    Summary

    Reviewers say 'IB71' is a spy thriller with themes of bravery, tension, and historical significance. Positive reviews commend Vidyut Jammwal and Vishal Jethwa's performances and the engaging narrative. However, critics note issues with the screenplay, pacing, and unrealistic elements. Some find the execution lacking despite the promising premise. The cinematography is praised, but the background score and certain performances receive mixed feedback. Overall, 'IB71' is seen as a mixed bag with strong visuals but flawed storytelling.

    Good movie

    The movie ib71 is really very good family movie that I did not expected from a vidyut jamwal film (this is my first vidyut jamwal movie)..i went thinking it would be all action movie having lots of stunts, masala, bare body show but to my surprise its a good thriller, tightly packed movie with good story inspired by true events..Its based upon indian operation just like BABY. The movie dont have any song or any extra scenes and the length of movie is only around 2 hour..characters were good acting also good..for a cinema lover this would be a treat to watch.............i will definitely recommend this movie.

    Very tight thriller

    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.

    Raw and unpolished

    Sameer lodaya

    Very strong subject was presented in a Raw and unpolished version

    Vidyut was low on his performance and his prosthetics were also very poor he did not match to this strong character nor any special action moreover anupamji were not explored some strong dialogues were expected from him..vishal was very good

    The subject was very strong but the making was very loose,no great thrilling scenes no action no dialogues no goosebumps effect no patriotic feelings no songs the subject is so much thrown on you that you feel bored and heavy.

    It was good Sunday afternoon family entertainer if released on ott platform as Vidyut is followed very well on digital platforms.

    Good but could have been great

    The kind of subject that they had they could have made an awesome movie. I felt that the climax was too short and they spent too much time in plot building which killed the thrill.

    Vidyut Jamwal was as usual good in the movie.

    Screenplay lacked the punch.

    Cinematography was great, i got a good vibe while watching the movie.

    Direction was good but the story writer took some wrong decisions and due to which I was felt that the movies ended very quickly. I was expecting that the climax was played a little long with a little more thrill and this could have been one of the best hindi spy thriller movies.

    Highly underrated. Worth watching!

    Parent's guide: absolutely safe to watch with family, young or old. Not a single uncomfortable scene.

    Excellent plot and very well executed. Keeps you on hook almost throughout the length of movie.

    Neither beating-on-chest patriotism which looks too dramatic to relate to, nor a wannabe American spy/war related movie which again is not relatable.

    Well placed actors however small or big role they are in.

    Chase scene on boats in Dal lake to airport tension scenes, all well created.

    Feel bad for Vidyut Jamwal who inspite of being such a good actor remains unappreciated in Bollywood still dominated by nepo and nepo-promoting gangs.
