Sonu Sood’s directorial debut Fateh is an action-packed thriller where he plays an ex-spy, leading a mission to fight cybercrime.
The 127-minute film opens with an intense action sequence, setting the tone for the movie’s violence, which repeats in various forms throughout.
The story shifts from Punjab to Delhi, with Sood’s character taking on numerous villains, including Naseeruddin Shah as a cybercriminal mastermind and Vijay Raaz as his ruthless accomplice.
Jacqueline Fernandez plays the tech-savvy heroine, and there’s a subplot involving a girl from Fateh’s village that drives his quest.
While Sood’s performance as a solo action hero is convincing, the plot quickly becomes overly contrived and chaotic, with excessive violence and far-fetched twists.
The film relies heavily on action scenes, which, though thrilling at first, soon become repetitive and exhausting.
It’s a ride for those who enjoy non-stop action, but for others, it may feel like too much.
