Ittefaq

Ittefaq (2017) is an Indian crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. A double murder leaves two witnesses — who happen to be the two prime suspects: acclaimed novelist Vikram and a young homemaker named Maya.

Each tells Inspector Dev a version of that night that is tidy, convincing and completely at odds with the other. Someone is lying, but the film keeps you guessing which one right up to the end. Sidharth Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha play the suspects, with Akshaye Khanna as the sharp cop fitting their statements together like a puzzle. It runs a lean 105 minutes with no songs or dance numbers — rare for Bollywood, and it keeps the mystery moving.

This is a remake of the 1969 thriller of the same name, rebuilt by Abhay Chopra into a tight, single-night whodunit of duelling testimonies. The final twist is easy to spoil, so go in cold. A solid pick for anyone who likes a mystery that hides its answer until the last minute. Stream Ittefaq (2017) online on iFILM.
