Fateh

Tone, Script & Story: The story is about a guy who once worked for intelligence and now is retired and settled in Punjab. The main guy goes looking for a girl and in turn fight against one of the said cyber-crime organization.

During promotion Sonu said its story of every Indian. I was worried if it does not turn out well. To be frank I expected more. But no worries whatever is served is not bad.

What I liked most is the action. It's not like those movies in south. What I further liked is script it appears genuine.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The village, the city, the surveillance, the cyber rooms, the characters, etc all have been captured well. Sonu, Kudos! U did well.

Music is good and goes well with the movie. Acting if considered Sonu appears slightly dim while acting as village person, but kills once action kicks in. Jacqueline is beautiful & acts nice. I think she lags in Hindi.

Final Verdict: Sonu has done a lot for people in need. He would feel good if movie does well. If you love the reason mentioned above you will love the movie. Others please support for his kindness.

Well, personally I like Sonu Sood. He is a great actor. Even in this movie, his point of acting was really strong.

Anyway, the story was good enough to produce a good movie; however, it took a nosedive just because of the average screenplay direction. For instance, when Fateh was getting details on Nimrit's disappearance, that point could have been more detailed & made the story more intense.

Secondly, a villain is the heart of Indian films. That should have been introduced in a more intensive & thrilling way.

Yet, in some points, some dialogue deliveries were mind-blowing.

Last but not least, after watching the ending point, I am assuming that there will be a part 2 of this movie, although it hasn't been announced. If there is a sequel, I hope they will learn from their mistakes & make the next part with full attention to details.

Fateh, starring Sonu Sood in the lead role, takes viewers on a journey through the world of cybercrime, blending action, drama, and a sprinkle of social awareness. Directed by Sood himself, the film is an ambitious debut that touches on critical issues but slightly struggles to leave a lasting impression.

The story begins with Fateh (Sonu Sood), an ex-special ops officer turned peaceful village supervisor in Punjab, who is thrust back into action when a young girl from his village becomes a victim of a malicious cybercrime syndicate. Teaming up with Khushi Sharma (Jacqueline Fernandez), an ethical hacker, Fateh seeks to expose the criminals and deliver justice. The plot aims to shed light on the dangers of cybercrime while offering audiences a classic masala entertainer.

Sonu Sood fits well into the role of Fateh. Whether portraying a fierce special ops officer or a humble man living in a village, he brings sincerity to the character. His action sequences are compelling, and the emotional undertones of his performance highlight the character's genuine motivations.

Jacqueline Fernandez, as Khushi, gives her all but remains somewhat underwhelming due to a lacklustre character arc. While she looks good opposite Sood, her role as an ethical hacker could have been more robust and less reliant on the "beauty with brains" trope.

A special mention goes to Vijay Raaz, who portrays the antagonist Satya Prakash with his usual flair. While the character occasionally feels one-dimensional, it's refreshing to see Raaz step into a darker role, offering a performance that is both new and entertaining compared to his usual positive or comedic portrayals.

As a directorial debut, Sonu Sood's effort is commendable. The film's intent to spread awareness about cybersecurity is evident and appreciated. The direction is solid, though not groundbreaking, and the story has its heart in the right place. The cinematography captures the rural charm of Punjab well, but the VFX-heavy fight scenes could have been subtler and less distracting.

While Fateh deserves credit for its noble intentions and engaging lead performance, it ultimately falls into the trap of being just another formulaic action film. The somewhat uneven pacing, random inconsistencies, and underdeveloped characters keep it from reaching its full potential. The 'one-man army' approach felt unnecessary, as showing Fateh getting some backup would have made it more realistic -- but no, he must do it all alone.

For fans of Sonu Sood or those looking for a light masala entertainer with a socially relevant theme, Fateh might be worth a watch. However, it's not a film that will linger in your mind long after the credits roll.

Fateh is good watch.sonu sood is fantastic... direction is nice.action is brutal....overall it's a complete package , a good entertainer....must watch in theatre.jaqlines is not upto the mark.but overall fits in the character.action sequences are well choreographed, sonu sir as a actor did a very nice job...bgm is good.performance wise 7 out of 10.storyline is little predictable but action fills the requirements.u can go for it without any doubt.it worth a single panny.im not a reviewer but after watching this I'm trying to give my first review may be it will help you to decide weather to watch this movie or not...I will give this movie 7 out of 10.

Sonu Sood has done a commendable job as both an actor and director. His presence on screen is strong, and the film's editing features some creative transitions that add a refreshing touch. The songs are beautifully placed and perfectly complement the narrative.

However, the action scenes fell short of expectations, feeling quite generic and failing to connect with the story's emotional depth. The movie struggles to deliver on the emotional aspect overall, starting and ending slowly without offering any memorable high points for a couple-oriented genre.

The background music during action scenes was underwhelming, lacking the impact needed to elevate those moments. While there are flashes of brilliance, the film could have done more to balance its emotional and action elements for a stronger impact.
