Wow. What a well told story. I was pleasantly surprised and loved every bit of the movie. Although its not promoted a lot, i would advice anyone who loves a thriller, to please go and watch this movie. A great storyline. Kadak performances from the entire cast. Thriller from start to finish. Left the theater with a lot of pride for our untold Heroes. The film gives you the patriotic feeling without hyping on it and also with no sloganeering. Vidyut as the main lead was perfect in the role. Anupam Kher, as always, is an actor par excellence. Happy that the director stuck to the plot and didn't stray from it by adding dream sequences or item numbers.
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.

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.

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.
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!
