Inspired from the 1969 film by the same name, 'Ittefaq' is a decent whodunit mystery-thriller, that succeeds in keeping your interest alive, despite its shortcomings. And Ace Actor Akshaye Khanna entertains all through.
'Ittefaq' Synopsis: A detective seeks out the truth between two different stories of a crime scene.
'Ittefaq', like most thrillers, delivers a dozen of puzzling suspense, but never at the expense of overdoing it. Its a decent mystery, the unravels nicely. Of course, the film isn't perfect, as a particular sub-plot in the film's second-hour, lacks the bite. Nonetheless, there is not much to complain here!
Abhay Chopra, Shreyas Jain & Nikhil Mehrotra's Writing is decently done, with a good culmination. The identity of the culprit, is interestingly reveled. Abhay Chopra's Direction is good. Cinematography & Editing add to the film's strength.
Performance-Wise: Akshaye Khanna is the scene-stealer. He entertains as the detective on a mission. Sidharth Malhotra does an impressive job. This is among his better works. Sonakshi Sinha is restrained this time & that works on her advantage. Pavail Gulati is perfect. Others lend excellent support.
On the whole, 'Ittefaq' is a decent watch.
