REVIEW: Fox (2009)

Fox: Falls apart

Rating: 2 out of 5

Cast: Sunny Deol, Arjun Rampal, Sagarika Ghatge, Udita Goswami, Vipul Gupta and Ravi Gossain

Director: Deepak Tijori

Duration: 2 Minutes and 34 Seconds

Churning out a suspense thriller is not everyone’s cup of tea. Director Deepak Tijori is a recent example. Fox goes down as the most carelessly made thriller. Everything is perfect till the interval and then the things take a non-gullible and predictable shaped just after one brings their popcorn packets to get ready for suspense to reveal.

The story revolves around the protagonist Arjun (Arjun Rampal) who is well accomplished and acclaimed as a criminal lawyer. He has a habit to win the cases at any cost and criminals take his name with confidence when any case is assigned to him. After rescuing criminals from imprisonment, Arjun conscious grills him to choose the right path of honesty. However, someone is there who brings obstacles in his path. So, in his mission to get rid of his guilt, Urvashi (Sagarika Ghatge) and a police officer Yash (Sunny Deol) come to his rescue.

Nigam Bomzan’s cinematography gets full marks. Sunny Deol doesn’t give his best. Arjun Rampal fits in the bill perfectly and does a good job. Sagarika Ghatge springs up a surprise though her performance in Chak De India, too didn’t go unnoticed. Udita Goswami doesn’t have much scope. Vipul Gupta is promising. Ravi Gossain is strictly fine.

Overall, Fox loses at the end, and that results in the debacle of the film at the box-office.
