Fire’s Review

The Times of India rated Fire 2.5 out of 5. Their review highlighted that while the film had potential, it didn’t fully capitalize on it. The review noted,

“Fire isn't entirely without merit. It shows occasional sparks of promise in its premise. Like Rust Cohle might observe in True Detective, time becomes a flat circle here too — each victim's story echoing the same pattern of manipulation. The film's scattered strengths just twist the knife deeper. The result is a mystery that generates about as much heat as a matchstick in a rainstorm.”
