Movie plot is good, but spoiled by unnecessary smoking scenes. The inspector smokes as if that is so important for the character. The women reporter also overacts, drinks, and smokes. Her behavior is unnecessarily mimics prostitute which isn't good for Gujarati cinema or audience. A good movie is spoiled by two characters and their stupid character building using alcohol and cigarettes. I would have rated this movie higher if smoking and alcohol was not shown. Also, lady reporter role should have been given to someone else a better fit....let's hope next time this movie writer producer director consider some cleanliness.
The cinematography, all the camera angles and the lightings in many of the scene is awful. The pacing of the film is real pain for the viewers as well. The story had a great potential but it seemed apparent that they didn't know how to end the movie, The ending seemed very abrupt and tease of sequel used as a tool to buy some time to write the story forward, which should be considered shameful from the writer and director of the movie. The story, background music and acting from few individuals made the movie worth. I would not suggest people to watch it in theatre and wait for it to showup on OTT. It felt as if making suspense movie is not a cup of tea for the director no matter how much some people praise him for it.
Starting is very good as you can the heist is taking the form but after the Iqbal's quantity rising scene per scene is too much. Also we know if bollywood or south make this, than everyone accepted. But the cameraman did the worst job, to make every scene intense he shoot everyone's face in close up. Too much close up in every scene. Also too much other slow scenes, taking too much time to deliver the dialogues. Why too much songs in this suspense and mystery genre movie?? Acting was perfect of everyone. Strange thing that one Journalist working on the CBI case. Hope they not spoil the Iqbal 2.
I will start with PROs:
1. Great script, hands down to the writer. It keeps you invested in the movie and guessing how and where it will go from every turn in the movie.
2. Few unexpected moves made it even better and yes, no spoils but there is huge surprise at the end of the movie.
Only thing that would keep it from being a big hit is starcast. Having so many talented actors in gujarati cinema today, they chose really bad actors, and being honest, the lead actor playing the role of Iqbal is very bad.
Still, give it a shot. Totally worth your money and time. You would be in for a surprise.
Ifthey had more money and better actors, it would have created a wave lyk CHELLO DIVAS 👍

One & only plus point about the film is novel story , such that can make every Gujarati cinegoer proud . But the good thing stops here .
Iqbal is the story of perfect heist done in first few minutes of the movie , and rest is based on how the cops working (with the help of a journalist) to catch Iqbal .
Interesting plot but poor direction , overacting by leads (including Devki ), and confused screenplay lands up nowhere. .
There are plenty of technical loopholes hard to digest for the viewer . Excessive smoking scenes, repeatative narration of Iqbal and his so called character profile scenes makes the movie boring after an intrigue first hour.
It is really painful to see such poor quality of final product though having amazing plot.
