aiyaary (2018)

A secret and unauthorised intelligence division of the Indian army is under attack. The secret of their existence is about to be aired on national television, and there’s hardly anything that they can do about it. Considering that they are the top-notch intelligence officials of the country, you might wonder as to why are they so helpless, right? Well you see, Major Jai Dikshit, (Sidharth Malhotra), one of their celebrated officers, with a proverbial bright future, has gone rogue. But not all is lost yet as his mentor, Colonel Abhay Singh (Manoj Bajpayee) is out to get him before he pulls off the big reveal. There’s another person, who is inadvertently involved in the whole mess. Sonia (Rakul Preet Singh) is a IT genius, who shows off her prowess by hacking into people’s computers to shop online. However, considering how love is blind and all that, she doesn’t see through Jai’s trickery and ends up becoming his secretary. Like in all Neeraj Pandey’s film there is a sub-plot too and it provides a bird’s eye view of the bigger picture. So while you are trying to figure out, along with Col. Abhay, as to why the prodigal good boy has veered off track, there are a few other elements thrown in the mix. A corrupt ex-army man who is trying to bribe an honest officer before blackmailing him, another ex-army man with a ammunition company and a terrible obsession with 3D models, a frazzled old man in a seedy motel room, and a mastermind with no nationality, form the ensemble cast of the film. And while you are still trying to wrap your head around what exactly is going on, as the filmmaker ties one loose end after another, there comes a final reveal, which makes you question everything.
