Fateh(2025) Review

This movie portrays a bit of the abnormality that modern-day loan app companies subject people to. That feature alone piqued my interest and made me continue watching the movie when I started.

Fateh is a 2025 Indian movie centered on cybercrime and is an action-packed thriller as well. In a small community where Fateh, a retired special killer, resides and works on a farm, the community gets overtaken by cybercrime through online loans. The loan companies operate entirely online, giving out loans but eventually taking the lives of their customers afterwards. How do they do that? It starts with unbearable pressure from constant calls and threats when the loan is due. To make it worse, they capture some of the customers and execute them on live television in a “fun” and brutal way via electric shocks. These televised killings entertain viewers, increase the company’s audience, and earn them a lot of money in the process.

Things get unbearable when Nimrat, one of the loan agents in the community, is kidnapped and about to be executed. She happens to be someone Fateh knows very well, and he cannot bear the thought of losing her. That moment forces him to take back the part of his life he had left behind — yes, the killer inside him. He travels down to the city to hunt down the company and all their accomplices.

The hunt is very entertaining, especially with Fateh’s intelligence and his ruthless, no-mercy killing style. No lies about that! But for me, I have to say this — for a movie released in this modern era (2025), the gunfighting scenes were poorly executed. What do I mean? Yes, Fateh has great shooting skills, but there are some scenes that appear unrealistically “magical” — where he kills numerous opponents without any of them managing to shoot at him. How??? It feels very unrelatable and breaks the realism.

These scenes, though somewhat entertaining, were a major turn-off for me.

The cinematography, however, is excellent. The slow-motion effects and the splash of blood make the visuals very eye-catching. Of course, Bollywood has always been good with such effects.

The characters, though I am not very fond of them, played their parts well. Sonu Sood, who played Fateh, was perfect for the role because of his quiet and reserved nature. You know, sensitive people usually do not talk much — they observe more, and that fits the character perfectly.

Overall, I would rate it 6/10.
