Tanaav

Tanaav is a very good show & it gets into action from the 1st episode. I was in am awe seeing this show & thinking Indian shows do have originality.

But then I watched FAUDA on Netflix an Israeli show & realised that Tanaav is word to word & scene to scene copy of FAUDA with few additional Indian masala added to the story.

Now I don't know if producers of Tanaav has copied, inspired or it's an Indian adaptation.

If it's an adaptation it's an excellent work done If it's a copy, still a very good job done by all involved in the show.

Be that as it may Tanaav is still a very good show & a must watch atleast once.

The series is a remake / inspired from Israel series FAUDA. Acting performance of all the characters are up to the mark. VFX & Cinematography are also good. Just one thing which is missing from the series is a good background score which is necessary for a series like this. Apart from that some unnecessary romantic scenes were included which is not at all needed. The chasing and kidnaping scenes are also not convincing, I mean literary they started firing and kidnaping anywhere in the city and also hurt 2-3 people at the same time. Good to watch if you have nothing to watch in your bucket list.

Web Series Review: Tanaav ( Streaming on Sony LIV)

A blast from the past actually. This is a Web Series from 2022 which I missed. Reviewing it anyways....

Tanaav is an adaptation of the internationally acclaimed web series Fauda.

The setting is in Kashmir where an innocent brother of a notorious terrorist - Panther becomes collateral damage at his own wedding in a secret operation carried out by the armed forces to capture his brother!!

This sparks off a chain of events that threaten to derail the peace in the valley that is already on the edge !!

The protagonist in the Indian version is Manav Vij as Kabir who along with his team comprising Arbaaz Khan, Rajat kapur among others attempt to thwart the evil designs of the terrorist Umar Riaz ( Sumit Kaul) and his team Junaid (Shashank Arora) and co.

Having seen the Israeli original by Lior Raz as protagonist Doron Kavillio, I was pleasantly surprised with the Indian adaptation.

Direction, editing, cinematography are bang on. This goes a long way in creating an edge of the seat thriller web series for the viewers. Production quality is high with a great cast. Everyone has given it their all and it shows !!

I saw this despite having watched the original Israeli series and enjoyed it immensely!!

Tanaav is 12 episodes long .. but don't worry.. length of each episode has a runtime of around 25 to 30 mins which makes it a bingewatch worthy opinion!!

Eagerly waiting for the 2nd Season which will begin streaming shortly!!

Going with 3.5/5 for this one .. Adios 🙂!!

Could have done better. It's a copy of the Israeli blockbuster series Fauda, however could not achieve the expected results.

The characters, the setup, the plot, the story line, all of them follows the original series. The plot although was made fit for the Indian viewers by using the old and popular chapter.

It isn't bad, you might enjoy it if you have not watched the original. The video quality and locations are fantastic if you can enjoy on big & quality screen. The locations were used appropriately and a lot of strength to the series. The actors have done a fine job .

Overall, it's not a bad watch.

Tanaav is an action crime drama thriller show directed by sachin krishn and sudhir mishra. Its duration is 6 hr 33 min. Also this is an official adaptation of the israeli show 'fauda'.

I am unsure about the acting. Its kind of weird, there is no standout performance even good performers have been inconsistent. Manav vij with his half open eyes becomes repetetive after a certain point of time. His emotional turmoil is half baked. Shashank arora is very good here. Probably the best. Arbaaz khan does not know to deliver dialogues. Rajat kapoor in his soft, manipulative role does pretty well despite having no arc. The other actors are decent or average.

The cinematography is beautiful mostly and abrupt partly. There are some closeup shots that are so close that the characters may crack the camera if taken further. The transition shots from character to character are good. Its kashmir so scenic landscape has been used brilliantly.

The music and background score is good. The thrilling sequences have been supported well here by the bgm. However in other sequences there is an incessant tendency to use the bgm.

I liked the philosphy of this show. It does not immortalize the armed forces and also does not make the militants heroes or villains. It keeps its head in the right place and does it job. You can watch the show if you find it interesting.
