Rafat Films Entertainment’s Mission Grey House (UA) is a suspense thriller.
Kabeer Rathod (Abeer Khan) dreams of becoming a police officer. So enamoured is he of the uniform that he dons a policeman’s uniform and even fights the goons. He is in love with Kiara (Puja Sharma) whose father is the Inspector General of Police. The IG warns Kabeer for posing as a policeman, but his daughter pleads with him to make Kabeer a police officer. The IG then gives him a mission — to find out why murders are taking place in Grey House. The IG promises to fulfill Kabeer’s dream if he can accomplish Mission Grey House. However, Kabeer gets trapped while solving the mystery. Does he come out of it? Is he able to accomplish his mission? Does he find out the killer? Does he join the police force?
Zeba’s story is childish and rather implausible. Naushad Siddiqui’s screenplay is one of convenience. It doesn’t engage or involve the viewers. Even the suspense is half-baked and hence the revelation does not truly satisfy the audience. The romance is not heartwarming. Climax is weak. A.H. Siddiqui’s dialogues are dull.
Abeer Khan does an average job as Kabeer Rathod. Puja Sharma is so-so as Kiara. Rajesh Sharma lends ordinary support as Yashpal Singh. Kiran Kumar is okay as Vikrant Rana. Nikhat Khan (as Rekha) is average. Kamlesh Sawant makes his mark as Gaitonde. Raza Murad is okay in the role of Lala Seth. Babloo Mukherjee is ordinary as Rascal. Arslan (as young Kabeer), Zoya (as Tim Tim) and the others pass muster.
Naushad Siddiqui’s direction is dull. Music (Hriju Roy) and lyrics (Ravi Yadav) are both functional. Lollypop’s choreography is so-so. Background music is below the mark. Aamir Lal’s camerawork is okay. Abbas Ali Moghul’s action and stunt scenes are not very thrilling. Ashfaque Makrani’s editing is loose.
On the whole, Mission Grey House is a weak fare with bleak box-office potential.
Released on 17-1-’25 at Glamour (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Reliance Entertainment. Publicity & opening: poor. …….Also released all over. Opening was dull everywhere.
