It masterfully strikes a balance between emotion and action, avoiding the pitfalls of melodrama and staying true to the story's essence. The pacing is impeccable, with moments of high-stakes tension expertly interwoven with quieter, more introspective scenes that reveal the characters' complexities. This gripping thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish, thanks to Nushrratt Bharuccha's powerhouse performance as Jyoti, a strong-willed and determined young woman caught in the midst of a war zone.
The direction is succinct. The supporting cast shines, with Tsahi Halevi delivering a chilling performance as the ISIS supreme commander. While some creative liberties have been taken with the story, ir leaves a lasting effect. Reminded me of 'Not Without My Daughter'. This movie is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and courage in the face of overwhelming adversity. A great watch.

I just saw this film and I believe it is a very well-made film for the most part, the story is of an Indian woman who was unfortunately trapped in Mosul, Iraq during the ISIS takeover and the film deals with how the woman, played amazingly well by Nushrat Barucha, deals with the situation she is stuck in. The entire focus of the movie is Nushrat, she carries the film completely on her petite back and is a perfect cast for the role, her amazing acting skills shows how she feels shock, fear , is vulnerable, helpless and is at odds with such a terrifying predicament. The movie is for the most part at a good pace, slowing only in the beginning with some lackluster music , the characterization is very good, the actors chosen to be militants is very authentic and real, and the dialogues are absolutely real, requiring translation in a few places which the subtitles show. The movie is only 2 hours long and is not a slog and the main antagonist is the Israeli actor from the famous series Fauda, Tsahi Halevi, who does an amazing job. The main friend of the protagonist is Nishant Dahiya, who does a great job at portraying emotions through his character of Rafiq. The movie is on an important topic as well, a real life story and goes to show how terrifying life can be for human beings in such conflict ridden areas and the sadness about how cheap human life can be for fellow humans driven by dangerous politics and ideology. All in all, Akelii is a good film and is carried by an absolutely terrific acting performance by Nushrat Barucha and is a well made film on a sad but true aspect of human society.
This was a pipe dream till Nushratt Bharuccha made it so. She's got great acting chops. War's destruction and the fear it inspires are depicted here. Critical debates. The story is riveting, and the writing is excellent. In general, the story is fascinating. How it feels to be an average Indian girl in the middle of the conflict in Idaa. It seems really alien as well. Try to find time to drop by. You should watch it right this second. That's a brilliant plan of action. The story makes sense and has some interesting elements. Just looking for more resources won't cut it. Excellent work! The story is riveting.
A young Indian woman fights for survival in a war-torn nation and is at the story's center. A vivid depiction of a harrowing struggle to stay alive. There is no way to make this setup work better. The performance of NushratBarruchha kept playing in my thoughts. She's always been honest and open. She made a good case in her presentation. The director deserves appreciation for a job well done. If you find his work to be impressive, please tell others about it. I absolutely enjoy this film and have seen it several times. Personally, I'd put the number at five. Never a dull moment, that's for sure! Your mind will be completely blown. The director deserves depressions.
Superb writing, directing, and acting, especially from the protagonist. The ending falls short of my high hopes. The camera's constant panning results in blurriness or low lighting in certain scenarios. The fortuitous circumstances that allowed for the creation of this picture are readily apparent. Nushrat is a very skilled performer. Her usual dedication to each and every role is admirable, but her work in this picture stands out. Looking forward to this movie much. In my opinion, this is the most exciting role she has ever played. The director did a great job of bringing everything together. The most seminal film in history, and a must-see for fans of web series. Each individual is well realized, and the directing is superb. Its is a superb movie.
