Since past couple of years, the magic buzz word in Indian cinema has been Kill-Thrill--it Will grip the box-office. After Ranbir Kapoor"s Animal, and Karan Johar"s Kill, and even Marco --now it seems to be actor-turned debut director Sonu Sood to step into the non-stop killing machine screen-avataar. With his latest action-almost-non-stop-violence movie "Fateh" (victory) where macho-actor Sonu does impress as its writer-debut director. Maybe, not all thru the entire movie but in major portions. .Seasoned star-actors Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Raaz shine despite their limited screen-time. With his imposing sinewy screen-presence as the desi-avataar of Hollywood brawny he-man Sylvester Stallone, the versatile Sonu look super-amazing on screen. Fateh Singh (Sonu Sood) an ordinary citizen employed in Punjab, resolves to bring back Nimrat Kaur (young charming actress Shiv Jyoti Rajput) who has implicated herself into the trap of an app-loan scam and cyber terrorism. In this dedicated mission, Fateh has a deadly encounter with every possible opponent and threat. Also to add the glamor-quotient, Fateh is escorted by glamorous Khushi Sharma (Jacqueline Fernandez) supposedly an ethical-hacker computer genius. The ordinary aam-aadmi Fateh transforms into an extra-ordinary tough guy.. What the audience gets to watch in Fateh is an edgy nail-biting gripping suspense action-thriller that graphic, spine-chilling brutal but has emotional breathers of romance Fateh is different from Animal, Kill or Marco, and that seems to be the cinematic triumph ( “Fateh)” of actor-director-writer Sonu Sood. What makes Fateh stand apart from most other Hindi action movies in the past despite the overdose of shocking violence is the avenging motive of the angry-not-so-young hero, the unconventional story and the sincerity of Sonu The movie begins on a rattling note, with Fateh killing nearly 98 people in a hotel ball-room, and then getting injured in a planted bomb blast. The movie cruises into flashback mode and the "fateh-pur" journey is "triggered off". Among the plus points of Fateh is its hatke storyline, which is socially relevant and contemporary. The movie deals with tackling digital app loan scams, UPI links frauds and nefarious streaks of cyber-terrorism The visuals and dialogues acquaint you with local and global cybercrime and the modus-operandi of the crime cartel-syndicate works Fateh conveys the strong social message “Bachke rehna rey baba—daulat ki laalach kay mayajaal mein kabhi nahi fansna" As the big bosses of the cyber-terrorism syndicate, Raza (Naseeruddin Shah) and Satya Prakash (Vijay Raaz) are quite impressive and unleash silent terror with their menacing presence and deadly dialogues, although they both have limited scenes .in the 130 minutes slick thriller. Although Sonu Sood shines as a rugged macho actor his writing and debut-direction in lavish production Fateh leaves a lot more to be desired. It could have been much better. At the same time the cinematography, the foreign locations, some of the dialogues and BGM ( background music is excellent. While certain action scenes in "Fateh" do strangely remind you of English films like "The Equalizer ( 2014), the songs in Fateh do not have a recall value. All said and done, "Fateh" is a one-time watch only if minimum subtle romance, high-octane slick action, and bloody ruthless mayhem-violence genre is your type of movie.
