Faadu - A Love Story

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is no doubt one of the best Indian television series i hv seen and believe me when i say it coz i hv seen hundreds of them. I loved every part of it everyone has done superb acting on their part and lip looking forward for the next season. Spectacular dialogue delievery and everything is perfect at first i only saw it's trailer and i immediately knew i has too see that loved it so so much and the actress siyi she is beautiful and she has that calm and the strength the characters carried throughout the series was impeccable i can strongly recommend this at any point of my life as one of the best.
