Featured reviews
IB71 is a must watch film with an interesting storyline. The cast is also really apt and everyone has performed upto the mark. Vidyut Jammwal has done a great job. The character of two hijackers Vishal Jhethwa and Faizan Khan is interesting as well as quite funny. Anupam Kher is awesome as always. The setting is perfect and movie flows quite well from beginning till end. This is Vidyut Jammwal's first film that has minimum action and we get to see him purely as a good actor. Though the dal lake action sequence has been put nicely. I believe they should release the song that plays during the end of the movie that may help the movie reach more people. Everyone should support Vidyut as he is a hardworking actor who has carve a niche for himself in the Bollywood industry.

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.

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 🙂!!

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.

Sankalp reddy does it again, after Ghazi, another beaituful and tout thriller.
Jamval is very nice as well as other cast.
Movie will not let you rest as story will move very fast along with suspense and thrill moments. Few action scenes which are well done and are believable.
Villain of mardaani is here in important role and he aces it.
Movie is very good and is a definite must watch. Reddy sir take a bow.
Setting of 1971 is very good , climax has very nice song, bgm also is food.
Kashmir is very beautifully depicted and you would like to wander around the scenery.
I am not sure of the story if it is based on true events but if yes then simply splendid effort.
