Faraaz

Faraaz (2023) is an Indian thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Hansal Mehta — known for Scam 1992 and Aligarh — reconstructs the night heavily armed militants locked down a popular Dhaka café in July 2016, taking hostages in an attack that shook Bangladesh and drew global attention.

Aditya Rawal plays Faraaz, a young man who happened to be inside when the doors shut. Zahan Kapoor and Juhi Babbar round out a cast working with almost nothing — no action setpieces, no score to cushion the tension. The film's center is a single decision: what do you do for the people beside you when the cost is everything?

Mehta trusts the documented facts to carry the weight. The result is a restrained, suffocating 112 minutes that doesn't try to explain evil — it just shows what one person chose to do in front of it. Stream Faraaz on iFILM.
