Tanaav

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. Production was good there seeing movie Good good message there movie army base India.

Excellently shot in picturesque locales. A thrilling series of plots & intrigue. It tells a tale of cause & rise of militancy in the beautiful valley of Kashmir with alleged vested political interests of the local leaders & across the border groups. How the youths were influenced by the ongoing situation.. It portrays the sufferings of the local population in difficult times & their sympathies with the disoriented groups encouraged by the outsiders. It also portrays the difficult times faced by local population and suffering faced by the security & intelligence agencies along with local population. The unity amongst locals is a treat to watch. At times the atrocities by agencies is also touched upon. The acting at times is too amatuerish though.

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.

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.
