Plot
In the film, Khaadir is an extremely dangerous terrorist who has become a major issue for India. Subhash, a RAW agent, murders Khaadir, but then he himself dies for unknown reasons. As soon as RAW finds out Khaadir is still alive, they go out to kill him. Jai, one of the spies, is Subhash’s sibling. He is aiming to find out who murdered Subhash and eliminate Khaadir as his important goal.
Review
Despite the film’s intriguing take on Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, the filmmakers failed to craft a compelling narrative. The story doesn’t do anything to pique the audience’s interest as a suspense thriller and is let down by its lacklustre narration. Some of the characters are underdeveloped and the movie also falls flat emotionally.
Flop

This is a common thriller with nothing particularly innovative to offer. The execution of several situations was mediocre. There are just a few brief moments centred on Subhash Chandra Bose, and doesn’t explore many elements of his life.
Failed movie. Movie isn’t about Bose

The aesthetics in a couple of instances seemed off owing to bad CG works, and the camera works weren’t all that great, therefore the cinematography was only okay. The director performed a shabby job. The film falls flat because it uses tired tropes to create an ordinary thriller. There is a lack of coherence in several of the sequences.
M ❤️da lo cinema tesinav anna . Worst direction & script in your career.

Despite these flaws, Nikhil’s performance in Spy is remarkable. Nikhil pulls off the role of a spy with style and confidence. To do Jai’s personality credit, he has given it his all. On occasion, he does a credible job of acting. Iswarya Menon carries herself well. Sanya Thakur had a stunning performance as Saraswati. Abhinav Gomatham played the character of Kamal; his comic scenes are good, regardless of the setting.
Not up to mark as your previous films
Good attempt but dissatisfied and disappointed bro
Comeback with another blasting like kk2— Mass Rider (@MassRider7Here) July 2, 2023
Rana Daggubati does a great job in his cameo. What he says about Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s influence is mind-blowing. Both Rana’s presence and the Azaadi song pique the audience’s attention.
Oh wow! Rana cameo is unexpected. Interesting trailer cut. Will watch FDFS 🙂

Overall, Spy is a dull and predictable thriller that doesn’t add anything to the genre. The only redeeming features are Nikhil’s earnest acting and a few funny or touching scenes.
