Forensic

Film review Forensic streaming on Zee 5 #sanjuzzreviews #ForensicOnZEE5 #RadhikaApte #VikrantMassey #ZEE5 A remake of the 2020 Malyalam film with the same name starring Tovino Thomas & Mamta Mohandas , the plot involves a serial killer who is on the loose in Mussoorie, brutally killing young girls on their birthdays.

Radhika Aapte as the police officer investigating the case and Vikrant Massey as the forensics guy look through the clues and try to bring the killer to book. Will the duo who have a romantic past forget their differences & emerge victors is what this film is all about.

Cinematography is good, hilly terrain, misty mountains have been beautifully showcased!!

Aapte and Massey have given decent performances even though Massey seems to be hamming in a few scenes. Rest of the cast isn't bad either with Vindu Dara Singh, Ved Prakash Mathur, Rohit Roy & Prachi Desai lending good support to the protagonists.

Even though the twist in the end is nice and virtually inconceivable, it could've been shot better. It lacks the shock value and fails to create adrenaline rush moments. This cudve been done better.

If you don't compare it with the Mallu original, this one's a decent one time watch.

My rating .. 3/5.. Adios 🙂

Review By Kapil Siddharth 'Forensic' directed by Vishal Furia, produced by Deepak Mukut, Varun Bagla and Mansi Bagla, is streaming on Zee5. It is an adaptation of Malayalam film 'Forensic' released in 2020.

The film is set in Mussorie. Little girls are getting murdered on their birthdays. Police Officer Megha (Radhika Apte) tries to solve the mystery with Forensic expert Johny (Vikrant Massey). Both of them were in a relationship. Megha's niece Aanya (Harbandana Kaur) lives with her and Megha doesnt allow her father Abhay (Rohit Bose Roy) to meet Aanya as she thinks that Abhay is responsible for the death of another daughter Aadya and wife Divya (Zeba Sherrif) . Abhay is Johny's elder brother. Aanya visits Dr. Ranjana (Prachi Desai) for counseling sessions. Meanwhile Aanya also goes missing. Where is Aanya ? Who is killing little girls ? What is the motive of the killer ? Will Megha and Johny catch the culprit ? The climax answers all these questions.

Vishal Furia's direction is neat. Though the film is an adaptation, there are a lot of differences between the two films. The writing by Mansi Bagla, Adhir Bhatt, Ajit Shashikant Jagtap and Vishal Kapoor has its moments and the writers have made many changes in the original script. The writing is engaging enough. The detailing of forensic and how the department works to solve a mystery is a novelty for Hindi cinema. Also the twist in the climax may seem over the top yet comes as a surprise.

Vikrant Massey is noteworthy. Radhika Apte is competent. Prachi Desai is appealing. Rohit Bose Roy is acceptable. Vindu Dara Singh, Subrata Dutta, Anant Mahadevan, Harbandana Kaur, Narendra Gupta and Jatin Siyal are passable.

Anshul Chobey's cinematography is admirable. Adrija Gupta's music is mediocre. The songs are not placed well and seem forced. Abhijeet Deshpande's editing could have been sharper. Jitendra Mhatre's makeup needed to be much better at certain places. In a nutshell 'Forensic' may not be an exceptional film like the original but it is watchable due to decent performances, interesting plot and the shocking twist.

I watched the original Malyalam movie and this one , respectively within a gap of 10 hrs.

The original movie was exciting however the bollywood version is much better in comparison.

The editing, screenplay of forensic are way better than the original. The story moves at a rapid pace with only a few dull moments that can be ignored.

This movie has altered the story line as compared to the original movie and I must say that the team did a fantastic job in covering all the loopholes that the original one left.

Acting wise Vikrant Massey and Prachi Desai take the cake. Radhika Apte aptly supports them as well. Vindoo Dara Singh and other supporting actors did a great job.

Overall the movie won't disappoint you, don't listen to bollywood haters and just enjoy the experience.

The storyline of this movie is just amazing, and the acting is also good. However, the story could be more batter. They did a very good work in acting. Overall, I really enjoyed a lot.

This is a good thriller film, which managed to keep the suspense till the end. Great performances from Radhika mam and Vikrant sir. Surprising and great performance from Prachi Desai mam.
