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!

Very strong subject was presented in a Raw and unpolished version

Vidyut was low on his performance and his prosthetics were also very poor he did not match to this strong character nor any special action moreover anupamji were not explored some strong dialogues were expected from him..vishal was very good

The subject was very strong but the making was very loose,no great thrilling scenes no action no dialogues no goosebumps effect no patriotic feelings no songs the subject is so much thrown on you that you feel bored and heavy.

It was good Sunday afternoon family entertainer if released on ott platform as Vidyut is followed very well on digital platforms.

The movie ib71 is really very good family movie that I did not expected from a vidyut jamwal film (this is my first vidyut jamwal movie)..i went thinking it would be all action movie having lots of stunts, masala, bare body show but to my surprise its a good thriller, tightly packed movie with good story inspired by true events..Its based upon indian operation just like BABY. The movie dont have any song or any extra scenes and the length of movie is only around 2 hour..characters were good acting also good..for a cinema lover this would be a treat to watch.............i will definitely recommend this movie.

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.
