Review of Ittefaq

Crucial plot in this film is, finding the location of a person in a certain time duration. Investigating officer does everything rather than locating or even trying to find his mobile or its location. Now a days, every investigation starts with mobile call details and location. Even Police officer and other person use Smartphone. The way Police officer investigate that strongly reminds thriller of old times. Crime place is a posh apartment but no CCTC is there even investigation officer never mention to find any other CCTV located in near by places. There is no security system installed in flat even no any eye piece fitted, see how conveniently this thriller is remade. In pre climax, Police officer kept his mobile phone engaged in conversation with a person, whom he wanted to stop, boarding in flight. I was amused why he didn't try to call airport authority or any concerned senior officer for the same rather he preferred to chase by runing, here and there like he was going to stop a bus!! All Police team, main investigation officer, Inspector and even constable have a different type of humor like throwing tissue paper in toilet. It has been shown so filthy that finding tissue paper was not appropriate but scene has been conceived so it has to be executed anyhow. In a thriller such type of deliberate humor is unbearable. Flickering tube light in Police lock up and try to make fool of audience by showing that accused can attack with this to constable!!! with a tube light! Utterly rubbish. A lady called, Police officer, to giving some information, when Police team arrived there, she was fully dressed up with entire family and relatives, assuming some interview will be done of her. Again over the note crap comedy. As husband of that lady, (actor Bharat Jha) did well in his brief role. Performance wise Akshay Khanna as Investigating officer Dev, is first rate. Others are just OK.
