India's Most Wanted (film)

India's Most Wanted is a 2019 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film[5] directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, and starring Arjun Kapoor.

The film was theatrically released in India on 24 May 2019, receiving mixed reviews and performed poorly at the box office.

At the PMO, New Delhi, a heated meeting takes place where a top ranking official berates the spy agencies for the continuous failures in the intelligence causing more attacks on India in the recent times.

A group, led by Prabhat Kumar, volunteers to track down the mastermind behind these attacks, Yusuf (nicknamed as GHOST), who according to an intel report, is hiding in Nepal posing as a doctor.

His superior, Rajesh Singh, is soundly against this as Nepal is strategically important for India, but gives in finally but with an ultimatum of four days.

He alerts Singh, who is forced to tell about the ongoing developments with his senior management, who derides him for this hasty decision without keeping anyone in look, but decides to help the team.

With no option left, Prabhat and his team charges inside despite warning from the cop, and discovers Yusuf along with Maachis, another wanted terrorist.

[17] Ananya Bhattacharya of India Today also praised cinematography of Dudley for Nepal shots and gave two and half stars out of five.

She feels that the film suffers from a sluggish pace, but lives up to promise of telling the story of the nameless and faceless heroes.

Terming it as 'a placid spy thriller', Gupta praised Arjun Kapoor for giving earnest performance.

"[23] Raja Sen of the Hindustan Times feels that this intelligence film is not bright and says, "...well-meaning thriller too restrained to be memorable."

[24] Bollywood Hungama rates the film with three out of five, and says, "On the whole, India's Most Wanted is an average fare thanks to its poor writing and direction.
