Faadu - A Love Story

For sure storyline is amazing but like every stereotype reel the navigation of the story is bit biased towards the protagonist of the film though it will get balanced in the climax. Near the ending it seems like series lost it originality or we can say it losses its very first touch. Although the actors are amazing especially our protagonist Pavail Gulati, his aggression in the series is unbeatable though it cooled down to the very end which goes natural according to story and human nature both. But I must say conclusion of the story is great not like those feel-good series but harsh. In a nutshell must watch this film.

Anwar Says: A story, you should have patience to watch , a slow- burner and unhurriedly narrated by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwary. A man born into ghetto and desperate to reach top and booming with overconfidence, meets a girl who finds poetry in every situation. They want to live happily but the real world test them at every stage.

Initial episodes tells you the journey of both Abhay and Manjiri , beautifully played by Pavail Gulati and Sayami Kher, but later episodes take you to the desperation of Abhay only . Manjiri contributes to his initial metamorphosis but finally exits. Abhilash Thapliyal , the alcoholic brother is a character, you would feel like loving and caring.

The relationship of father and daughter is a rare where she bares her soul to her father like a friend. The opposite perspectives of the two leads has been so simply told in one line ' I am America and she is Bhutan' . However, you have the loo time in every episode and the story could have been told in eight episodes. 7 out of 10 from me.

Faadu is a thought-provoking drama with beautifully written dialogues that leave a lasting impact. The performances are remarkable, with each actor delivering a fabulous portrayal of their characters. While the direction is solid, it doesn't reach extraordinary levels. Some scenes stand out with deep and meaningful conversations, adding to the emotional depth of the series.

However, the storyline feels overly familiar-a poor yet genius boy striving for success, only to fall into a dangerous trap, a trope we've seen multiple times. The portrayal of rich people as unethical and villainous feels stereotypical and one-sided. Additionally, the show seems to justify certain morally questionable decisions, raising concerns about the way semi-porn and prostitution are depicted. The pacing also falters at times, making it dull in bits and pieces due to its overused plot structure.

Verdict: Faadu has its strong moments, but its predictable narrative and repetitive themes hold it back from being truly exceptional. Worth a watch for the dialogues and performances, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.

For me, it was a great experience. After a long time saw such a beautifully written series. Almost every character has been written very well, and have also been put on the screen very well. So all praise goes to the writer and director. The work of all the artists is also wonderful. The dialogue writing of every character is also praiseworthy and Faadu.

👉🏻You may find this series a bit slow, If you are watching this just for entertainment. If you want to have real fun then you will have to get lost in this world of Abhay and Manjiri.👇🏻 Saiyami Kher who played the role of Manjiri said this in an interview: "It makes you introspect. We often see lots of fast-paced content and crime on screen. However, we hardly take time out to sit and think or even fall in love. This show will help in that regard. It will make you appreciate the silences." I hope you have understood now. So whether to watch the series or not is up to you. It is also a bit emotional and can be watched with the family as well, IF you can avoid abuses and one-two kissing scene.😬

👉🏻10/10 For the hard work of all the cast and crew members for 3 years.

I was quiet doubtful before watching as it was unfamiliar and after watching it I became a fan of it. The way story and characters build is just too good. It is more poetic and thoughtful which includes philosophy. It's a gem of webseries and my favourite of all the webseries I watched. While I was going to write this review I was surprised with some comments saying it's too slow and boring. I came to know there are many people who cannot understand and enjoy the art. For those who like feel good movies and webseries I strongly push you just watch it already and thank me later. We are eagerly waiting for season 2.
