The story of this movie is incredibly well written.
and shows the ground reality problem Indian citizens face everyday from politicians to government officers and how media houses portrays anyone.
Some scene of this movie are beautifully captured. the best thing about this movie is they shows every detail how a superhero and his mask develop and involve.
If there were not some major flaws in the movie like the guy easily hacking immigration site to update his status of boarding a flight to USA,police never enquiring his office whether he is working at the onsite assignment and he roaming around the city taking the risk of police or someone of the goons to see him(let alone his colleagues or friends or friends of friends in the city)......
this movie would have been a perfect treatment of what I would say the first true superhero movie of India..not the childish adaptations like Krish.
Bhavesh Joshi and his friend, Sikku wanted to bring a change and obviously they are not bruce Wayne or Peter Parker or Tony Stark. but what mattered is they tried and here lies the crust of the film--a superhero is one who tries to bring a change even though he may fail doing that.
The treatment of the movie was awesome --acting brilliant! Both the guys enacted Sikku and Bhavesh Joshi perfectly. I tried not to create a spoiler--go watch it if you liked Nolan's adaptation of Batman ( not that are remotely comparable in class but because they tell us superheroes are ordinary human beings like us but they try and care to bring a difference)

Director Vikramaditya Motwane is back after a well attempted film Trapped which was released last year. The Harshvardhan Kapoor starrer film is under the production house of Phantom. Written and directed by Motwane, this is an action+drama of an Indian Superhero, called Bhavesh Joshi, who fights against wrong.
It is a tale of two friends, who are inspired from a party to getting justice. And ended up making 'Insaaf Duo'. They make videos of people doing wrong things, & then upload them on social media. One of them gets settled with his job. The other one is still doing to save his country and countrymen. One day a case has been come to him about water crisis. How he will solve it, or what this case is bringing to him and his partner, is the story of this film.
Phantom production always brings to us something fresh. This is not a marvel or DC film, where we can see some superhero flying. Here we see a common man fighting for all common men. Water crisis is the biggest crime one can ever do. I mean, here there is no problem of that. But I'm sure this film is surely based on some facts. To understand what this type of crisis is, and how normal people are affected to this, you have to see this film. I am thankful to the makers, for showing this crime on celluloid.
Harshvardhan Kapoor is superb. This film is his true debut film. He is the perfect choice of Sikku in this film. Priyanshu and Ashish give solid support. Shreiyah Sabharwal looks stunning. Nishikant and other badmen deliver good performances.
What I like the most, is background score. Though, there are not any song in the film. Except two in the background. Chavanprash sounds cool to me. Qasam Kha Li is suitable in the flow. But, hat's off for the subtle background score in the entire film. No high, no low, to the mark!
Overall, this film is surely an one time watch. Chase sequences are damn cool. The entire climax portion is superb, too. People, who are watching this film over Veere, are generally boys. They will surely remember Harsh's avtaar for a longer time. 'Hero paida nahi hota, banta hai.' Thumps up for the real life superhero. Go for it.
