Nikhil Siddhartha’s latest release Spy hit the screens amidst high expectations. The actor now weighs big at the box office, thanks to his pan-Indian fick Karthikeya 2 (2022).
The later half of Spy explores how a dreaded terrorist, presumed dead, returns in the form of nuclear scientist Abdul Rehman to deal an irrecoverable blow to India.
The film boasts big on paper, with all the materials an international espionage thriller needs. But director Garry BH falters while executing it on the screen.
Watch Spy for Nikhil’s moments of becoming an action hero and Abhinav Gomatam’s comedy. But it’s a strict no-no for those who love suspense, mystery and espionage stories.
