    The script, the directing, and most importantly, the lead actor's performance, are all excellent

    The script, the directing, and most importantly, the lead actor's performance, are all excellent. The ending isn't satisfactory. The quick looping of the camera can sometimes cause blurriness. The importance of the circumstances that prompted the creation of this representation cannot be emphasized. Nushrat has amazing stage presence. She has consistently given impressive turns in her cinematic roles, but this one stands out. For quite some time, I've been anticipating watching this movie. This role would be ideal for her to demonstrate her acting skills. The director did a fantastic job tying together all the disparate parts of the story. Don't miss this if you're into top-notch Web series; it's the height of cinematic perfection. Careful consideration was devoted to each individual character.top notch web series.

    War's destruction and the fear it inspires are depicted here. Critical debates

    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 well made film about a woman stuck in a hostage situation in Mosul Iraq and is carried by an absolutely brilliant performance from Nushrat Barucha

    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.

    Reasonable and compelling points are made. Nushratt Bharuccha always gives genuine, top-notch performances. As the plot progresses, so does the tension.

    There wasn't a bad act among the bunch. The director did a great job conveying both the human cost and the environmental devastation of war. Reasonable and compelling points are made. Nushratt Bharuccha always gives genuine, top-notch performances. As the plot progresses, so does the tension. An intriguing account of a normal Indian girl caught up in the violence and chaos of Iraq. Extremely poignant, especially the parts showing the real horrors of war. It was a nice way for me to relax on a Sunday. It's unparalleled in its ability to hold your attention. Its reasonablle and compelling points.

    Nushrratt Bharuccha needs to go back to drama swchool

    The story of an Indian women caught up in the cruelty of the Islamic State. With its barbaric treatment of women, would have been great, had it not been for the film director failing to properly direct the movie''s star.

    In the first part of the film, Nushrratt Bharuccha utter fails to rise to the challenge of portraying and expressing emotions. Her acting is fake and unconvincing. Her face when the scene calls for showing pain, distress and anxiety is very poorly acted, in fact her mimic and facial expression are at best that of a trauma student who has failed the second course in drama school. It just is overacted, put on, and unconvincing. Having a very pretty face is is no substitute for great acting, which a serious film, such as this one, calls for. It is a great pity that the director was not able to bring out a better performance from Nushrratt Bharuccha.
