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.
