Despatch starts off really well and I was rooting for Joy Bag (Manoj Bajpayee) as he starts investigating a murder for a story in his paper. I tell myself this is good cinema until Joy gets entangled in a mess. Then all goes haywire as the plot grips and you scratch your head wondering who called him and why and what happened there and oh was that it. Despatch is a film with a lot of potential to send a message about whistleblowers but in an attempt to be a lot of things together, it ends up being a master of none. Still, this is a good Kanu Behl film if you have the time to watch and appreciate Bajpayee's natural acting. Just pay extra attention in the last parts.
