Dispatch Movie Review Story Performance
Director-writer Kanu Bahl’s Dispatch movie is based on the life of a journalist named Joy. He has tried to show the changing nature of the digital world and the scams related to the sports world.

Analysis
The cinematographer has done a great job in the film, whether it is the crime scenes of Mumbai or the newsroom scenes, both bring alive the realism, these scenes refresh the crime journalism to the audience, the slow pace of the film weakens it, the sound style in the film was impressive but the lighting in the film was very bad.
Conclusion
Director-writer Kanu Behl’s Dispatch movie shows the struggles in the life of a journalist who uncovers a big scam – 2G spectrum scam and scams in the sports world – which can either make his life effective or put him at risk of losing his life.
