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.

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 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.
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.

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.
