The Freelancer works best when it focuses on the plight of Aliya, and also ravaged terrain of Syria. The character of Aliya is the backbone of the film. She goes through varied emotions.
Sushant Singh effectively conveys the desperation of a father in the screen time he has. Mohit Raina makes for a formidable mercenary and also a concerned uncle.
What doesn’t work for The Freelancer is the track of Mohit Raina and the complicated relationship that he shares with his on-screen wife (Manjari Fadnnis). It is weakly written.
The Freelancer ends with a cliffhanger of Aliya’s in-laws turning suicide bombers. This makes the viewers even more hooked about what would unfold in Season 2.
