Bachaana

About This Movie

Bachaana is an interesting blend of romance and thriller, set against the vibrant backdrop of Mauritius. It follows Aalia, a spirited Indian girl who finds herself in a precarious situation. The way she reluctantly puts her trust in Vicky, the Pakistani cab driver, is where the film strikes a unique chord. The chemistry between the leads adds a lightness to an otherwise tense atmosphere. I find the pacing a bit uneven at times, but it keeps you engaged as they navigate through their challenges. The practical effects and location choices really bring the island to life. It’s a distinctly layered story that touches on trust and cultural boundaries, though it doesn’t quite break new ground.

Interesting dynamics between the leads. · Cinematography captures Mauritius beautifully. · Themes of trust and cultural exchange are notable.
