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 brilliant 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 from the main plot.

It is unfortunate that good films like these aren't getting the required no. Of screens which will impact it's overall collections adversely... sad but true??!! Jammwal is an underated actor who definitely deserves more !!

IB71 comes very close to films like Baby, Holiday, Raazi, Gaazi attack !! Mind game wala film hai, jara dhyan se dekhiyega !!

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

The movie ib71 is really very good family movie that I did not expected from a vidyut jamwal film (this is my first vidyut jamwal movie)..i went thinking it would be all action movie having lots of stunts, masala, bare body show but to my surprise its a good thriller, tightly packed movie with good story inspired by true events..Its based upon indian operation just like BABY. The movie dont have any song or any extra scenes and the length of movie is only around 2 hour..characters were good acting also good..for a cinema lover this would be a treat to watch.............i will definitely recommend this movie.

One brave episode of the stories untold of the valent bravery, smartness , sharpness of the Indian armed forces , intelligence, and administration to make us live safely . Stories like this such must be told to make us proud of our finesse .

This movie is the time machine era of the past , and if we start thinking and tell the millinials , they will think of it as a myth. This is 1971. No one has even thought of the internet , leave alone 5g,4g,3g. No mobile, minimal telephones - only for the few elites, also no wireless even for the armed forces. No television, no radio for masses, communication was leisure. In this era of 1971 when India's intelligence got info that Pakistan and China were planning to wage a war on India in the north-eastern front to cut off the 7 sister states from the mainland. The intelligence head calls a meeting with the minister and ministry of defense, and the army tells that they minimum need 2 months to get war ready in a 2 front war. But the Intel is that war can be waged on us very soon, may be in the next 15-20 days. One officer of the intelligence dept. Presents an out of the box idea, tough to implement but very effective, which can give time to Indian army to be war ready. And after a nod from ministry, the plan starts.

The lead Vidyut, as dev the Intel officer, has shown a new dimension of his caliber. Minimal action , no flaunt of male chauvinism but amazing acting. He has brewed to a very flavorful, versatile cast to any movie. Anupamji is an ever loved one. One actor who stood out of the most unknown actors is vishal jethwa. He has the confidence and control for the content. Full marks to sankalp reddy and Lee Whittaker for staying put to content and not going for any jingoism . Also, full marks for keeping things apt to the era of the movie.

It's a very smooth ,thoughtful movie but without any loud mouthing and chest thumping. Which may be we are not used to watching, but it tells the story as it happened and as should be told. Many moments in this movie will make u think , how come this is happening and are all the people foolish doing such things in Pakistan. But then we have to remember that this is era of 1971 where communication was luxury and general people could talk to others via standing in que for hours together for 5 mins of voice of the loved ones that too as some telephone exchange only to be found in metro cities. As someone who is in their 60s or 70s to know how tough was it. After a birth or death, the Info reached after most formalities had been completed.

Really, if u don't watch this movie, you will miss a super proud and fun movie. I wish more such stories are told and in such a beautiful manner.

I give this movie 10/10.
