"Desh
ke
liye,
jaan
de
bhi
sakte
hain
aur
le
bhi
sakte
hain,"
quips
Prabhat
(Arjun
Kapoor)
establishing
that
he
wears
patriotism
on
his
sleeve.
The
man
along
with
his
five-member-team
are
on
a
mission
to
capture
India's
most
wanted
terrorists
minus
any
arms
and
ammunition.
Sounds
an
interesting
plot,
doesn't
it?
Well,
it
does
hook
you,
but
sadly,
only
in
parts
and
pieces.
Inspired
by
true-life
events,
the
lead
Arjun
Kapoor
(Prabhat)
plays
a
brave
intelligence
officer
from
Patna
who
volunteers
to
capture
one
of
India's
most
wanted
terrorists
who
is
suspected
to
the
perpetuator
of
a
series
of
serial
blasts
across
the
country.
With
tip-off
from
a
unverified
source
from
Nepal,
Prabhat
and
his
team
set
out
on
a
self-funded
mission
across
the
border
posing
as
tourists
to
nab
the
deadly
man.
Will
they
succeed?
The
rest
of
the
plot
revolves
around
that.
Coming
from
the
stable
of
Raj
Kumar
Gupta
who
is
known
for
helming
films
like
Aamir,
No
One
Killed
Jessica,
hopes
and
anticipation
were
riding
high
on
India's
Most
Wanted.
However,
the
film
just
has
a
glint
of
spark
that
doesn't
last
long.
The
writing
is
weak
and
the
slow
pace
adds
more
to
woes.
Gupta's
direction
too
lacks
the
sharpness.
Despite
the
film
riding
on
patriotic
sentiments,
it
hardly
gives
you
any
goosebump
inducing
moments.
Coming
to
the
performances,
we
would
like
to
ask
Arjun
Kapoor,
'Why
so
serious?' His
interpretation
of
an
intelligence
officer
is
that
of
giving
intense
stares
and
his
underplaying
the
role
is
no
good
news
either.
Rajesh
Sharma
does
justice
to
whatever
has
been
offered
to
him.
The
rest
of
the
cast
doesn't
get
anything
memorable
to
perform.
Barring
a
few,
none
of
the
dialogues
leave
a
lasting
impression.
The
covert
operation
in
the
film
too
falters
when
it
comes
to
keeping
your
eyes
glued
to
the
screen.
Dudley's
cinematography
goes
well
with
the
film.
Bodhaditya
Banerjee's
editing
needed
to
be
fine-tuned.
Amit
Trivedi's
music
is
forgettable.
The
makers
of
India's
Most
Wanted
had
a
compelling
subject
with
them.
Unfortunately
Raj
Kumar
Gupta's
direction
and
writing
fails
to
do
justice
to
it
and
leaves
you
dry
and
disappointed
instead.
