B. Tech starts making its point only after the first 90 minutes which it uses to narrate the daily lives of a bunch of slackers currently finding it unable to complete their Engineering studies. When one of their group members is accused of being a suicide bomber, the leader of the gang (Asif Ali), who has been slacking off for close to eight years now, vows to prove it wrong and fight for his friend and companion against the prosecution's prejudiced ways. Bollywood recently had a very similar film - Anubhav Sinha's Mulk (2018) - where he focuses on the idea of 'Islamic terrorism', which is the central topic here as well. But I don't understand why director Nair had to waste 90 minutes of his viewers or even turn this into a film. Much like how Mulk suffered from a poor container for its important message, B. Tech suffers from incongruity and fails to have an impact on its audience because of the vast difference in the two halves that make his debut feature film. The comedy, the songs, and the decent performances can all be counted, but that's not the point here. As a viewer, if those parameters matter to you the most, then B. Tech will be a treat. Otherwise, it's a film that could have been an article on Medium. Give it some claps and move on. TN.
The film B. Tech is a cinematic work belonging to the romantic drama thriller genres, directed by Mridul Nair.
The narrative commences with the introduction of Azaad, a young individual who enrols in an engineering college in Bangalore. He subsequently becomes part of a group of Malayali students who have been pursuing their supply exams for an extended period. The group's primary gathering place is a Malayali hotel situated in front of the college. Azaad is depicted as an innocent character from a disadvantaged background who demonstrates academic excellence. However, the group members are experiencing a decline in their academic motivation.
The film then focuses on campus life, including classes, examinations, conflicts, romance and leisure activities. Once, the group visits Azaad's village and learns that he was raised in an orphanage and has only a sister. His financial needs are met by natives. In the second half, Azaad is killed in a bomb blast after returning from the village. The police then accuse Azaad and the other Muslims in the gang, despite a lack of concrete evidence. In response, the students organise protests and various programmes, seeking to uncover the truth behind the bomb incident.
The narrative was engaging, the direction satisfying, and the performances noteworthy. Additionally, the musical scores and comedy scenes were impressive. However, there were some instances of mass masala items and clichés, which detract from the overall quality of the production. Nonetheless, it is a valuable resource for one-time watching.

Really a good movie till 3/4 th of the film,after that juat regular scenes...
Really good director,good script,good screen play
The director have no clue what he is doing. Very predictable cliche storyline. Some message they want to send out by this film, but its not at all convincing and is full of errors. Really bad. Stay away!!!
I'm not going to lie. Initially, the movie comes off an a typical "iddi padam", and rightly so. A good two thirds of the film are spent with the main characters smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and getting into fights. While you might find all of that a bit dry or unpleasant while watching it, this first block of the film is essential in building the foundation of the plot and the backstories of the characters. I think that the knowledge that the viewer picks up about the characters during the first part of the film is what heightens the effect of the the second portion of the film. You get so attached to the characters that when you reach the turning point in the film, it hits you like a train. Like man, I was absolutely wrecked. If you keep watching this movie you won't be disappointed. I feel sorry for anyone who sits down to watch this film, and gets up before the turning point in the film, because they've missed out BIG TIME.
