Review By Kapil Siddharth
'Forensic' directed by Vishal Furia, produced by Deepak Mukut, Varun Bagla and Mansi Bagla, is streaming on Zee5. It is an adaptation of Malayalam film 'Forensic' released in 2020.
The film is set in Mussorie. Little girls are getting murdered on their birthdays. Police Officer Megha (Radhika Apte) tries to solve the mystery with Forensic expert Johny (Vikrant Massey). Both of them were in a relationship. Megha's niece Aanya (Harbandana Kaur) lives with her and Megha doesnt allow her father Abhay (Rohit Bose Roy) to meet Aanya as she thinks that Abhay is responsible for the death of another daughter Aadya and wife Divya (Zeba Sherrif) . Abhay is Johny's elder brother. Aanya visits Dr. Ranjana (Prachi Desai) for counseling sessions. Meanwhile Aanya also goes missing. Where is Aanya ? Who is killing little girls ? What is the motive of the killer ? Will Megha and Johny catch the culprit ? The climax answers all these questions.
Vishal Furia's direction is neat. Though the film is an adaptation, there are a lot of differences between the two films. The writing by Mansi Bagla, Adhir Bhatt, Ajit Shashikant Jagtap and Vishal Kapoor has its moments and the writers have made many changes in the original script. The writing is engaging enough. The detailing of forensic and how the department works to solve a mystery is a novelty for Hindi cinema. Also the twist in the climax may seem over the top yet comes as a surprise.
Vikrant Massey is noteworthy. Radhika Apte is competent. Prachi Desai is appealing. Rohit Bose Roy is acceptable. Vindu Dara Singh, Subrata Dutta, Anant Mahadevan, Harbandana Kaur, Narendra Gupta and Jatin Siyal are passable.
Anshul Chobey's cinematography is admirable. Adrija Gupta's music is mediocre. The songs are not placed well and seem forced. Abhijeet Deshpande's editing could have been sharper. Jitendra Mhatre's makeup needed to be much better at certain places. In a nutshell 'Forensic' may not be an exceptional film like the original but it is watchable due to decent performances, interesting plot and the shocking twist.
