Faraaz

The film tries to explore the Good Muslim-Bad Muslim debate, but falls short of providing substantial content for a meaningful discussion. The characters themselves are reduced to Twitter-like debating without adding any depth to the discourse. After leaving the theatre, one may not feel invested in the lives lost or the terrorists' motivations. The portrayal of a neighboring Muslim country is likely to be controversial. Nevertheless, the film is a tense hostage drama that prompts reflection. However, the ultimate purpose of the film may leave the viewer questioning its relevance. The film's cinematic execution is flawed, as it struggles to find a consistent tone and fails to balance its various elements effectively. It vacillates between being dramatic and subtle, humorous and ironic, resulting in an unconvincing and disjointed viewing experience.

This movie has made me wonder about the safety of the breweries and eateries in Bengaluru, and other places, which can accommodate hundreds of people, whther they are prepared to handle terrorist attacks such as the one shown in the movie. The movie was average. I liked the meaning of the name Faraaz and the message given in the end. However, I couldn't connect to the movie. The events in the movie were not organized properly and it was like grabbing pieces from here and there and clubbed together. The movie could have been better directed. It is a one time watch movie and should be watched without much expectations.

So funny. Bangladesh Police is talking in hindi wearing the official uniform of Bangladesh Police. Sarcastic for that specific police force. So lame.

In Bangladesh, another movie maker named Mostafa Sarwar Farooqui directed another movie in same topic that is named as "Shonibar Bikele" or "In the afternoon of a Saturday". But the sensor board did not permit him to publish this movie due to some reasons which is really a matter of sorrow. And they appealed to release the movie before months whereas he is still waiting to release it. But bollywood has made it done by making this unrealistic movie on the topic of anothercountry. This is very funny.

It is a good attempt to make a film about this horrible event. However, as the film producers are making this one for commercial purposes, they have altered many actual incidents and made it suitable to watch and enjoy like a thriller movie. For a Bangladeshi viewer, who knows the actual facts, it is difficult to watch this movie considering the actual event in mind. Therefore, if you told this story as fiction and altered the name and natural places, it could be acceptable for many viewers. To mention the good part, everyone, like the actor, director and sound engineer, did their best. Personally, I couldn't enjoy the movie with biased storytelling and altered factual events.

Could have been much more impactful but still not a bad watch. I don't think anyone will watch it more than once.

The whole movie could have been much tighter, with a lot more finesse, and better dialogues. The cops were totally unconvincing (almost comical) and just by adding an expletive here and there doesn't make one sound tough.

There was some subtle humour, which would have been better placed in a movie that was not based on such a horrific incident. There was a song (seriously), which could have been totally deleted.

Acting wise, Aditya Rawal as the lead terrorist, Zahan Kapoor and Juhi Babbar performed exceptionally well but Zahan had very limited screen presence, which is weird since the movie is supposed to be about him. I think he had great potential.

This shocking and tragic story could have been dealt with in a much more sensitive and mature way. A lost opportunity!
