    Made me wonder about safety

    This movie has made me wonder about the safety of the breweries and eateries in Bengaluru, and other places, which can accommodate hundreds of people, whther they are prepared to handle terrorist attacks such as the one shown in the movie. The movie was average. I liked the meaning of the name Faraaz and the message given in the end. However, I couldn't connect to the movie. The events in the movie were not organized properly and it was like grabbing pieces from here and there and clubbed together. The movie could have been better directed. It is a one time watch movie and should be watched without much expectations.

    Lame

    So funny. Bangladesh Police is talking in hindi wearing the official uniform of Bangladesh Police. Sarcastic for that specific police force. So lame.

    In Bangladesh, another movie maker named Mostafa Sarwar Farooqui directed another movie in same topic that is named as "Shonibar Bikele" or "In the afternoon of a Saturday". But the sensor board did not permit him to publish this movie due to some reasons which is really a matter of sorrow. And they appealed to release the movie before months whereas he is still waiting to release it. But bollywood has made it done by making this unrealistic movie on the topic of anothercountry. This is very funny.

    Intense but very basic...

    Hansal Mehta always has a good hand when it comes to crime drama film specially when it is based on true events. Plotline of this film is very good specially the tension between the hostages and the terrorists are the highlights of this film. But apart from that there is nothing that has been shown after watching the whole film it looks like there are several details that director hasn't shown specially with the government sector in the storyline. Story feels very basic and mixture of various crime drama film because there are various aspects that has missed and director could've easily show the second side of the government process and the terrorist organisation. Performance was good by the lead and it'll keep you hooked. So all n all it's a one time watch if you love crime drama serious film than you can give this film a try....

    Not entirely sure what the role of the film's namesake is.

    These are real events and most people who read about what happened in the upscale cafe in Dhaka, Bangladesh know what happened and how the events unfolded.

    Naming the movie after Faraaz, the brave, idealistic young man who stood by his friends when terrorists threatened their lives, would perhaps have been a smarter choice if he actually had more of a role in the movie. Most of his scenes have been spent shaking in pain or holding his friends in fear, with little to no actual dialogues , which does make sense in a realistic scenario of what people would do if such a situation arose, but perhaps does not make for very entertaining viewing. The best actor by far, is Aditya Rawal playing the main terrorist Nibras . He is shrewd, darkly funny and very very believable.

    Totally misleading from the actual event.

    This movie made upon a real story but barely followed the actual story. Totally disrespectful to the people died in this event and to their friends and family.

    Even this movie is poorly made, just an shameless attempt to make money by using the name this sensitive issue.

    For this reason, one of the victims (Abanti) family filed a complain in the Supreme court of Bangladesh and the court banned this movie from all Cinrma and online platforms. That's proofs that this movie is not legally nor ethically okay.

    Another fact is Bangladeshi police talking hindi in this movie! What a joke! No Bangladeshi talks hinfi to themselves. The movie maker was so confused about what he is making!
