Fateh Sonu Sood’s directorial and writing debut kicks off with an unapologetically violent and straightforward opening. The film is designed to shock and provoke making its intentions clear from the outset with a relentless barrage of bullets and a mounting body count. Viewers are left with two options: buckle up or bow out.

Unapologetic Violence with a Warning
True to its promise Fateh spares no punches. If the graphic violence is too much to handle the film offers a clear exit. A disclaimer at the beginning warns viewers of what lies ahead and a mid film message aptly states Brace yourself you will need this break. However this brief pause is all the respite available in the unyielding carnage that defines the film.
Fateh Singh: A One-Man Wrecking Force
At the heart of the story is Fateh Singh (Sonu Sood) a relentless force who lets his actions speak louder than words. His minimalist dialogues contrast sharply with his over the top take no prisoners approach to violence. Fateh’s rampage choreographed by Hollywood action director Lee Whittake showcases an array of weapons from rifles and knives to axes and hammers anything lethal enough to do the job.
Brimming with Energy but Lacking Intrigue
The film delivers visceral energy and even attempts a social message. However it struggles to build suspense or intrigue. The villains played skillfully by Naseeruddin Shah and Vijay Raaz are introduced early leaving little room for mystery.
A Mission to Dismantle Cybercrime
The primary draw lies in watching how Fateh dismantles a network of cybercriminals operating a fraudulent loan app. The app preys on vulnerable individuals hacks into their bank accounts and steals their savings. The taut first half stays focused on this blood-soaked mission while allowing occasional emotional moments.

Grit and Dialogue: Fateh’s Persona
When asked, Tum karte kya ho? (What do you do?) Fateh replies enigmatically Sabko janna hai . Later, someone is ominously warned Jaan jayogi toh jaan jayegi (You’ll be dead if you find out). These sharp one liners add to the film’s gritty tone.
Villains and Relentless Action
Fateh battles countless adversaries on his path to the mastermind Raza (Shah) a rogue ex spy. Along the way he faces Satya Prakash (Raaz) whose brutality is demonstrated when he kills a man with a metal chopstick. In another sequence Fateh storms a call center hidden in an abandoned Delhi cinema hall confronting Chadda (Akashdeep Sabir) with swift and ruthless precision.
The Roots of a Mission
The story begins in Punjab where a villager takes his own life after being unable to repay a spiraling loan. When the loan facilitator vanishes Fateh tracks the fraudsters to Delhi embarking on a violent spree reminiscent of his days as an undercover agent.
A Return to the Past
Fateh’s mission becomes personal when Nimrat Kaur (Shiv Jyoti Rajput) goes missing. Partnering with ethical hacker Khushi Sharma (Jacqueline Fernandez) Fateh uncovers the cybercrime network. He mentions his last mission was years ago in San Francisco but his skills remain razor sharp.
Scars of the Past
True to his pragmatic nature Fateh uses a diary for notes explaining it can’t be hacked. His scars etched on his face and body serve as constant reminders of a violent past one he’s ready to revisit in his quest for justice.
