One ignorant person has claimed that Bangladeshi people are upset because the movie was not done by their own film industry. That isn't the case at all, it's a matter of RESPECT. Respect includes not profiting off of other's misery and misfortunes. Not a single Bangladeshi person was involved in this project nor was anyone asked if this movie could be made. This is quite clear as the dialogues are in a complete different language! To me the message that is being said is "I'm going to make a movie off of the victims but they don't get to choose whether they want it or not." Not all tragedies need a reenactment and that's just simply a notion that all film makers need to accept.

You might be wondering the low overall rating on imdb for this movie , its not because the casting, cinematography, acting etc is bad , its because the bangladeshi people (people from the majority religion) are "BUTTHURT" on the amount of realism in the story , they cannot digest the fact that people of thier community commit crimes like these and are only trying to white wash it by calling it fictional , non hindi , bollywood but the truth will never change , you can clearly see in the reviews that no one will explain Extremist Jihad mindset thaught in madrasas but still call it fictional movie.

Superbly insane and standout-the nutshell phrase to describe the entire movie. Faraaz is a movie about a brand young boy who fights against the false image holders of Islam. Musafir Ko Ghar Hy Jana Hai-this song is an entire book of emotion in itself. Jumping other than that, was also the same power the story showed. I liked how Bollywood once again brought up diverse set of characters, location and story setting. Which is also set on a true event. The drastic event of terrorist attack took place in Bangladesh. Movie did not try to make stereotypical Bangali characters but instead showed the country in a secular light with Dhaka being the metropolitan, fast forwarded city with high skyscrapers and locals who are secular rather than carrying a strict set of ideologies. They were shown well educated and modern. Plus point for this. A Hindu chef, foreign diplomats, Americanized teenagers who use F word in each sentence and live without code of boundaries, an accused punk rockstar and a highly responsible and brave mother. My favorite character apart from the protagonist was his mother. Her first appearance was enough to make you see her entire upcoming personality in the film. Her love for her child was so genuine. The weak point in the movie was that when the terrorist thing happened mother was hot headed rather than emotional, which suited her best at the given situation and she acted that later but not in the initial period of that situation apart from the cool head-ness of the officers carrying cup of drink and smoking made the terrorist attack feel like not-a-biggie-bro. But else was professional. Now comes the debate and my favorite part, Faraaz doing fracas with those brain-washed teens who were the antagonist. He said, "Muslims boys with Hindu names, you don't get your identity from your religion solely, you also get your identity from your culture." And the way he tried to make argument that how does his faith does not encourages war and that the opposite party is being traumatiz-ingly brainwashed to believe that killing innocents means fulfillment of their obligation towards their faith that they have failed to learn wholly. This was educating in itself and to bring this logical argument in a form of debate in a Bollywood movie is what I adoringly want. This creates vast opinions and open mindedness. The last speech that mother gave for her dead son Faraaz was emotional and the same time encouraging in a sense that how bravely Faraaz fought for the righteousness.

The intention of this film was good, to show us the story of Faraaz, a boy who stood by his friends in tough times of a terrorist attack at Holey Artisan bakery (2016) and also challenges the terrorists of their interpretation of Islam.
But my first question arises is that we have many films in India based on the same topics so why do we need a story from Bangladesh made in india? I am not complaining that bravery stories should not be narrated . We must know their stories but my question is, have Indian films covered up the stories of all bravehearts in india ? Have we run out of Indian bravery stories that we now have to look for more in other countries? In that case, we might just see some bravery story being made in India based on some American guy or some Israeli guy etc etc. I really didn't get this entire thing.
Second question, the film is based in Bangladesh but everyone speaks in pure Hindi with not even one Bengali word or even a tinch of Bengali accent in their hindi language . I had to slap myself twice to remind myself that this film is not set in Delhi but in Dhaka. This is unbelievable. Hansal Mehta has absolutely not given any effort to reviewing the fact that some Bengali words or accent should be present in the dialogues. He assumed if we incorporate Bengali probably noones gonna understand the language when one section of Indian audience itself is Bengali.
Third question, why is this film at times unintentionally funny? Such a terrifying event taking place and we have terrorists and even the police outside exchanging dialogues that sound funny. The police outside itself is shown as a joke doing nothing and only getting killed by the terrorists.
Fourth question, the film is named Faraaz but our boy Faraaz is just a side character in this film. Isn't that weird? I mean Aditya Rawal, the lead terrorist gets the maximum screen space and Faraaz i believe gets a screen space of ...at the most 15 mins and the film is 1 hr 40 mins long. The director is clearly unsure who the lead of this film should be. If the film is to be based on Faraaz , then i would suggest anyone veiwing this film to just see the first 20 mins and the last 20 mins that's it. The remaining 1 hr is just terrorists roaming around doing nothing and the police running around... doing nothing .
Aditya Rawal definitely seems a good actor. The boy who plays Faraaz doesn't get to show much but still seemed good in those last 20 mins.
Overall, this is a film which should have existed in Bangladesh than in india but what can we do? Since it's made now in india, we can't reverse it. You may watch it on ott to witness Faraaz 's story but his story itself is so short that it hardly had any impact on me atleast and on top of that, the execution of this film is also extremely average topped with some jarring decisions like not to incorporate an iota of Bengali in the dialogues.... certainly not Hansal Mehta's top work.

It is a good attempt to make a film about this horrible event. However, as the film producers are making this one for commercial purposes, they have altered many actual incidents and made it suitable to watch and enjoy like a thriller movie. For a Bangladeshi viewer, who knows the actual facts, it is difficult to watch this movie considering the actual event in mind. Therefore, if you told this story as fiction and altered the name and natural places, it could be acceptable for many viewers. To mention the good part, everyone, like the actor, director and sound engineer, did their best. Personally, I couldn't enjoy the movie with biased storytelling and altered factual events.

The movie showed various perspectives of such a tragedy. It showed what crazy ideology is shared to brainwash the people. It also did well in showing the incompetence of everyone involved and the result of it, be it the police, the pm, the hotel owner, terrorists or all the people involved. Which further shows the realism of a such incidents.
The movie was also super inspiring and touching at the end. The best part for me was the perspective of the hostages post the incident, the shock factor it leaves. The movie did well to cover how such incidents affect people's psyche.
Overall it was well presented and acting of some of the characters were superb.

"Faraaz" is an incredibly moving film that tells the harrowing story of Faraaz Ayaaz Hossain and his bravery in the face of hate and terrorism. The movie takes the viewer through a series of events that lead to the tragic loss of Faraaz and his two female friends in one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in Bangladesh's history.
The recreated scenes of the attack are chillingly realistic and will leave the audience feeling an intense range of emotions, including fear and horror. The conversations between Faraaz and Nibris provide insight into the extent of brainwashing that some individuals are subjected to in the name of religion, and the resulting violence and loss of innocent lives.
Director Pratham Mehta handles the film's subject matter with an incredible amount of sensitivity, carefully balancing the gravity of the situation with the need to pay respect to the victims and their families. The co-written story by Ritesh Shah, Kashyap Kapoor, and Raghav Kakkar does an excellent job of keeping the viewer engaged throughout the film, making it a powerful watch.
The cinematography by Pratham Mehta is nothing short of stunning, capturing the chaos and devastation of the high-end cafe as it was ravaged in just a matter of minutes. The movie does include some bloodshed, but it is done tastefully and effectively, leaving a lasting impact on the viewer.
Overall, "Faraaz" is a poignant and emotional film that will tug at your heartstrings and make you think about the true cost of violence and terrorism. It is a movie that deserves to be watched and remembered for its powerful message about the importance of standing up against hate and extremism.
