Fateh

Sonu Sood has done a commendable job as both an actor and director. His presence on screen is strong, and the film's editing features some creative transitions that add a refreshing touch. The songs are beautifully placed and perfectly complement the narrative.

However, the action scenes fell short of expectations, feeling quite generic and failing to connect with the story's emotional depth. The movie struggles to deliver on the emotional aspect overall, starting and ending slowly without offering any memorable high points for a couple-oriented genre.

The background music during action scenes was underwhelming, lacking the impact needed to elevate those moments. While there are flashes of brilliance, the film could have done more to balance its emotional and action elements for a stronger impact.

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 good watch.sonu sood is fantastic... direction is nice.action is brutal....overall it's a complete package , a good entertainer....must watch in theatre.jaqlines is not upto the mark.but overall fits in the character.action sequences are well choreographed, sonu sir as a actor did a very nice job...bgm is good.performance wise 7 out of 10.storyline is little predictable but action fills the requirements.u can go for it without any doubt.it worth a single panny.im not a reviewer but after watching this I'm trying to give my first review may be it will help you to decide weather to watch this movie or not...I will give this movie 7 out of 10.

Amongst the super hyped, so called superstar movies of bollywood and south, full of utter nonsense from start to end, this one comes as breath of fresh air. Sonu Sood has done something as director and actor with this movie which none has been able to do in recent past - creating a john-wickish but original movie which is away from typical Indian action movies (as if hollywwod was not sufficient enough, now south is also hyped into this league of rubbish content pan India). Probably for the first time in last 1 decade or so, this is a movie which you can watch without having to suffer thru mind-numbing mediocracy or feel like fast forwarding scene after scene.

Caution - if u r fan of pushpa 2, jawan, kgf, 2042 or something, this-that kind of movies, then u will most likely find this one kind of boring.. u will probably ask what is special about it? U will not feel like whisling. Nothing special probably from "cinema" perspective but a genuine, crisp, original (with some fight sequences inspired may be from kill bill and so) action movie made in Indian language, which is very very rare case.

Dialogues in most parts and script are tight. Story could have been improved avoiding few lapses here and there, the movie had the potential to be in Indian Bourne league.

Showcases great potential of Sonu Sood as director and will wait for a more polished next project of his.
