IB 71

A finely directed spy thriller with remarkable finesse and restraint, IB71 is a film based on a phenomenal real-life mission executed by our secret services, and after watching this film, it fills you with pride. By not revealing all the cards at once and dumbing down everything by dumping information in the form of narration, the film retains a sense of urgency and suspense. It falters in writing especially in the detailing as a lot of things happen too easily and conveniently in the mission, but despite those hiccups, its tense narrative and brisk pace make the sail smooth. The BGM is nice and Vidyut shows his dramatic chops in this film and passes neatly. IB71 is not a great film but it executes its subject matter skillfully and will leave you with a good 2 hours worth of your time.

India vs. Pakistan spy stories is a genre I can dig into at any time. So I may be overrating it but it's exactly of my type. Plz, make more of these!

Film Review IB71 starring Vidyut Jammwal running in theatres currently #sanjuzzreviews #IB71 #vidyutjammwal #thrillermovie #Espionagethriller IB71 is a espionage action film based on true events that were instrumental in India winning the 1971 war against Pakistan.

With the situation reaching a boiling point in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), the IB gets information about an attack on India by Pakistan who are supported by China. The defence establishment has only 10 days to prevent it. Won't reveal much as it would spoil the fun.

Rather than being a usual Vidyut Jammwal film with lots of action scenes, this is different, with the focus being primarily on playing mind games to outwit the enemy rather than out and out action. The plan is totally un-guessable with lots of thrills and tense moments that keep you engrossed throughout the length of this 2 hr film.

Jammwal is awesome as the protagonist and so are the rest of the cast who lend valuable support to him. Grt casting!!

Cinematography is just awesome. Shot in Kashmir in the winters when the blanket of white snow covers the length and breadth of the land, it is indeed a visual delight.

All in all a no nonsense film without any unnecessary sub plots or songs to divert focus on the main plot.

It is unfortunate that good films like these are getting very less no. Of screens which will definitely impact it's overall collections.. sad but true. Jammwal is an underated actor who definitely deserves more !!

Comes very close to films like Baby, Holiday, Raazi, Gaazi attack !!

Going with 3.5/5 ... Don't go by critics who have panned the film ... Highly recommended.. go for it... Adios 🙂!!

IB71 is a must watch film with an interesting storyline. The cast is also really apt and everyone has performed upto the mark. Vidyut Jammwal has done a great job. The character of two hijackers Vishal Jhethwa and Faizan Khan is interesting as well as quite funny. Anupam Kher is awesome as always. The setting is perfect and movie flows quite well from beginning till end. This is Vidyut Jammwal's first film that has minimum action and we get to see him purely as a good actor. Though the dal lake action sequence has been put nicely. I believe they should release the song that plays during the end of the movie that may help the movie reach more people. Everyone should support Vidyut as he is a hardworking actor who has carve a niche for himself in the Bollywood industry.

Sankalp reddy does it again, after Ghazi, another beaituful and tout thriller.

Jamval is very nice as well as other cast.

Movie will not let you rest as story will move very fast along with suspense and thrill moments. Few action scenes which are well done and are believable.

Villain of mardaani is here in important role and he aces it.

Movie is very good and is a definite must watch. Reddy sir take a bow.

Setting of 1971 is very good , climax has very nice song, bgm also is food.

Kashmir is very beautifully depicted and you would like to wander around the scenery.

I am not sure of the story if it is based on true events but if yes then simply splendid effort.

It's must a watch film..compelled to at back till the end.. might have been more thrilling. Vidyut and other actors acted very well. BGM is also a plus point. Although most of the scenes are very well corrected but at some point of time it feels very much disconnected. Vishal Jethwa is a promising actor. Vidyut needs to bring some humour as well in his acting, always looks serious. Anupam Kher has very less screen presence. All Pakistan part was very thrilling. Storyline is good but screenplay looks losen at manybpoint of times. Vijaya song was very good but lacks the feeling behind it on the screen.
