About Movie:

Forensic: The Truth Lies Within, also known simply as Forensic, is a Hindi psychological crime thriller film directed by Vishal Furia. It serves as a remake of the 2020 Malayalam film Forensic, which was co-directed by Akhil Paul and Anas Khan.

Forensic received mixed to positive reviews from critics upon its release on ZEE5. While some praised the performances, particularly that of Vikrant Massey and Radhika Apte, others felt that the film did not fully capture the tension and depth of its source material. Despite its intriguing premise, it struggled to make a significant impact at the box office.

The film’s release added to the growing trend of adapting successful regional films into Hindi cinema, reflecting a broader interest in crime thrillers that incorporate forensic science into their narratives.
