Collar Bomb

A simple and effective plot - A cop races against time to stop a suicide bomber holding school children hostage. The bomber forces the cop to commit illegal acts in order to save the children, and there is a twist in all of this.

"Collar Bomb" is thriller with nice story on paper but it has been poorely executed. Despite the film's intriguing concept, direction and execution are very poor and choppy.

Director Dnyanesh Zoting not able to create that necessary tension and thrill element in this one. The film looses its steam from start itself which is very very slow and the climax is just bad.

Performance wise Jimmy Sheirgill, the only strong point in the movie is very impressive as a cop. He try to carry the film but at the end of the day the writing and direction was very bad.

All in all this is a avoidable thriller. Very poorely made film.

Plot is quite confusing. Casting is not as per the mark. End of movie is totally baseless. Pls.dont waste your time on this movie.

I watched Collar Bomb in orig. Hindi w/Eng. Subs on Disney+Hotstar.

The basic crime plot is pretty good ... The film is set in Sanawar, Himachal Pradesh. Sr. Inspector Manoj Hesi(Jimmy Shergill) is being felicitated at a memorial for a deceased student Neha, at a prestigious Sanawar school. Neha a teenager went missing while strolling in the woods with her classmate. The classmate told the police that someone tried to molest them and while trying to escape, Neha went missing. The police found her body in a deep well where she had apparently fallen. Hesi and his jr Negi (Ajit S Palawat) saw a young boy running through the woods. Thinking him to be the suspect, they caught and beat him so badly that he died. They then both shot him in the back to make it look like he was escaping. The post mortem Dr is persuaded to state that Neha was molested by the dead boy. A botched up case is successfully closed as solved. Nobody else knows the truth. Cut back to the memorial where suddenly there is a shooting and a teacher gets injured while a young boy looking like a fully armed suicide bomber Ali (Sparsh Srivastav) with a device on his collar, pounces into the scene. The boy makes various bizarre demands that are to be fulfilled if the children are allowed to leave the hall alive. Hesi convinces Ali that he will get the demands fulfilled and is allowed to proceed.

The rest of the film though engrossing, goes thereafter to bizarre and way too convoluted. A lot of unseemly incidents have been going on in ostensibly peaceful Sanawar which come to light. Eventually the bomber is disarmed but the truth about the police encounter killing of Neha's purported molester gets exposed and Hesi is convicted. But the truth about Neha's death is something else altogether. Watch the film to find out more.

This could have been an excellent crime thriller if it had not got so bizarrely convoluted.

Anwar says: It is not necessary that good intentions translates into a good movie and the discredit goes mainly to the Screenplay writer Nikhil Nair and of course the director Dnyanesh Zoting of this 86 minutes long movie streaming on Disney Hotstar.

Jimmy Shergil , the cute little boy , of Machis or Saheb of Saheb, Biwi aur Gangster disappoints with his flat surface performance. Asha Negi as woman cop , recently seen in LUDO, played her character with conviction.

Failed to understand as to why the Muslim name is compulsorily associated with terrorism, even if the story doesn't demand so, and Collor Bomb is no exception.

Cinematography is top class in the beautiful city of Sanawar. The movie moved with fast pace but at many places lost the track. Both Nair and Zoting should sit and think, what went wrong before planning any new venture. A lot of time of the viewers would be wasted in understanding the twists and turns and they are hardly hooked to the story.

In short, pass 😔
