Hyderabad: Bollywood actor Sonu Sood has taken on a new challenge with Fateh. The film marks his debut in direction and hit the theatres on Friday, coinciding with the release of Ram Charan starrer Game Changer. The action-packed entertainer opened to mostly glorious response with fans appreciating the action sequences and the film's theme revolving around cybercrime.
The film revolves around the problem of online scams inspired by real-life incidents that peaked during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is both helmed and written by Sood featuring a star-studded cast, which includes Jacqueline Fernandez, Vijay Raaz, and Naseeruddin Shah as well. It promises an engaging storyline with promising performances.
But does it live up to the expectations? Here is a closer look at the reviews of Fateh so far.
While many appreciated the adrenaline-pumping action scenes, some find the pacing to be a bit slow in parts. Taking to X, a social media user wrote: "The story is a bit slow, and despite trying hard to evoke emotions, it hasn't quite landed yet. The action scenes are decent so far, but I'm hoping the second half delivers more."
