Visfot

Shoaib (Fardeen Khan) is working as a cab driver to make ends meet and has a mother suffering from dementia. In order to look after her, he is stuck in Dongri though he had once left it. He has a supportive girlfriend named Lucky who works at a restaurant. Shoaib's friend leaves a jacket while getting arrested and the jacket contains drugs. A fire accident at home has Shoaib's mother misplace the jacket and now Shoaib is in trouble with a lady Don Acid Tai, to whom the drugs belonged. Elsewhere, Akash (Riteish) catches his wife cheating red-handed and in that process, leaves his child at the restaurant, Lucky works at. Things escalate enough for the kid to land up at Shoaib's house and Acid Tai turns it into a kidnapping for ransom. How does Shoaib and Akash get out of this mess, forms rest of the story.

I have not seen the original and still I felt the film to be dated. Produced by Sanjay Gupta and directed by Kookie Gulati, the screenplay simply lacked the highs and intense moments to sell this story. It revolved around the same Dongri being the place for criminals and a couple pretending to live a posh life while in debt, two opposite worlds colliding while neither of them being truly happy in their respective lives. The narrative remains one toned and sadly, there aren't any memorable characters as well. Seema Biswas in her brief appearance is obviously good but even her role is not the main focus. Both Fardeen and Riteish's roles needed better treatment too. Overall, Visfot falls under "been there, seen that" list of films, offering nothing interesting.

First 15 minutes; Shoaib gets up in the morning. Does a namaz, goes to girlfriends house, makes intercourse. Girlfriend gets up and goes to work, on the way she prays in front of Jesus and that's it .. I realised Shoaib is going to be victim of circumstances and somebody else will be a villain. Oh then a lady with big bindi on her forehead with traditional attire arrives on screen to be the cruel villain.

Police role as usual corrupt and making injustice.

Hero the victim of circumstances tries best to do all the good things except adding some wisdom to his brain.

Really thankful to @GemsOfBollywood.

Visfot is a complete waste of 2 hours and 10 minutes. Fardeen Khan, in his attempt to make a comeback, has chosen a story that will likely derail that comeback entirely. Abbas Dalal's writing feels so confused that even Hussain Dalal seems unsure of what to do with the plot.

It's a wasted opportunity for fine actors like Riteish Deshmukh and Sheeba Chaddha, whose talent is completely underutilized here. The kind of movies Jio Cinema picks really makes you wonder if they need to hire a better content acquisition team.

Unless you're looking for a visfot (explosion) in your head, stay far away from this one.

We have such an agony that in Bollywood now even for a remake or copying a movie no one is taking an extra initiative or effort to add or create logical scenes as per Indian culture and geographical location. In a first look itself anyone can recognize it's an International copied or remake movie. Our film industry lazy guys are now just copying and pasting the content. Portraying scenes without any logic, promoting extra marital affair, defaming certain areas in Mumbai as Crime Hub shows all in negativity. Fardeen comeback is good but all others actors are OK. A one time watch movie on OTT and not to waste money and time in theatre.

Visfoot had potential, but unfortunately, it falls flat in almost every aspect. The storyline is confusing and lacks coherence, jumping between poorly written subplots that lead nowhere. The characters are shallow, with no development, making it hard to care about any of them. The lead actors, despite their previous successes, seem disconnected and uninterested, delivering lifeless performances.

The film's pacing is terrible, dragging in some parts while rushing through others, and the editing is sloppy. The dialogue is cringeworthy, filled with clichés and forced humor that doesn't land.

Overall, Visfoot is a major letdown and feels like a half-hearted attempt at filmmaking. That lady acting of mothers of child, her script and other things could updated.

Save yourself the time and skip this one.
