Film Review IB71 starring Vidyut Jammwal running in theatres currently #sanjuzzreviews #IB71 #vidyutjammwal #thrillermovie #Espionagethriller IB71 is a espionage action film based on true events that were instrumental in India winning the 1971 war against Pakistan.

With the situation reaching a boiling point in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), the IB gets information about an attack on India by Pakistan who are supported by China. The defence establishment has only 10 days to prevent it. Won't reveal much as it would spoil the fun.

Rather than being a usual Vidyut Jammwal film with lots of action scenes, this is different, with the focus being primarily on playing mind games to outwit the enemy rather than out and out action. The plan is totally un-guessable with lots of thrills and tense moments that keep you engrossed throughout the length of this 2 hr film.

Jammwal is awesome as the protagonist and so are the rest of the cast who lend valuable support to him. Grt casting!!

Cinematography is just awesome. Shot in Kashmir in the winters when the blanket of white snow covers the length and breadth of the land, it is indeed a visual delight.

All in all a no nonsense film without any unnecessary sub plots or songs to divert focus on the main plot.

It is unfortunate that good films like these are getting very less no. Of screens which will definitely impact it's overall collections.. sad but true. Jammwal is an underated actor who definitely deserves more !!

Comes very close to films like Baby, Holiday, Raazi, Gaazi attack !!

Going with 3.5/5 ... Don't go by critics who have panned the film ... Highly recommended.. go for it... Adios 🙂!!
