Fateh

Tone, Script & Story: The story is about a guy who once worked for intelligence and now is retired and settled in Punjab. The main guy goes looking for a girl and in turn fight against one of the said cyber-crime organization.

During promotion Sonu said its story of every Indian. I was worried if it does not turn out well. To be frank I expected more. But no worries whatever is served is not bad.

What I liked most is the action. It's not like those movies in south. What I further liked is script it appears genuine.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The village, the city, the surveillance, the cyber rooms, the characters, etc all have been captured well. Sonu, Kudos! U did well.

Music is good and goes well with the movie. Acting if considered Sonu appears slightly dim while acting as village person, but kills once action kicks in. Jacqueline is beautiful & acts nice. I think she lags in Hindi.

Final Verdict: Sonu has done a lot for people in need. He would feel good if movie does well. If you love the reason mentioned above you will love the movie. Others please support for his kindness.

Fateh is not just a film, it feels like Sonu Sood has poured his heart and soul into it. Making his directorial debut, Sonu delivers a total paisa vasool experience, packed with emotion, action, and a strong dose of patriotism. From the first scene itself, he grabs your attention not just with his massive, muscular, hot body and chiselled six-pack, but with the fire in his eyes and his powerful screen presence.

As the lead, Sonu is outstanding. Whether it's the intense fight scenes, the emotional dialogues, or the silent moments of pain and sacrifice, he does it all with full sincerity. The action sequences are top-class, raw, real, and very stylish. You can clearly see the effort he's put in, both as an actor and as a director. The patriotic angle in the film hits hard. The background score, the visuals, and the emotions connect straight to the heart!

What's clear is that Sonu Sood deserves more lead roles. He's a total package-looks, talent, and heart. It would be amazing to see him as a lead in Malayalam or Bengali cinema too! He can definitely bring something new and powerful to regional films. With Fateh, Sonu has proved he's not only a fantastic actor but also a strong director. He truly deserves National Awards in both categories for Fateh. Hats off to him for making such an impactful film. We hope this is just the beginning of many more blockbusters from him.

I went in with decent expectations, especially considering its premise. The idea of fake loan apps and digital scams is very relevant today, and I thought it could lead to an engaging and thought-provoking story. The first half seemed promising-action was well-paced, and the storyline had a good setup, and I was genuinely invested in seeing where it would go.

But then the second half completely lost me. The film quickly devolves into nothing more than a series of mindless gunfights, to the point where it felt like I was watching someone play a third-person shooter video game. It was eventually clear that the filmmakers were heavily inspired by the action sequences in Animal, but unlike that film, Fateh failed to make those scenes anything more than repetitive and tiring.

The forced attempts at comedy during action scenes didn't land at all. In fact, they felt out of place and just awkward. As for the performances, Jacqueline Fernandez struggled to even deliver her lines correctly, with half of them sounding as mumbles. On the other hand, Naseeruddin Shah, was sadly underutilized and didn't get much to work with. Vijay Raaz, too, was just doing the same old stuff we've seen from him in previous films-no new ground broken here.

Overall, Fateh starts off with a solid premise and some decent buildup, but it completely fizzles out in the second half. The action and forced humor couldn't save it. If you're looking for something fresh or even just well-executed, this one's pretty much avoidable.

FATEH is a film that takes a fairly good idea, but dumb it down due to simplistic execution. Thankfully, the film isn't selling itself on the strength of its story, as the focus is clearly on its brutal R-rated action. It's a good thing that the action delivers, although it too suffers from some minor issues like excessive use of shaky cam, firing limitless amount of bullets from a single gun, villains conveniently not having guns or not choosing to shoot from long distance when hero is unarmed etc. For a first timer director, Sonu Sood does an admiring job, and he excels physically too in the lead role as the mysterious assassin. While watching this film, I got reminded of BEEKEEPER. The best thing that I liked about this film is that right from the beginning, there were no dull moments, and even though the film turned farfetched in many parts, it remained engaging throughout.

If the story was given a little more care, this could have turned into something really great. Alas! It wasn't meant to be.

A big shoutout to Vijay Raaz, the man totally chewed the scenery whenever he was on the screen. Although I was very disappointed by Naseer Sahab; not sure what went wrong, but he wasn't even a tiny bit menacing as the main antagonist. Jacqueline is meh (as always), and the decision to make his relationship with Fateh as a romantic one was clearly a mistake.

Overall, FATEH is a decent film that works due to its admirable idea and good action, although it would have worked even better had the screenplay been not so basic and improbable, and the core idea not so oversimplified.

Fateh is a decent action-packed movie that you rarely find in Bollywood these days. Fateh is not that good, but it is good compared to other action films with big names from the industry. I was so happy after hearing about this film. Finally, Sonu Sood is doing a film as a lead. He has been working in the industry for more than 20 years. With his charming personality and attractive features, he would have been a hero in mainstream movies. But he failed to grab lead roles because he was not from a family with a cinema background. Besides, he has six-packs, good height, a manly/masculine voice, fashion sense and decent acting, which was a constant threat for many of the nepo kids. As a result, he faced dirty politics in the industry and kept getting supporting roles. I believe Sonu will act in films like Fateh more in the upcoming days, at least two movies per year. Best of luck to him.
