Sonu Sood is a star who made headlines in the Hindi and South film industries with his versatile acting. He opened this year with his directorial debut, Fateh, an action drama packed with high-octane sequences. Though it was one of Sonu Sood’s highly anticipated movies, and the actor made sure not to leave any stone unturned for its promotion, the movie could not live up to the hype.

If we talk about the review of the movie, then ETimes gave 3.5 stars to the action drama. Our review reads – “Sonu Sood’s directorial debut delves deep into the pervasive threat of cybercrime, a modern plague wreaking havoc in India. With mobile phones doubling as vulnerabilities, the film explores how greed and desperation make people easy targets for malicious digital predators. The narrative begins with Fateh’s quiet life in rural Punjab but quickly takes a dramatic turn when a harrowing incident sets him on a mission to dismantle a cyber crime mafia. The film dives into action from the start, taking viewers on a gritty, blood-soaked journey. While the fast pace keeps the audience engaged, the backstory of the lead characters lacks the depth needed to forge a strong emotional connection, making the writing feel somewhat shallow and exaggerated at times.”
Also, it is worth noting that the movie also faces tough competition from Ram Charan and Kiara Advani starrer ‘
