FIR - Faizal Ibrahim Rais

We all know nowadays movies comes with a climax twist. Some are great whereas some ridicule the viewers. For me, this movie belongs to the second category. The climax twist is little too much to digest and it spoiled the overall buildup of the movie.

There were twists and turns. But had higher expectations on the storyline with Vishnu Vishal and Gautam in key roles. Later half the story felt flat and didn't leave a good taste.

RATED 8/10 Language: Tamil Source: Amazon Prime RECOMMENDED

Superb first half and its very racy. The second half is so diluted with sentiment and confused climax. The climax twist will be so good for mass masala movies, but for this serious movie not at all suit. I felt like fooled in the climax... After climax all the fist half scenes and mother sentiments looks meaningless.... But the director should be appreciated for keeping the audience hooked till the end of the movie.... Worth the watch.

The screenplay of what happens when an innocent's life is destroyed for no reason does strike well and it definitely would make someone emotional cry in some of those scenes as well.

For some reason, the cinematography looked awful and the music didn't work at all.

The GVM play was neat & good just like a top-notch security guy of the country, well written and executed as well.

The surprise element in the climax was really good and really came as a surprise w/o a guess and the final message of the film about how it is not about religion but about the people involved in it was spot-on. But, I doubt it, since the makers of this film are torch-light bearers for the religion and their whole game plan is to support that religion as their livelihoods and business & political ventures depend on it.

Recently, there have been many films coming up targeting the same religion for whatsoever reason, this film being one of them gives a sense of feeling that becomes a drawback for the film, no matter how good it may be.

Lacking originality - unfortunately.

Acting could have been much better!

Borrowed storylines from Homeland season 5 and Family Man season 1!

The only difference is the ending which is how is supposed to be!

Direction shows the inexperience but in comparison to some of the experienced directors' movies on terrorism, being a rookie he definitely stands out!

Overall it's an okay movie.
