I just saw this film and I believe it is a very well-made film for the most part, the story is of an Indian woman who was unfortunately trapped in Mosul, Iraq during the ISIS takeover and the film deals with how the woman, played amazingly well by Nushrat Barucha, deals with the situation she is stuck in. The entire focus of the movie is Nushrat, she carries the film completely on her petite back and is a perfect cast for the role, her amazing acting skills shows how she feels shock, fear , is vulnerable, helpless and is at odds with such a terrifying predicament. The movie is for the most part at a good pace, slowing only in the beginning with some lackluster music , the characterization is very good, the actors chosen to be militants is very authentic and real, and the dialogues are absolutely real, requiring translation in a few places which the subtitles show. The movie is only 2 hours long and is not a slog and the main antagonist is the Israeli actor from the famous series Fauda, Tsahi Halevi, who does an amazing job. The main friend of the protagonist is Nishant Dahiya, who does a great job at portraying emotions through his character of Rafiq. The movie is on an important topic as well, a real life story and goes to show how terrifying life can be for human beings in such conflict ridden areas and the sadness about how cheap human life can be for fellow humans driven by dangerous politics and ideology. All in all, Akelii is a good film and is carried by an absolutely terrific acting performance by Nushrat Barucha and is a well made film on a sad but true aspect of human society.
