Class of '83 (2020)

There was this feeling at the back of my head where I felt Bobby Deol was a capable actor and he proves his skill in this serious drama but the film overall disappoints.

Class of '83 follows Vijay Singh, a cop on punishment posting, who trains five students to combat against the underworld and police corruption present.

The best part of this film is the production design and performances. I really liked the overall look of the film. There's darkness lurking around every corner that's filled with a murky colour palette. It creates an ugly atmosphere that's very suitable for a film like this. Even the small details such as having 80s posters in the background of shots adds to the authenticity of the time period. Bobby Deol delivers a great restrained performance despite his weak character and the five cadets played by Ninad Mahajani, Bhupendra Jadawat, Sameer Paranjape, Hitesh Bhojraj and Prithvik Pratap give good performances especially considering this film being their acting debut.

Despite that, the execution of the film overall was weak. The screenplay by Abhijeet Shirish Deshpande relies too much on exposition. Executing narration well in a film is hard and sadly this wasn't one of those cases. The film is also very short and because of how fast everything moves, you don't feel much of a connection to any of the characters. It all seems way too rushed and that lack of connection creates a low impact overall. The short runtime also didn't allow the story to develop properly. There isn't enough urgency in the story for me to be entirely invested which is why the climax of the film feels so underwhelming.

In the technical department, Class of '83 is well made but the story is lacking. You barely feel attached to these characters and because of that the impact is very weak. Had they worked on the script more, this could have been a thrilling and captivating cop drama but sadly this wasn't the case.

Fmovies: Nothing new, RGV underworld movies were far better than this. In 2020, they are providing 90s material. Red Chillies come with better projects. I heard a lot about this book but after watching movie didn't get why it was so hyped.

This movie is only for bobby

he acted tremendously well and he looked perfect for the character

rest there is nothing in this movie which u haven't seen before

the first half hour was very thrilling then after the move sailed in a ordinary phase

ending was pathetic

from starting they highlighted on the villain paraskar but when in end he arrived he looked like extras actors performing

just this for bobby

Class of '83 fmovies. Acting is good Screenplay is below average Climax is s**t

On the golden rule of storytelling,"Show, don't tell", the film utterly fails. Moreover, the film promotes extrajudicial killings and such films are a threat to the idea of democracy.

Good and interesting movie but end was not that great and seemed clumsy. But Bobby was amazing
