Description: Forensic 2022 is a unique and peculiar film that pushes the boundaries of disbelief. The movie requires viewers to suspend rationality, risking their immersion in a confusing and absurd narrative. Set in Mussourie, the story follows Megha, a police officer, and her ex Johnny, a forensic expert, as they investigate a series of murders involving young girls. The plot is filled with twists and turns, along with detailed forensic analysis, which might intrigue true crime enthusiasts.
However, the film struggles with its execution. The psychological thriller goes overboard with its convoluted storyline, making it hard for viewers to stay engaged. At two hours long, it feels overly stretched, packed with unnecessary twists, chase scenes, and excessive information. The movie shifts between a family drama and a thriller, making one wish it leaned more toward the former, especially given the strong chemistry between the lead actors.
In its final act, Forensic 2022 takes an absurd and almost comical turn, which undermines its credibility as a thriller. This unexpected shift not only shocks but also amuses, ultimately detracting from the film’s intended suspense. For a thriller, this kind of reaction from the audience signifies a failure to deliver a compelling and engaging experience.
