Visfot” Riteish Deshmukh-Fardeen Khan starrer High-Octane Thriller
Visfot, “explosion” in Hindi, ensures an eruption of events in the lives of its characters that begins as a routine day and quickly escalates into chaos.
The Kookie Gulati directorial written by Abbas and Hussain Dalal is a thriller, fast-paced, anxiety-riddled ride through the grimy streets of Mumbai. In many ways, the film zips through its narrative with such energy that you might just feel the wind in your hair—or at least the whistle of an impending cinematic detonation.
Shoeb Khan (Fardeen Khan) is a taxi driver who has returned from Australia to care for his ailing mother. She is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Intent on living a clean, honest life, Shoeb settles back into his old Dongri neighbourhood, hoping for a fresh start with his girlfriend Lucky (Krystle D’Souza). Of course, in a city like Mumbai—and in a film titled Visfot—fresh starts are as elusive as peace and quiet. Shoeb’s childhood friend, Manya (Nachiket Purnapatre), drops a drug stash into his lap, a ticking time bomb that goes missing. Cue the panic.
On the other side of town, is Captain Akash Shelar (Riteish Deshmukh), the epitome of the “perfect father” trope, juggling family life with his career. But when Akash discovers his wife Tara (Priya Bapat) is having an affair with Javed (Arjun Aneja), his meticulously managed life collapses. In a fit of misplaced trust, Akash leaves his son Parth (Prithviraj Sarnaik) in Lucky’s care, unknowingly setting off a chain of events that will embroil everyone—Akash, Shoeb, Lucky, and a formidable drug lord, Acid Tai (Seema Biswas)—in a web of crime, betrayal, and, naturally, explosions.
The film is Streaming in JioCinema.
