Despatch has strong acting by Manoj Bajpayee but it is a very poorly edited film. In a few scenes , nothing happens for several seconds, like the people are trying to make up their minds before acting, similar to babies staring at each other before deciding what to do. It does get to you - also some loose ends are left hanging. Still I watched it because I recall reading about the murder of J Dey of Mid-day back when it was news and the 2G scam. I wish they had masked the names a little less in the movie.

Despatch ZEE5

Contrary to views here in this thread, I found Despatch unnerving and a very engaging watch. A film that needed to be made in order to let us viewers know what the field journalists actually do to get the real news out. The movie has its flaws, at times it’s a drag almost but that is what Kanu Behl has been doing all these years. He makes silence speak and that’s to his credit that he maintains that in this movie as well. Manoj Bajpayee has given the gravitas to the character that he plays. He is the reason that the movie works for me. The last half an hour or so was the most disturbing part. The movie is a stark reminder of the times we live in where real journalism has gone for a toss because there are elements who do not want the truth out !!

Those who enjoy serious cinema should give it a watch. Not to be watched with kids since nudity is involved.

Rating: 3.5/5

Agni Amazon Prine

Already lot has been said in this thread about the movie and it is indeed a very engaging watch. One of the better movies to come out this year with solid acting by the entire cast. The core storyline revolving around the firefighters is indeed commendable. The theme has never been attempted before and the graphics are top notch too. Very good star cast along with a decent enough story engages the viewer and takes them along. Recommended watch.

Excellent Movie, gripping storyline, simple but attention to details were not ignored. Someone born in 1970s and 80s and familiar with banking and stock market will better understand each and every scene.

Not a commercial masala movie, but you'll be glued to the movie till end even though it's predictable. We can recollect old accounting and banking tricks.
