Review of Operation Parindey . . . (ZEE5 Premium Film)

Dhoom fame director is back after years as a director on digital platform where he made one cop terrorist crime drama film which is based on true event happened in India of Jailbreak.

Operation Parindey is a story of Monty Singh (Rahul Dev) terrorism activist who's in the jail but still handling the operations of terror activities with the help of other jail people and also police officials involved in that and all of them praise him and call him Babaji. One day with pre planning he escaping from the jail in very filmy way.

Abhinav Mathur (Amit Sadh) called on duty from special task force to catch Monty Singh. He with his team making plans, taking evidence and running to catch him before he leave the Delhi.

It's has been seen that films which are getting released in theatres are having 2 to 3 hours duration while using same kind of pattern film makers make the films for Digi platform having the same length of approx 2 hours. I am here talking about the films which are releasing on digital platforms like Netflix, Amazon, Zee5, Hotstar etc not about the series which are of some episodes.

To break this pattern is tough and risky job but Sanjay Gadhvi and the production team of Operation Parindey did it. Actually nowadays people don't prefer to watch 3 hours long duration films specially when it's small film or it has poor editing people get bored of it but if film makers are smart enough to tell the stories in less than 2 hours or less than 1 and half hours then it works as beneficial for them. Operation Parindey is having length of only 55 minutes including initial and ending credits and i was amazed how brilliant Sanjay Gadhvi Sir handled to execute this story in minimum time than regular films rather wasting times in songs or other masalas.

In the very first 10 minutes we are informed about the characters so well and later rest time what happens in the story of jailbreak and cop chasing him we can see ahead.

Here keeping the short length i think it's plus point of the film. There are nowadays lot of crimes drama films coming some fictional and some based on true events, some are getting theatrical release while some of them are getting released on the digital platform so people become choosy to watch all the films until they read good reviews but keeping short length will definitely make people excited to watch it as they will not have to spend more time.

If film's screenplay is engaging, director is confident, editor is sharp in his job then in minimum time less than and hour story can be told as a feature film. What happened in the case of Operation Parindey. In just 55 minutes they have covered and told the story very simplistic way and all the things were kept it so simple whether it's writing or direction etc kept me so engaged till the end. It has obviously some twists but they let it revealed in simple way than adding extra masalas. So here i must say they succeed in keeping the short length of the film than usual.

Direction is so nice i must say making it simple yet so powerful that deserves appreciation. Good job Sanjay Gadhvi Sir.

I loved Rahul Dev earlier in his many films specially in villain roles. He nails negative roles all the time and this time too as a Monty Singh he's terrifying.

 It's always great to watch them who are not seen nowadays in films but coming back with digital platforms. I wish he may work more as he's immensely talented.

Amit Sadh OMG what a perfect choice for the role of Abhinav Mathur. Very appropriate person. Loved him in Sultan and other films he did and here too he nailed the role of cop. Looking forward for his choices of roles. He's also very talented if he uses it in better roles or films like this.

Other casting is also good Rucha Inamdar leaves impact in her short role and one name i must mention here Akash Dahiya is also very fine actor we have in our film industry. His talented should be used more. He performed effortlessly for this.

On the whole i liked the performances, direction, simple presentation in just 55 minutes of length and informed more about the incident that took place in our country.

Those who're going to catch it Don't miss to read last information slides of true story & yes as it has released on digital platform it's uncensored form therefore it has use of bad words so recommended only for adults.

My Ratings

3.5/5.
