second half of the film keeps you on the edge of your seat. Vidyut Jamwal delivers a promising role and a watchable movie.

Ratings: 2.25/5 Review By: Vinamra  Site:Firstpost

But when a film ends up being both predictable and pedestrian, theres a problem. Vidyut Jammwal and Anupam Khers IB71 is unfortunately one such film.Here, we have a bunch of stern faces mouthing Janaab after every line, the same issue that bogged down Mission Majnu this year. The end credits are accompanied by a voiceover of Jammwal, what we read is also what we hear. As I said, the man has chosen words this time.

Ratings: 3.5/5  Review By: Ronak Site: Times of India

€œIB 71€ is an engaging watch that sheds light on a remarkable chapter of history, instilling a sense of pride in our intelligence network. With a runtime of nearly two hours, the film maintains a screenplay that keeps the audience captivated throughout, ensuring there is never a dull moment. If you have an affinity for period action thrillers, this film successfully checks the boxes.

The dynamic duo, Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja and Harish Shankar, have reunited for Mr. Bachchan, which hit theaters today amidst high expectations. Without further ado, dive into our review to see how it fares.

Anand, aka Bachchan (Ravi Teja), is a straight-laced income tax officer suspended due to his unwavering honesty. Upon returning to his hometown, he falls in love with Jikki (Bhagyashree Borse), who soon reciprocates his feelings. Just as things start looking up, Bachchan is reinstated and tasked with raiding the home of a powerful local figure, Mutyam Jaggaiah (Jagapathi Babu). What follows is a daring mission that tests Bachchan’s resolve, revealing unexpected challenges and twists.

Positive Points:

When Mr. Bachchan was announced, many doubted the idea of remaking the hit film Raid. However, Harish Shankar manages to surprise by keeping the essence of the original while tailoring the story to suit Telugu audiences.

Ravi Teja shines in a role that seems custom-made for him. As the determined IT officer and the romantic lead with a deep admiration for legends like Kishore Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan, he delivers a performance full of energy and charm. His on-screen chemistry with Bhagyashree Borse is delightful and adds a refreshing touch to the narrative.

Bhagyashree Borse is a standout in her role, bringing both glamour and emotion to the screen. Her performance is bound to catch the attention of many in Tollywood. Jagapathi Babu, too, leaves an impression, particularly in his intense exchanges with Ravi Teja. The rest of the cast did their part well.

The film’s comedy, led by Satya, hits the mark, and Mickey J Meyer’s soundtrack adds vibrancy, particularly in the lively and massy songs. The use of retro music during romantic scenes offers a nostalgic feel that fans of Amitabh Bachchan and Kishore Kumar will appreciate.

Minus Points:

Harish Shankar successfully blends elements like romance, action, comedy, and punchy dialogues to entertain mass audiences, particularly in the first half. However, the second half loses its way, straying from the main plot and introducing unnecessary comedy that dilutes the film’s impact. The absence of the same level of intensity and mass appeal that was present in the first half is noticeable.

While Bhagyashree Borse excels in her role, she is underutilised in the second half, with limited screen time that doesn’t do justice to her character. Jagapathi Babu’s character, initially portrayed as a formidable antagonist, fades in the second half, losing the impact built up earlier in the film.

The climax, unfortunately, feels outdated and implausible, even within the mass-entertainment genre. A more meaningful approach to the climax fight could have enhanced the film’s appeal.

Technical Aspects:

As a director, Harish Shankar does well in balancing mass elements with comedy and romance in the first half, but the second half’s pacing and coherence could have been stronger. As a writer, he could have focused more on refining the second half, but when it comes to crafting punch dialogues, he excels.

Cinematographer Ayananka Bose captures the film beautifully, especially during the song sequences. Editor Ujwal Kulkarni could have tightened the second half by cutting unnecessary scenes. Mickey J Meyer’s music stands out, offering a mix of energetic tracks that elevate the film. The production values are solid, and the art department’s efforts to create a retro vibe, particularly in the first half, are commendable.

On the whole, Mr. Bachchan has its moments but caters primarily to mass audiences. Ravi Teja and Jagapathi Babu deliver decent performances, and Bhagyashri Bose adds a touch of glamour, but the second half falls short due to unnecessary comedy and pacing issues. If you’re a fan of Raid, the original movie that inspired Mr. Bachchan, it’s best to temper your expectations.
