​"Code name Tiranga (कोड नेम तिरंगा)"

Watched Hindi movie "Code name Tiranga (कोड नेम तिरंगा)". 

Direction: Ribhu Dasgupta. Written: Ribhu Dasgupta. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and others. Cinematography Tribhuvan Babu Sadineni. Music by Gilad Benamram. It features Parineeti Chopra, Harrdy Sandhu, Sharad Kelkar, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Rajit Kapur, Shishir Sharma. The movie was released in Oct 2022 and runs for about 2 hour 14 minutes. I watched it on Netflix on 17th Dec 2022.

Parineeti is Indian Special Ops agent who pretends to fall in love with a Turkish-Indian doctor in Afghanistan to kill Omar Khalid, who’s responsible for attack on parliament. The mission fails but she loses her heart. Time leap, Parineeti is sent to Turkey to eliminate her ex boss who has turned rogue. 

Parineeti delivers a good performance. She looks convincing and excels in acting as well as action. Harrdy looks handsome, acts well. Sharad plays the villain. He is a good actor, so his screen presence is impressive but his character is not well developed. He has no part in action. Shishir again plays a Pakistani. Rajat plays an Indian asset in Turkey. Both of them are good actors. 

It’s the story of Parineeti, she’s the protagonist. To support the story generally there are supporting characters. Their entries and exits are usually logical, timed, normal and seamless. However, in this movie the supporting cast appears out of thin air and disappears when they are not required.  That makes the story very bumpy, un-smooth and out of sync. It doesn’t have a flow. Writer director should have thought about it. 

Fight scenes are good, except the last Gun battle. Last fight scene is copied from some video game. You only see the tip of the gun and keep killing bad guys. The bad guys appear one by one so that you can kill then all and they don’t kill your back. What does the director think of audience? Idiots?

Most of the story and shooting happens in Turkey. It’s a beautiful country, so you see good locations, beautiful scenery and rustic-cum-heritage look.

Overall the movie fails to impress. Audience wait for the end of it. No wonder it bombed on box office. 

Positives: Parineeti and acting in general. 

Negatives: Everything else.  

AVOID.
