Afwaah

A slap and a hard hitting reality movie. Hopefully the filmmakers and all cast will be saved..if you love a reality based movies on almost very close to real events, you will love this. Beware of viral videos and especially the one by trolls! That's the message. It didn't really require big film stars but of course the star power does matter to attract filmgoers. Love the actors, all are my favorites and it was amazing to see Nawaz in this different genre.

Do watch with an open mind you will get the message what it wants to convey, otherwise for a dimwit, it will be seen as just a propaganda or one sided narrative.

"Afwaah" takes viewers on an intense and thought-provoking journey, masterfully capturing the tumultuous atmosphere of communal tensions and political machinations during a crucial election period. With a captivating storyline and strong performances, this film offers a timely reflection on the fragile fabric of society and the personal struggles that arise amidst chaos.

Director Sudhir Mishra skillfully weaves together multiple narrative threads, delving deep into the repercussions of communal riots between the Hindu and Muslim communities. The tension is palpable from the opening scenes as the government's imposition of Section 144 reveals the gravity of the situation. The pacing is well-crafted, maintaining a sense of urgency and never losing its grip on the audience's attention.

The film's ensemble cast delivers stellar performances that breathe life into complex characters. Sumeet Vyas Impresses as Vikram Singh, a political figure torn between his ambitions and moral dilemmas. His portrayal beautifully captures the inner conflict and the consequences of his choices. Equally compelling is Bhumi Pednekar as Nivi, whose escape from an oppressive situation becomes a catalyst for her personal growth and determination.

The movie effectively explores the dichotomy between personal relationships and political aspirations. The relationship between Nivi and Rahab Ahmed, portrayed with authenticity and chemistry, adds an emotional layer to the narrative. Their evolving bond serves as a symbol of hope amidst the chaos, highlighting the resilience of the human spirit.

The film tackles pertinent issues such as social media manipulation, religious polarization, and political opportunism. Through Vikram's spreading of the love jihad rumor, "Afwaah" shines a light on the dangerous consequences of misinformation and the impact it can have on communities already teetering on the edge. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of responsible media consumption and critical thinking.

Visually, "Afwaah" captivates with its evocative cinematography, skillfully capturing the city's unrest and the characters' emotional turmoil. The use of color and lighting heightens the tension, effectively reflecting the growing societal divide.

While "Afwaah" excels in its exploration of these relevant themes and delivers a gripping narrative, there are moments where the complexity of the story may overwhelm some viewers. However, this can be seen as a testament to the film's ambition in addressing multiple layers of social and political dynamics.

In summary, "Afwaah" is a compelling and timely cinematic experience that delves into the depths of communal tensions, personal struggles, and political maneuvering. With its strong performances, impactful storytelling, and relevant themes, the movie holds up a mirror to society, leaving audiences contemplating the delicate balance between truth and perception.

The movie is all about small town politics and how people suffer due to political agendas and rumours

The trailer was very promising which forced me to watch this movie but the deliverance was very low and was lost..the main content was rumours which spreads through social media for personal gains but the whole movie cannot be run only on small contexts so they added another elements like murders riots which failed to give a strong effect to the movie

Nawaz was wasted but his character was good and Bhumi for a change was good.

Iam a follower of Sudhir Mishra anubhav sinha and Nawaz..the combination was very strong but they failed hoping to see a super strong movie next from these guys.

Sudhir Mishra saab's filmmaking is ageing like an old wine. The story is extremely well written, doesn't slack, and the climax is amazing. Movie is under 2 hrs runtime, so doesn't allow for characters to form too well as you would see in a longer film, but it never shows in the midst of the fast paced flow of the film. All performances are great. And although it feels one sided at times, it is as true a reflection of the times we live in as one can get. Mishra saab doesn't hold any punches and shows it the way it is. As Anurag Kashyap has aptly put, which I won't try to improvise, an absolute banger of a film!

Reality Story, Best Direction..... One Afwaah destroy Our Relationship.

Every Heart Person Watch this Movie.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui and the actor once again steals hearts with his restrained performance yet delivering the much-needed impact. Bhumi Pednekar shines with her bold and cocky attitude, which contrasts sharply with Nawaz's demeanour. Sumeet Vyas skillfully portrays a power-hungry politician. Sharib Hashmi and Sumit Kaul, play evil characters capable of everything from fabricating an attack to slaughtering people as part of their devious plans. Their performances are simply outstanding.
