“Khufiya” isn’t a deconstruction of the spy thriller, but it does blatantly re-orient viewers to what’s often missing or downplayed in stories about spies.

We needed more Tabu in this film. We needed more of the older Vishal Bhardwaj who used to make things sing.

Vishal Bhardwaj maintains control on a complex, sprawling story of men, women and nations pitted against each other and themselves.

3/5

A commendable attempt in the genre of espionage with a gripping hook and fierce female leads that carry the entire film on their shoulders. But Khufiya struggles to maintain interest due to its lengthy runtime and overall waywardness.

On paper, Khufiya has nearly everything going for it but onscreen, the clunky screenplay leaves the lacking on several fronts. Over its bloated 158 runtime, the film never manages to match the promise.

The show stopper of the film is Azmeri Haque Badhon. Her performance is brilliant and with her effortless charm, she lights up the film to such an extent that she overshadows the performance of Tabu, when both the actors are on the same screen.

I'm rating this a 5 cuz I see others unnecessarily penalizing an amazing movie. It's brilliant and a must watch. Otherwise the movie is a 4

This one is all over the place. There is no suspense to the espionage portion, and no connection between the characters throughout the film. And of course, music and song break out at the strangest of momewnts, adding a dose of laughability to the whole effort.

Despite having a runtime of nearly 160 minutes, Vishal Bharadwaj's Tabu starrer Khufiya kicks off as a strong and engaging spy thriller all the way towards the interval, but falls flat right after that and fails to live up to the premise's promise.

'Khufiya' is a gripping espionage thriller bolstered by its remarkable performances and direction.

Tabu and Wamika are great in this movie. It exposes all that goes behind the scenes superbly! Ali Faizal has also done well. Must not miss!
