D Day (2013) Movie Review – Hit or Flop

Rating: 4/5 stars (Four Stars)

Star cast: Irrfan Khan, Rishi Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Huma Qureshi, Shruti Haasan

Director: Nikhil Advani

What’s Good: Without an ounce of jingoism, the film’s plain, non-judgmental storytelling with a thought provoking narrative is ace. Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan Khan put up a marvellous show!

What’s Bad: The editing in the film’s latter half could have been tauter.

Loo break: None at all.

Watch or Not?: Nikhil Advani’s D-Day traces a labyrinthine story of India’s unsung war heroes. With its chilling action scenes and thrilling emotional quotient, D-Day is perhaps one of recent times’ most rivetingly told stories. With Bollywood celebrating Dawood mostly, here’s a filmmaker who has made a daunting movie which effortlessly gives the character its correct hue.

Story:


 

The nabbing operation of India’s most wanted man that is carried out by four undercover agents, all of them come with their own personal baggage! Nabi Ali, stationed in Pakistan for years has already set up for himself emotional attachments. Rudra Pratap Singh, a formed Armed Force’ officer is exactly the opposite and prefers being detached. Zoya dumps her familial happiness and chooses her patriotism over it. And Aslam who serves as the spy in the Don’s ‘kafila’ joins hands in an impossible mission. On the eve of of his son’s wedding, the mission that will result in the downfall of this notorious don is to be executed. How brilliantly the climax is tied up with its shockers and teary jerks are what make D-Day so unparalleled.

 

D Day Movie Review


 

The script of this gritty thriller is based on the lines of Zero Dark Thirty, naturally sketching it on an Indianized canvas; the film is 2 hours plus of sheer edge-of-your-seat thrill. For most part, the story sticks to being purely artistic even as its revels in nail biting action. Emotionally wrenching and ripping, the story of D-Day follows the lives of 4 war heroes who are on a mission ala ‘The Charge of The Light Brigade’. Advani absorbs us easily into his story as he uses the tool of terrifying realism and paints the terrifying picture of atrocities that we have incurred in the name of terrorism. To begin with, it is the extraordinary script that entraps you in the nuances of its dramatic folds.

An undercover agent who must give up the warmth of his wife and the love of his son is caught in between his duty call and his family! It is a tribute to the story writers that the audiences don’t find a single sag in the film’s tapestry. The film’s climax is 15 minutes of spectacular adrenaline rush as all the pieces of the film finally blends into one. There are its share of clichés in each character as you almost know what they are like, but the wonderful choice of actors render to their roles both beauty and believability. The film exudes immense confidence in its mannerism of telling the story that makes its fabric so brilliantly suspenseful.
