Fateh movie directed and starring Sonu Sood released on January 10, 2025. This action thriller delivers a powerful message on the fight against cyber crime and the insecurity of our digital lives.
Story Synopsis :
The movie 'Fateh' centers around Fateh (Sonu Sood), a common man from Moga, Punjab, who embarks on a revenge mission after a girl falls victim to a cyber crime ring. This cycle traps people with fake loan apps and harasses them with high interest rates.
Acting:
Sonu Sood gives a strong presence as Fateh, though the emotional side of the character could have been explored more deeply. Naseeruddin Shah and Vijay Raj deliver notable performances in their limited time, with Raj's subtle humor in particular bringing relief to the story.
Jacqueline Fernandez as Khushi, an ethical hacker, does her part well.
Direction & Screenplay:
Directed by Sonu Sood, the movie is shot in various locations, highlighting the prevalence of cyber crime. However, the fast-paced story sometimes leans towards the unrealistic, although the fast-changing nature of today's digital fraud makes it somewhat believable.
Action and Music:
The movie's action scenes evoke memories of stylized violence in Hollywood like 'John Wick' and 'Kill Bill'. Although the escalating violence may not be suitable for all viewers. Background music by John Stewart Edury and Hans Zimmer added to the excitement, though at times it felt overdone.
Critics' Opinion:
Times of India gave the movie a rating of 3.5/5, while Filmfare gave a rating of 2.5/5. According to Komei, the movie portrays Sonu Sood's mission against cybercriminals, but it might be tiring for the audience.
Conclusion:
The movie 'Fateh' raises awareness about the insecurities of our fast-paced digital life. While its gory narrative may not suit everyone, it effectively conveys the urgency of its theme.
