But why should your religion matter so much
beevenkat14 February 2022
U are an engineer from IIT, leading a peaceful existence in Chennai. U frequently attend job interviews, yet u find it tough to secure gainful employment. Wherever u go, u are hounded by the same question: are u religious? But why should your religion matter so much? Why should u always be viewed with suspicion? The answer is obvious. Its all because your name is "Irfan Ahmed". Tamil movie #FIR is a decent thriller, with good performances by Vishnu Vishal, Manjima Mohan and Raiza Wilson. Running time should be reduced by 15 minutes. Rating 3/5.

Stupid 2nd half makes us fools
wipoyah13 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Everything went really good till the hospital scene. After that the story changed its path to unrealistic typical mediocre ending with stupid suspense and twists.

So basically this movie is about an innocent chemical engineer living an ordinary life with his stressed mother got framed as a terrorist suspect by intelligence agency and got tortured by them. He escaped to visit his dying mother in hospital.

After this situation if he goes after what really happened and why he got framed (or) if he goes after justice (or) if he gets ready for a revenge, then it will be a very good story and interesting. But what really happened is some unnecessary twists & turns and worst unrealistic climax.

In one scene, A foolish intelligence officer orders to deploy a drone loaded with missile straight into chemical factory ignoring the environmental pollution. Then our invincible hero survived that blast by jumping from a tower during explosion.

All the emotions that built up till the hospital scene got vanished after watching the climax twist. It made me a fool sitting for 2.5 hours.

A good story with great potential got spoiled by bad script that took place in 2nd half.

good one but doubtful
saru202027 February 2022
The screenplay of what happens when an innocent's life is destroyed for no reason does strike well and it definitely would make someone emotional cry in some of those scenes as well.

For some reason, the cinematography looked awful and the music didn't work at all.

The GVM play was neat & good just like a top-notch security guy of the country, well written and executed as well.

The surprise element in the climax was really good and really came as a surprise w/o a guess and the final message of the film about how it is not about religion but about the people involved in it was spot-on. But, I doubt it, since the makers of this film are torch-light bearers for the religion and their whole game plan is to support that religion as their livelihoods and business & political ventures depend on it.

Recently, there have been many films coming up targeting the same religion for whatsoever reason, this film being one of them gives a sense of feeling that becomes a drawback for the film, no matter how good it may be.

Good directorial debut for Manu Anand
maruthuk-2147013 March 2022
Storyline and screenplay of the movie is different and interesting and keeps the audience glued except for the last 30 minutes, which was very vague and too predictable, that period could have been better handled.

One question that keeps popping out throughout the movie is, why would religion matter in all the interviews that protagonist is attending, probably a better logical reason could have been given.

Acting and facial expressions of Vishnu Vishal & Gautam Menon are too good and they both steal the entire show.

Another great aspect of the movie is its Cinematography and some frames make the audience feel 'Wow'. One can also learn how not to come to conclusions about people just by looking at their name, complexion and other obvious things.

Higher expectations but slightly disappointed
dexternights14 March 2022
There were twists and turns. But had higher expectations on the storyline with Vishnu Vishal and Gautam in key roles. Later half the story felt flat and didn't leave a good taste.

Decent movie but could have been far far better as the script had the potential in it
msivakumar-7506119 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Hi team, film concept, acting all are super fine. Liked the way the film picks up the pace!! Happy for the whole team, it has come our decent..!! Timing, visuals, religious thing of Muslims all these touched my heart so well.

Flaws : Major issue is the scene (in villain home) when father and son discuss in house about the son trip to foreign. Father gets phone call and he changes the statement against hero, that he should not reveal our plan. Then later on in chemical factory he is saying that what I'd happening in factory is bad. I feel director is fully confused to show him as a villain or common man.

Again the who goes to Syria says he changed his name because he couldn't live as Hindu is not convincing. Not happy with the way script handled there.

The stunt scenes could have been taken much better, The film had good stunts.

Chasing of police against vishnu ji should have been much faster!!

Somewhere I felt this script had great potential to give more like Ractasan.

The last of killing the hero was unnecessary!! When a guy from NIA enters such mission he should be shown as a calculative give.

The building is going to be destroyed and still he staying back there and I don't know how far people are standing from the bomb it should have been shown properly!!

I feel there should be critic guy with whom the script and screenplay has to be discussed to bring the best of best from films!!

Felt cheated because of climax ...
m-ramanan14 March 2022
RATED 8/10 Language: Tamil Source: Amazon Prime RECOMMENDED

Superb first half and its very racy. The second half is so diluted with sentiment and confused climax. The climax twist will be so good for mass masala movies, but for this serious movie not at all suit. I felt like fooled in the climax... After climax all the fist half scenes and mother sentiments looks meaningless.... But the director should be appreciated for keeping the audience hooked till the end of the movie.... Worth the watch.

A one-time watchable flick
chiranjeevi-4373518 February 2022
Vishal has done a good job. His portrayal of a Muslim youngster convinces. The first half, some may get disappointed as I felt ans the second has the reason for that 1st half loosely knit storyline. Only after watching the reasons behind, the movie felt great. Good story and the 2nd half has the gist of the story. Definitely not a theater thriller; recommending u to watch in ott.

Disappointing
jishboy17 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Alot of irrelevant stuff such as vishnu vishal having a flashback to a love scene. It had a strong message but was very draggy and it was a struggle to even complete the movie. The story is average and there is nothing special about the movie.

Couziambatman13 March 2022
Well acted and written movie with not so bad making backing it up. Makes you guess and at the same time you will know what the end twist will be. Enjoyed the film and would recommend it for a solid one time watch .

Poorly taken template movie!
ravikumarchandran19 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It is rare that a movie 'reveals' the main villain in the penultimate scene and worse, the heroine in climax!

To the directors credit, the movie was well taken mostly. The huge holes in the plot makes us lose the interest in the movie midway and the last minute twists do not help anyway!

I am so surprised that this is produced by Vishnu Vishal. The climax was lifted right out of Family Man Season I which was taken so well!

Good acting by Vishnu Vishal alone could not salvage the movie!

Not a disappointing movie
chocolatesandeclairs15 March 2022
Secret agents of NIA may have been working as Irfaan to stop terrorism. We can't measure the patriotism of a citizen by looking his religion. This story will completely digest if you think about why he has ready to sacrifice his life.

Not all we see in News are true
kmsdeen17 February 2022
Movie has a strong message, that is, it's easy for those in power to trick media and propagate malicious falsehood.

The movie has a good story and plot. Movie portrays how discrimination and religious profiling destroys hopes. Movie team did a good job on building up suspense, emotional scenes and watchable fight scenes. Many dialogues were punchy. Female roles had powerful presence.

Execution or screenplay could have been better. Too many characters in the movie. First half is laggy.

We really need concepts like this. Overall this movie is worth watching.

Good thriller!
nassir_y26 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It's a watchable thriller. I am not going to write anything more except SPOILER AHEAD

the ending was unnecessary. The factory should not have been bombed. After all the gas was turned off in time. The drones should have been brought back. The hero should be seen coming out alive and reunited with his girlfriend. Perhaps a caption at this time to say that FIR was recruited from India's elite forces and now he will return to his unit and will go on defending India against all enemies both inside and outside. Film goers don't like to see the hero die!

Poor screenplay and editing
sriramthestranger14 May 2022
The movie looks like Shikari Shambu comics with nothing believable. The screenplay lags and editing is slow. The writing is old fashioned. There is no strong theme and last part looks plain rip of family man. Not recommended!!

A well made flick,which could have been a bit better
tehanaeron21 February 2022
Fir, A well made movie with good writing I don't get why some people are just bashing the movie all around. Like guys its a movie ! I went in with zero expectations and came out surprisingly happy with the movie. And the the fight/action sequences are well choreograhed but the fight scenes could have been shot better. And I also saw a review where a person is giving a low rating just for a quote supposedly put below the actor in the poster stating that the actor is superior to that quote, y'all just voting the movie very badly cause of the smallest stuff. Overall, the movie is a nice action flick worth your while and your money. Dont listen to these negative reviews and just go have a good time watching the movie ! Have fun y'all !

Climax is too much to Digest
joppanLive21 March 2022
We all know nowadays movies comes with a climax twist. Some are great whereas some ridicule the viewers. For me, this movie belongs to the second category. The climax twist is little too much to digest and it spoiled the overall buildup of the movie.

In a Confused state.
sunadkiran13 March 2022
This movie is really good. Every actor has done his/her part perfectly. But since it was trying to bring out the unjustice to muslims and shown in such a way, so as everyone thinks that this is the actual situation of all Muslims.

This was wrong

One thing that came to my mind is that communal tensions after this film.

But if you keep that religion and community aside, it's a fentastic movie.

Much needed movie for the world!
vishvakrofficial19 March 2022
Love how the movie conveys a social message and is still engaging and brilliant at the same time! The ensemble cast is so well picked and all of them do justice to their roles. This is Vishnu Vishal's much needed comeback.
