Torbaaz Movie Review: Script Analysis

Girish Malik’s story is heartfelt and sends an excellent message about world peace. However, a good story is nothing if it doesn’t engage the audience. The screenplay of the story hardly grips you because even the most emotional scenes fail to move you.

Sure, there are some moments which have an impact but not the kind that was desired. It’s an OTT release and the viewers always have an option to skip watching. As unfortunate as it sounds, the people won’t think twice before leaving the film midway because it starts boring you pretty soon. Even those who will continue watching to see what happens at the end will be disappointed. Because not just the ending is predictable, it’s also ordinary. The only scene which stands out is the one where Nasser goes to meet Qazar (Rahul Dev) and negotiates with him. It’s simply amazing and something which the viewers in India might not have seen ever before.

Torbaaz Movie Review: Star Performance

Sanjay Dutt has a charisma of his own and it carries the ability to hold you even in the dullest of moments. Nargis Fakhri has a pretty short role and hardly leaves an impact in it. But it is Rahul Dev who impresses you again in the role of Taliban chief. The talented actor has played a terrorist and negative role several times so it’s his comfort zone now. Hence it was no surprise to see him nailing the character so effortlessly.

Child actors Aishan Jawaid Malik, Hamid Shafi, Mohammed Khairkhah, Rudra Soni are fantastic and are the highlight of the film.
