FIR

Lacking originality - unfortunately.

Acting could have been much better!

Borrowed storylines from Homeland season 5 and Family Man season 1!

The only difference is the ending which is how is supposed to be!

Direction shows the inexperience but in comparison to some of the experienced directors' movies on terrorism, being a rookie he definitely stands out!

Overall it's an okay movie.

U are an engineer from IIT, leading a peaceful existence in Chennai. U frequently attend job interviews, yet u find it tough to secure gainful employment. Wherever u go, u are hounded by the same question: are u religious? But why should your religion matter so much? Why should u always be viewed with suspicion? The answer is obvious. Its all because your name is "Irfan Ahmed". Tamil movie #FIR is a decent thriller, with good performances by Vishnu Vishal, Manjima Mohan and Raiza Wilson. Running time should be reduced by 15 minutes. Rating 3/5.

Storyline and screenplay of the movie is different and interesting and keeps the audience glued except for the last 30 minutes, which was very vague and too predictable, that period could have been better handled.

One question that keeps popping out throughout the movie is, why would religion matter in all the interviews that protagonist is attending, probably a better logical reason could have been given.

Acting and facial expressions of Vishnu Vishal & Gautam Menon are too good and they both steal the entire show.

Another great aspect of the movie is its Cinematography and some frames make the audience feel 'Wow'. One can also learn how not to come to conclusions about people just by looking at their name, complexion and other obvious things.

The screenplay of what happens when an innocent's life is destroyed for no reason does strike well and it definitely would make someone emotional cry in some of those scenes as well.

For some reason, the cinematography looked awful and the music didn't work at all.

The GVM play was neat & good just like a top-notch security guy of the country, well written and executed as well.

The surprise element in the climax was really good and really came as a surprise w/o a guess and the final message of the film about how it is not about religion but about the people involved in it was spot-on. But, I doubt it, since the makers of this film are torch-light bearers for the religion and their whole game plan is to support that religion as their livelihoods and business & political ventures depend on it.

Recently, there have been many films coming up targeting the same religion for whatsoever reason, this film being one of them gives a sense of feeling that becomes a drawback for the film, no matter how good it may be.

There were twists and turns. But had higher expectations on the storyline with Vishnu Vishal and Gautam in key roles. Later half the story felt flat and didn't leave a good taste.
