Faruk Kabir’s tale is rather attention-grabbing and have compatibility for a business movie. The primary 30-35 mins may remind certainly one of BAAGHI three [2020] which additionally handled the protagonist’s shut circle of relatives member disappearing in a middle-eastern nation. Additionally, BAAGHI three additionally presentations the protagonist learning about his brother’s disappearance whilst he used to be on a choice with him! Fortunately, as soon as Sameer reaches Noman, the movie doesn’t even appear remotely very similar to the Tiger Shroff starrer. Faruk Kabir’s screenplay is attractive. The movie strikes at a super tempo and the focal point is at the idea plot from begin to end. However there are occasions when the movie strikes too rapid and therefore, one may now not get emotionally hooked up to sure characters. Faruk Kabir’s dialogues are first rate.

Vidyut Jammwal: “UNLEARNING used to be probably the most AMAZING studying procedure in Khuda Haafiz”| Shivaleeka Oberoi | Faruk Kabir

Faruk Kabir’s path is rather just right. At the certain facet, the movie is rather fast moving. There are some nice dramatic and motion moments that maintain passion. Additionally, the director merits reward as he doesn’t make the movie seems to be sleazy even if it offers with trafficking and intercourse industry. Additionally, no merchandise track is added for the heck of it. At the flipside, the movie has its proportion of cinematic liberties. The style by which Sameer manages to flee from the brothel or even from the airport raises eyebrows. Sameer’s very ultimate combat may have been higher considered. Finally, the courtship length of Sameer and Nargis is proven too briefly and in all probability just a little extra time may have been taken to discover their courting for a greater have an effect on.

KHUDA HAAFIZ starts on an intriguing be aware. Sameer is already captured by way of the law enforcement officials on overseas soil after which the movie is going on a flashback mode as he narrates his story to the Indian Embassy authentic. No longer a lot time is spent in appearing how love blossomed between Sameer and Nargis and their eventual marriage. The director quickly involves the purpose the place Nargis leaves for Noman and the way she disappears. Sameer achieving Noman and looking to find his lacking spouse assists in keeping the passion going. The most productive a part of the primary part clearly is when Sameer is going on a rampage within the brothel in Baith Us Saif after which has a dramatic get away. The access of Faiz Abu Malik (Shiv Panditt) and Tamena Hamid (Aahana Kumra) upload to the insanity. The movie additionally slips in the midst of the second one hour. However it selections up within the ultimate act as soon as Sameer reaches where of Itzak Regini (Nawab Shah). From right here until the finale, the movie assists in keeping one on the fringe of the seat.

Vidyut Jammwal performs a commonplace guy right here and does his proportion of motion. Efficiency-wise, he’s first rate and shines in some emotional scenes. Unfortunately, in a few puts, he is going just a little excessive. Shivaleeka Oberoi doesn’t get a lot scope however is ok and has a just right display screen presence. Annu Kapoor is superb and rather endearing. Shiv Panditt leaves a mark along with his efficiency and accessory, regardless of his overdue access. Similar is going for Aahana Kumra. Ikhlaque Khan is satisfactory. Nawab Shah performs the villainous position effectively. Vipin Sharma is unswerving as all the time. Gowhar Khan, Shahnawaz Pradhan (Sameer’s father), Gargi Patel (Sameer’s mom), Mohit Chauhan (Nargis’s father), Suparna Marwah (Nargis’s mom), Rio Kapadia (ISA Commissioner Ali Azam Ghazi), Tamara Mirmahsudova (Usman’s spouse) and Kinal Muchhala (Sonia Singh; worker at Indian embassy) are superb.

Mithoon’s track is not anything nice. The movie doesn’t have the scope for track. The identify track stands proud just a little on account of the Arabic really feel whilst ‘Aakhri Kadam Tak’ registers just a little on account of the placement by which it’s performed. ‘Jaan Ban Gaye’ and ‘Mera Intezaar Karna’ are forgettable. Amar Mohile’s background rating is rather higher and exhilarating. Jitan Harmeet Singh’s cinematography is impressive and the more than a few locales of Uzbekistan are effectively captured. Bijon Das Gupta, Ranjit Singh and Prerna Kathuria’s manufacturing design are original. Divvya Gambhur and Nidhhi Gambhir’s costumes are interesting and in sync with the nature’s ethnicity. Ivanov Victor and Andreas Nguyen’s motion could be very violent and gory. It’s indisputably now not for the faint-hearted. NY VFXWaala’s VFX is honest. Sandeep Francis’s modifying is fast.

At the entire, KHUDA HAAFIZ is a well-paced motion mystery that works mainly because of the script, path and performances of Vidyut Jammwal and Annu Kapoor.
