Development

The project began in 2016 after extensive research into crime journalism in particular and the Mumbai underworld.[6] The film was directed by Kanu Behl, known for his critically acclaimed works such as Titli and Agra.[7][8] Behl also co-wrote the screenplay with Ishani Banerjee and Vipin Agnihotri. Manoj Bajpayee was cast as a crime journalist.[9]

Release

The film was screened at the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival and later at the International Film Festival of India in Goa, where it received praise for its storytelling and performances. The official teaser of the film was released in November 2022 and the trailer came out on December 3, 2024.[10] Reviewing the trailer, Shreshtha Chaudhury of Koimoi highlighted Manoj Bajpayee's performance, describing him as the "show-stealer".[11]

Reception

Dhaval Roy of Times of India rated it 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Despatch is effective in its depiction of crime journalism and explores the value of information that can save or end lives. Despite its pace and sombre vein, it’s a worthy one-time watch."[12]

Subhash K Jha of Times Now rated 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Despatch is a film that commands our uninterrupted attention and eventually, our respect for being what it is."[13]
