Can you have a slow moving thriller? Yes you can and this is a perfect example. Granted that this is a spy story set in early 90s Delhi and a major part of the movie consists of interrogation of a deaf mute by a sign language expert, the pace could have been made faster. A sluggish portion of around 30 minutes could have been easily clipped off resulting in the creation of a 90 minutes long taut and riveting thriller.
Despite this shortcoming all credit is due to director Atul Sabharwal for realistically presenting the environment of a questioning in progress in a claustrophobic room and the dark interiors all this amidst the ongoing intrigue filled action. Even the shrill ringing of the archaic telephone is made to sound ominous and sinister. The question and answer in sign language is far too extensively picturised and becomes monotonous after some time. The old world charm of the 90s including the buses, Fiat cars, cradle telephones, tape recorders etc has been brought out well. (The setting and picturisation resembles the work of Martin Scorsese at places.) The series of complex events and the subplots at one point become boring to pursue and correlate. In the acting department Aparshakti Khurana and Rahul Bose have done fairly well though I felt that they were unnecessarily wooden. There are also a few inaccuracies which have become glaring.

This story actually resembles a spy thriller without the traditional potboiler and the fuss. Berlin revolves around the story of the two premier intelligence agencies in India who, instead of competing against the foreign enemy, compete against each other to gain brownie points.
The plot of this movie slowly unfolds, and when it actually unfolds, I bet you will be in awe of the storytelling technique. Lots of breadcrumbs have been intentionally left to give you the wow factor that you get when confronted with a fact hidden in plain sight. I recommend this movie for the pure joy you get when a mystery is unfolded and the mystery is about your country.

A very interesting thriller with very unusual cinematic treatment. On the backdrop of a spy story, this delves deeper into human pysche and politics within intelligence department.
The direction is such that it does not reveal clearly what is the motive. What starts as a story about unveiling an assassination attempt on Russian President's visit in India actually turns out to be an internal political slugfest. Director Atul Sabharwal is at his best when it comes to working on a story heavy on political state-of-affairs. However, its not your regular suspense-thriller plot. Forget being a who-dun-it or even a why-dun-it, for a very long part in the film, the audience keeps wondering what-is-happening. Until the entire mystery unveils layer by layer in the penultimate moments. Even here, there isn't easy spoonfeeding of information and the audience has to be discerning enough to grasp the overall narrative. Thereby the treatment is not like a regular thriller but the director wants you to learn things on your own. Thankfully amidst this, the storytelling does not turn abstract though it has its moments of ambiguity.
Performances are a mainstay with Aparshakti Khurana, Ishwak Singh and Rahul does in absolute form. The slow burn pacing can be overlooked thanks to the speed up facility in Zee5 OTT app.

Movie Review: Hindi Film Berlin streaming on Zee5!!
Berlin is an espionage thriller, set in 1993 , a few days prior to the visit of the Russian president to India, a deaf- mute person Ashok (Ishwaq Singh) is arrested for being a spy. He is the only person who might have a clue to an assassination plot that threatens to derail the entire fabric of Indian politics.
Pushkin ( Aparshakti Khurana), a sign language expert is brought in by the Bureau chief Sondhi ( Rahul Bose) to interrogate Ashok . As the interrogation proceeds , the thin line between guilt & innocence blurs. Things are not what they seem and there is something sinister brewing in the backdrop !!
A mind bender in the true sense . A gripping faceoff between Aparshakti & Ishwaq is the highlight as both try to get an upper hand in the interrogation!! The effort put in by the lead characters, especially their proficiency in sign language shows, as they breeze through the interrogation like 2 specially abled persons talking effortlessly ! Impressive indeed 👍 🙂!
Another aspect showcased brilliantly is the intense rivalry between 2 top security agencies in India , the Bureau & Wing , their disjointed way of working and reluctance to collaborate for the greater good of the country!! Sad State of affairs indeed !!
And finally, how is the name Berlin relevant in the context of the narrative ??
The climax too is out of the world that will blow you away!!
If you're a fan of edge of the seat thrillers, this Aparshakti Khurana, Ishwaq Singh, Rahul Bose starter is definitely recommended!!
Going with 3.5/5 for this one.. Adios 🙂!!

One of the best thrillers to come out recently. The story is quite engaging and at par with Hollywood movies . The movie is not for ones seeking acton but for those who enjoy a good story build-up. The story is engaging from the start and does not take time to delve into the main plot .
The climax comes with a twist that is almost non existent in Bollywood.
The cinematography depicting the Delhi of the 90's is quite beautifully done.
The acting is commendable especially for Iswak Singh, whose facial expressions convey his emotions aptly
The story stays on with you even after you have finished the movie.
Give this move a chance and you will not regret it.
