A finely directed spy thriller with remarkable finesse and restraint, IB71 is a film based on a phenomenal real-life mission executed by our secret services, and after watching this film, it fills you with pride. By not revealing all the cards at once and dumbing down everything by dumping information in the form of narration, the film retains a sense of urgency and suspense. It falters in writing especially in the detailing as a lot of things happen too easily and conveniently in the mission, but despite those hiccups, its tense narrative and brisk pace make the sail smooth. The BGM is nice and Vidyut shows his dramatic chops in this film and passes neatly. IB71 is not a great film but it executes its subject matter skillfully and will leave you with a good 2 hours worth of your time.
