'''''FIR 6 to 6''''' is a 2025 Indian [[Kannada]]-language [[action thriller film]] directed by K. V. Ramana Raj in his directorial debut. The film stars [[Vijay Raghavendra]] and Siri Raju.

== Plot ==
Inspector Garuda (Vijay Raghavendra), a principled and determined police officer, receives a high-stakes challenge when he arrests the brother of notorious crime lord Randhawa (Yash Shetty). Prompted by the gangster, Garuda must navigate a series of deadly tests between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. to protect innocents and bring justice. The film opens with a tense raid: Garuda races through the city streets, rushing home moments before a gang of miscreants attempts to break into his house, where his wife Jyothi (Siri Raju) is alone and terrified. As he takes action to shield her, the narrative branches into multiple simultaneous emergencies: a young couple’s elopement derails into violence, a wedding night is shocked by gang interference, and a trivial bar mishap escalates into something more sinister. These subplots unfold in parallel to Garuda’s central quest to protect Jyothi and uphold Randhawa’s challenge.

Amid the chaos, Garuda is relentlessly on the move—cracking down on miscreants, coordinating his team, and juggling time-sensitive calls. Leafing through phone contacts and checking his watch becomes a recurring visual motif, underscoring the tension of his race against time. A subplot involving a drug mafia and smuggling ring tied to Randhawa's empire introduces an added layer of peril when Garuda must dismantle a dangerous drug deal to edge closer to the gangster’s inner circle. Garuda confronts the crime lord, fights through his goons, and races to rescue Jyothi, bringing the film’s 12-hour crisis to a head.

In the end, Garuda triumphs—Randhawa’s challenges are nullified, his wife is saved, and the multiple crises are quelled. However, critics note the plot’s frenetic pacing and disjointed subplots overshadow the emotional resonance, resulting in a thriller that falters amid its ambitious, multi-threaded narrative.

== Reception ==
Y. Maheswara Reddy of ''[[Bangalore Mirror]]'' rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Raj has tried to say so many things at once, without realising the futility of such efforts and methods.

A. Sharadhaa of ''[[Cinema Express]]'' gave it two out of five stars and wrote, "The film attempts to juggle too many themes—from family drama to elopement, drug mafias to cop chases— but fails to execute any of them effectively. With underwhelming performances and a convoluted storyline, ''FIR 6 to 6'' ends up as a tedious and forgettable watch."<ref>{{cite news |last1=A. |first1=Sharadhaa |title=FIR 6 to 6 Movie Review: Time for Vijay Raghavendra to break free from khaki roles |url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/kannada/review/2025/Mar/01/fir-6-to-6-movie-review-time-for-vijay-raghavendra-to-break-free-from-khaki-roles |work=Cinema Express |date=1 March 2025 |language=en |archive-date=27 March 2025 |access-date=4 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250327183703/https://www.cinemaexpress.com/kannada/review/2025/Mar/01/fir-6-to-6-movie-review-time-for-vijay-raghavendra-to-break-free-from-khaki-roles |url-status=live }}</ref> Critics from ''[[Udayavani]]'' and ''[[Vijayavani]]'' found the screenplay to be average.<ref>{{cite news |title=FIR 6 TO 6 FILM REVIEW: ಕಡುಗತ್ತಲಲ್ಲಿ ಗರುಡನ ಬೇಟೆ |url=https://www.vijayavani.net/fir-6-to-6-film-review |work=[[Vijayavani]] |date=1 March 2025 |archive-date=1 March 2025 |access-date=4 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250301213713/https://www.vijayavani.net/fir-6-to-6-film-review |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=FIR 6 to 6 Review: ಮಬ್ಬು ಬೆಳಕಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ ಬೀಟ್‌ |url=https://www.udayavani.com/cinema/movie-review/vijay-raghavendras-fir-6-to-6-review |work=[[Udayavani]] |date=1 March 2025 |language=kn}}</ref>
