Hindi cinema has a set track for its female spies: quit your life and dreams to infiltrate a hostile nation, feign coyness or overfamiliarity, fall in love and then sacrifice said love for your mission. The routine has become so banal that it takes a Raazi (2018), which at least tried to capture its protagonists’ emotional journey, to rescue it. Even then, that dull old question returns: is love beyond duty?
Lahore Confidential is a gripping spy thriller with a love story at its centre. With its compelling storyline and great performances, the film is must watch. It is created by S Hussain Zaidi and directed by Kunal Kohli.
