Faadu - A Love Story

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 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.

This is how to put a well written story into screen.

I loved every part and narration part is just wow.

Saiyami kher you just spread magic on screen, on every moment and a natural performance.

Paval Gulati made me surprised, nice acting A wonderful work by Gulati.

They both hooked and makes it engaging.

I will not say wow about the web series just because they stretched it a bit and thats the con of the web series.

The loved the Song - Saath.

This webseries is relatable for some & shows Ups and downs of life(Mumbai life)

But overall it was nice watch.

What a work - itsbymayank Review of Faadu A Love Story.

Faadu-a love story is a romantic series directed by ashwiny iyer tiwari.

This series is poetry in motion. Lines are incorporated in this series' folds and breaths. That's what makes it imperfect and beautiful.

Pavail gulati and saiyami kher share an affectionate chemistry between them. They compliment each other really well. Abhay has the fire in him and manjiri is the river that cools him. Pavail gulati has given a standout performance this time, he has the vulnerability and also the restlessness of a dream. Manjiri wants a simple life, she wants to live through a poetic life. Abhilash thapliyal too packs a solid punch. Girish oak, daya shankar pandey, shishir sharma do the required. The performances are commendable.

The screenplay is a life journey. Various characters cone and go. Not everyone is worth remembering though. The arc of ratan kinkhabwala is an interesting one, while that of anant udeshi is not so much. A gangster with a soft conscience is much more interesting than the corporate mundane business. The episodes at the fag end do stretch the series a bit. It had to be edited in a better manner.

The music in this series is fabulous. Saath is soothing with some fantastic words. Mushkilein too is a wonderful addition to jazz aura. The bgm consists of strings being heavily used and it conveys the poetry beautifully. Santhosh narayanan has created a beautiful music score.

The cinematography successfully builds up the class differences. It romanticizes slum and also villainizes it at the same time keeping a n equilibrium. The philosophy is clear. In the quest of monetary success, one fails to differentiate the power of money buying things and the power of money buying you.

This is one of the few series which you'll remember for a long time for sure. The story is really interesting and you'll start loving it from the beginning itself. The theme song of the series is so close to my heart and whenever the song appears in the series that makes you fall in love with the story and the couple.

The casting couldn't have been any better in my honest opinion. Various supporting characters have been appeared in various situations of the story and all of them managed to do well and make a great impact on the audience.

Talking about the main characters both Pavail Gulati and Sayami Kher have probably given their best performance ever, the story had a lot of potential but a lot of credit to them for the successful execution to the story and Sayami Kher as Manjiri was really so cute and not to forget the amazing performance of Abhilash Thapliyal, he has shown his versatility in acting.

Now moving on to the direction, Ashwini Iyer Tiwari has hit it out of the park with her outstanding directing skills, which you'll notice in her every project and the series wouldn't have been this good without her.

Overally a must watch and you'll surely love every bit of it A Faadu Love story indeed.
