Brings us back to the days of partition. A beautiful period film that depicts the trials and tribulations of the partition. The hesitation of the girl to select the most suitable boy with whom she wants to spend the rest of her life. Religion does come into play but ultimately the girl choses the boy who loves her the most without having any prejudice or pretence.

Fauda was recommended to me by my friend and thankfully so, because I on my own wouldn't have ventured out to watch it. The name Fauda is unfamiliar to English speaking viewers because it's an Arabic word for Riot or Chaos. Fauda is a powerful and action packed portrait about the curse of terrorism in general and it's impact on the lives of secret services agents, their colleagues and family members (especially children) in particular. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter depending upon which side you are viewing it from. In war, there are no winners, only losers. Wars and conflicts play havoc in everyone's lives, the attacker as well as the victim. It converts normal human beings into demons. It ignites a never ending chain of revenge and counter attacks. The biggest casualty of such conflicts is none other than humanity itself. It appears we are victims of circumstances that are beyond our control. We are nothing but puppets of the Political games being played around the world. The question is what for? Fauda effectively compels you to introspect and find answers to the above conundrum. So far three series have been released on Netflix and in all likelihood, more sequels may follow. The story revolves around the lives of a anti-terrorist unit of Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). They conduct various missions inside Palestine. Heavy losses are sustained on both sides but being an Israeli series, the IDF unit has an upper hand. Although they are professionals but there are goof-ups. The highlights of the series are that its: Fast paced Ruthless Gripping Realistic Balanced Love and betrayal Very well Directed Superb acting by every character Outstanding cinematography Last but not the least, Emotional. My rating 5/5.

A lot of people may be able to correlate their life incidents with this film. Love is indeed illusive. In life, there are many one sided affairs. Very few lucky people actually do find both sided love affair. Of all love types, perhaps the best love that you emotionally enjoy is the Platonic love. This movie successfully describes what platonic love is. It also makes you aware of the differences in love and lust. It's an intense film that has some beautiful songs.
