Setters (2019)
5/10
Solid writing would have saved the film BUT fails.

The film follows the cat and mouse game between friends-turned-enemy.

Cop Aditya (Aftab Shivdasani) and a 'setter' Apurva (Shreyas Talpade), who heads exam leaking activities in north India.

Director Ashwini Chaudhary focusses on the cop and criminal chase more than the scams that occur in our educational system.

The film hopes to recreate the tension you witnessed in films like Special 26 or Baby. Unfortunately, it fails.

Shot across Jaipur, Varanasi and Delhi, Setters captures the smells and sounds of our cities and towns well. But What doesn't work is the film's inability to evoke tension.

A thriller tht falls flat and thus feels never ending.

Solid writing would have saved the film that has potential to be gripping....but fails.
