Nikhil comes again with Spy, a PAN Indian film. Garry BH, a well-known editor, helmed the film, and Rana appeared in an incidental role. Spy is a film about the mysterious death of liberation warrior Subash Chandra Bose. Khaadir is a fugitive terrorist who represents an enormous danger to Country. RAW Agent Subhash murders Khaadir, but dies under unexplained reasons. RAW quickly discovers that Khaadir is still alive and plots an operation to assassinate him. Jai, Subhash’s brother, serves as one of the operatives. Jai has to assassinate Khaadir, and to discover who assassinated Subhash.
Nikhil’s performance in Spy is remarkable. Nikhil looks the part of an espionage operative and executes admirably. The young performer is fantastic in all of the action-packed scenes. Abhinav Gomatam lends his backing to the actor. Abhinav receives an extended function, and he plays it brilliantly. His jokes make people chuckle.Rana Daggubati makes an appearance.
The filmmakers were unable to weave a compelling story around it. For the most part, the story is dull and lacks excitement. Those expecting thrilling occurrences will be dissatisfied by the dull narrative. Sri Charan Pakala’s soundtrack score isn’t very memorable. The song Azaadi looks nice on film. Only a few sequences revolve around Subhash Chandra Bose, and the film may have proved stronger if the creators had concentrated more on the undiscovered aspect of the liberation warrior.
The film is a conventional espionage action thriller . It is saved by Nikhil’s upfront acting and a few nice parts. The primary flaw is the dull narrative, which lacks any high or exhilarating parts. It might have been a lot better if the producers had focused more on the facts about Subhash Chandra Bose.
The Times of India’s Neeshita Nyayapati awarded it 2.5 stars and commented, “Garry’s film has its heart in the right place, but it lacks the spunk to stand out.”
Spy received 2.5 out of 5 stars from India Today’s Latha Srinivasan, who said, “Spy is a thriller that tries to be a desi Jason Bourne but sorely misses.”
In a review for The Hindu, Sangeetha Devi Dundoo stated, “Spy tries to ride on the nationalistic sentiment but ends up as a bore without a solid story in place.”
