Reception
Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote, “At its core, Fateh highlights the vulnerabilities of our fast-paced digital lives. While its blood-soaked narrative may not resonate with everyone, it effectively underscores the urgency of its theme.” Rishil Jogani of Pinkvilla gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote, “Fateh emerges as a promising film, especially considering it’s Sonu Sood’s first venture into directing. It’s recommended for those who enjoy action-packed dramas with a touch of social relevance. The movie isn’t without its flaws, particularly in its narrative predictability and some visual inconsistencies, but these are overshadowed by its strengths. For fans of Bollywood action thrillers looking for both entertainment and a message, Fateh delivers a satisfying experience.” Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost gave 3.5/5 and wrote “Fateh is a big-screen entertainer and deserves an audience for its crisp storytelling and stylish action sequences.”
Bollywood Hungama gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote, “Fateh is a slick action entertainer that exposes the horrors of loan apps, a burning issue in the country right now. Sonu Sood is impressive as an actor and also as director in this film that has the potential to surprise though the opening will be impacted due to limited buzz.”Trisha Bhattacharya of India Today gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote, “For fans of Sonu Sood or those looking for a light masala entertainer with a socially relevant theme, Fateh might be worth a watch. However, it’s not a film that will linger in your mind long after the credits roll.” Tanmayi Savadi of Times Now gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote, “Fateh offers nothing new in terms of the plot. The saving graces are the actors who put their heart and soul into making it a bearable affair. If you are a fan of Sonu Sood, Fateh could make for a decent watch. Otherwise, it suffers from unexciting treatment even when style and action are in abundance.”
Box office
Fateh collected ₹14–18.2 crore worldwide.
