FIR

U are an engineer from IIT, leading a peaceful existence in Chennai. U frequently attend job interviews, yet u find it tough to secure gainful employment. Wherever u go, u are hounded by the same question: are u religious? But why should your religion matter so much? Why should u always be viewed with suspicion? The answer is obvious. Its all because your name is "Irfan Ahmed". Tamil movie #FIR is a decent thriller, with good performances by Vishnu Vishal, Manjima Mohan and Raiza Wilson. Running time should be reduced by 15 minutes. Rating 3/5.

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.

Vishal has done a good job. His portrayal of a Muslim youngster convinces. The first half, some may get disappointed as I felt ans the second has the reason for that 1st half loosely knit storyline. Only after watching the reasons behind, the movie felt great. Good story and the 2nd half has the gist of the story. Definitely not a theater thriller; recommending u to watch in ott.

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.

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.
