IB 71

A finely directed spy thriller with remarkable finesse and restraint, IB71 is a film based on a phenomenal real-life mission executed by our secret services, and after watching this film, it fills you with pride. By not revealing all the cards at once and dumbing down everything by dumping information in the form of narration, the film retains a sense of urgency and suspense. It falters in writing especially in the detailing as a lot of things happen too easily and conveniently in the mission, but despite those hiccups, its tense narrative and brisk pace make the sail smooth. The BGM is nice and Vidyut shows his dramatic chops in this film and passes neatly. IB71 is not a great film but it executes its subject matter skillfully and will leave you with a good 2 hours worth of your time.

India vs. Pakistan spy stories is a genre I can dig into at any time. So I may be overrating it but it's exactly of my type. Plz, make more of these!

Film Review IB71 starring Vidyut Jammwal running in theatres currently #sanjuzzreviews #IB71 #vidyutjammwal #thrillermovie #Espionagethriller IB71 is a espionage action film based on true events that were instrumental in India winning the 1971 war against Pakistan.

With the situation reaching a boiling point in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), the IB gets information about an attack on India by Pakistan who are supported by China. The defence establishment has only 10 days to prevent it. Won't reveal much as it would spoil the fun.

Rather than being a usual Vidyut Jammwal film with lots of action scenes, this is different, with the focus being primarily on playing mind games to outwit the enemy rather than out and out action. The plan is totally un-guessable with lots of thrills and tense moments that keep you engrossed throughout the length of this 2 hr film.

Jammwal is awesome as the protagonist and so are the rest of the cast who lend valuable support to him. Grt casting!!

Cinematography is just awesome. Shot in Kashmir in the winters when the blanket of white snow covers the length and breadth of the land, it is indeed a visual delight.

All in all a no nonsense film without any unnecessary sub plots or songs to divert focus on the main plot.

It is unfortunate that good films like these are getting very less no. Of screens which will definitely impact it's overall collections.. sad but true. Jammwal is an underated actor who definitely deserves more !!

Comes very close to films like Baby, Holiday, Raazi, Gaazi attack !!

Going with 3.5/5 ... Don't go by critics who have panned the film ... Highly recommended.. go for it... Adios 🙂!!

Wow. What a well told story. I was pleasantly surprised and loved every bit of the movie. Although its not promoted a lot, i would advice anyone who loves a thriller, to please go and watch this movie. A great storyline. Kadak performances from the entire cast. Thriller from start to finish. Left the theater with a lot of pride for our untold Heroes. The film gives you the patriotic feeling without hyping on it and also with no sloganeering. Vidyut as the main lead was perfect in the role. Anupam Kher, as always, is an actor par excellence. Happy that the director stuck to the plot and didn't stray from it by adding dream sequences or item numbers.

Parent's guide: absolutely safe to watch with family, young or old. Not a single uncomfortable scene.

Excellent plot and very well executed. Keeps you on hook almost throughout the length of movie.

Neither beating-on-chest patriotism which looks too dramatic to relate to, nor a wannabe American spy/war related movie which again is not relatable.

Well placed actors however small or big role they are in.

Chase scene on boats in Dal lake to airport tension scenes, all well created.

Feel bad for Vidyut Jamwal who inspite of being such a good actor remains unappreciated in Bollywood still dominated by nepo and nepo-promoting gangs.

The kind of subject that they had they could have made an awesome movie. I felt that the climax was too short and they spent too much time in plot building which killed the thrill.

Vidyut Jamwal was as usual good in the movie.

Screenplay lacked the punch.

Cinematography was great, i got a good vibe while watching the movie.

Direction was good but the story writer took some wrong decisions and due to which I was felt that the movies ended very quickly. I was expecting that the climax was played a little long with a little more thrill and this could have been one of the best hindi spy thriller movies.
