Hi guys, I hope our day is going smoothly. All work and no play makes Jack, a dull boy, they say. As usual I saw a very interesting movie after work yesterday and I have come to share my review with you. It is no other movie than "Fateh". Yes, Fateh!
The movie is titled after a lead character, Fateh in the movie. Fateh was that street brother we all needed. I got so captivated by the movie that I had to go and look for the meaning of the Indian-Arabic name, Fateh, and it means a "Conqueror or Victor". Of course, 'Fateh' is an Indian movie produced in 2025.
Fateh and the other main character in the movie, Nimrat were born in the same village in Punjab. Nimrat is a young hardworking lady who has a small shop, she manages to earn a living. Aside from the small shop she owns, Nimrat is also a loan app agent, a position she assumes after collecting a loan from the digital app.
Through Nimrat, many people downloaded the app and got loans from it. The digital app however becomes a device to scam people, especially the middle class and the poor in the village as it is obtainable in our world today.
This really affirms the saying, that a movie or any other work of art is a reflection of the society.The movie highly mirrors all vices and cybercrime that have eaten deep in our world today. People started getting debited on their account unduly. Many of them rush to Nimrat who serves as the agent but Nimrat herself is a powerless victim of the same digital app. Before she could know it, some of the victims of this App that got introduced by her started committing suicide. Nimrat could not stand watching the villagers dying, so she decided to go and search for the people in charge of the loan App. It wasn't as easy as she thought. Nimrat was missing, she was kidnapped on her way to Delhi City by the Mafia that owned the loan app.
Nimrat is the only child of her mother, and when she couldn't be found in time, Fateh offered to help look for her. Fateh left their village, retrieved and contacted all the phone numbers Nimrat called last before her missing. Fortunately, he was able to locate Nimrat's friend, an ethical hacker, who had been trying to help Nimrat, bring down the loan App and the Mafia behind it, before her disappearance.
However, this Mafia appeared insurmountable. They are so deadly in their operation that they kill anyone that wants to oppose them in a cruel manner. In fact, Nimrat's friend, Khushi Sharma was not the only ethical hacker trying to bring down the Mafia, but four out of them were killed by the Mafia.
Electrocution was their main method of killing and they used to broadcast it live. They gave the people two options either to view the killing and they executed once viewers reached 2 million, or people don't view the killing. Humans however wouldn't cease to be human. As simple as these options looked, millions of people still streamed videos, especially that of Nimrat that was actually there, abducted because she wanted to bring the Mafia down. This greatly teaches us to first save our skin.
In our world today, a lot happens to the activists while fighting for the masses but the masses sometimes end up saying, the activists are overstepping their bounds.
Fateh together with the ethical hacker, Khushi Sharma went in pursuit of the criminal group. Though it was tough, Fateh ended up killing them one by one, giving the kind of person he was. Fateh was more than a dairy farmer in the village. He was once a government secret agent in the city. He was a trained agent used by the government against their opposition in foreign countries. So, Fateh was vast in almost all: technology, diplomacy, defence and all.
Hence, it is not bad to say, Fateh and Khushi Sharma represent Modern technology for advancement while Chhada and the other Mafia group represent technology for destruction. They used technology to carry out all forms of vices such as fraud, blackmailing, trafficking and killing. They invested banks' software with viruses and diverted all the customers' money to their accounts. What could be worse, leaving thousands of people queuing to complain at banks. Many even died in the process as it was seen all around us in the communities.
The worst of it was that the government is always slack to resolve this kind of problem. In the movie, the police, especially Vishwas, was even aware of the matter. They knew the criminals, but could not do anything to them, for the reason best known to them. Some government officials even used to wine and dine with this mafia in their hidden place, but pretend and watch the masses suffer from their hand. This really mirrors what sometimes happens with terrorism in nations. You will see a particular group terrorizing a whole nation for decades, yet no permanent solution. In another place, people will be complaining of herdsmen alongside their cattle trespassing into their farms, and these herdsmen will still kill any farmer that challenges them. Indeed, nothing serious could be done by them. Most times, these people in power are still the same people that buy and keep cattle with the herdsmen to rear for them. So, they can't make laws against their own workers. Corruption has eaten so deep from the top, that it will need thorough cleaning and a change of hearts.
Above all the collaboration and team work displayed in the movie towards bringing down the mafia and shutting down their operation was excellent. War against terrorism is not an lonely struggle but we must all come together against them. In the movie Fateh was greatly helped by Khushi Sharma and that make them to succeed. Also, the two of them fell in love at the end of the movie,
infact, the last scene of the movie. They were so focused that they didn't allow affection to
hinder them. They didn't mix work with affection, a very good quality that should be highly emulated.
Their focuse really paid off after all. Unfortunately, the movie ended on a tragically, though they were able to kill the criminal, they were unable to rescue Nimrat., as she was electrocuted like others.
Rating
I rate the movie 8/10
