Sonu Soods's Directorial debut Fateh is a blood-soaked take dealing with Cybercrime, but does everything else than tackle the issue failing to create awareness on how to avoid the cybercrime rackets.

Fateh (Sonu Sood) a humble man of Moga Punjab, is on a mission to save a village girl trapped in a cyber crime racket and begins his journey of ruthless killing.

The film begins with Fateh's simple rural life, while he works in a dairy farm. His life completely changed after a suicide incident of a farmer who was being blackmailed by an untraceable cyber loan company. The incident sets Fateh on a mission to remove the root cause of the cybercrime mafia, while he travels from Delhi to Dubai. Then begins the action sequences without much of a backstory of characters and sequences while Fateh is on his hitting spree, which lacks depth in script writing.



Rather than giving an overview of cybercrime and taking the law in hand, the filmmakers could have dealt with a little maturity to provide awareness to the audiences. The film had so much scope to tell how to avoid digital crime circumstances since prevention is better than cure. What are precautions that one needs to adhere to before becoming susceptible to cybercrime rackets, remain unanswered.

On the other hand, the film resorts to brutal scrutiny of the crime mafia's escalating violence by drilling the screws in their bodies to cutting throats brutally in the real sense, which kinds of immunises society towards raw crime ideas, which seems inspired by films like Animal and  Hollywood films like Kill Bill.



The film certainly has a brilliant cast with Naseeruddin Shah and Vijay Raaz who nail their roles in spite of little screen time. Jacqueline Fernandez justifies her character as an ethical hacker and Sonu Sood looks befitting as an undercover agent in the fight sequences. The background score by Eduri and Hans Zimmer does enhance the darker vibe of the film.

The film has a great theme bringing to light the modern plague of digital crime, but, the entire bloodshed doesn't justify the theme, as a solution to the problem!
