The official Hindi remake of popular Israeli series ‘Fauda’ (translated as chaos) is set in the backdrop of Kashmir.

Tanaav 2 review
As a fan of ‘Fauda’ universe, I was a bit apprehensive regarding how the Indian remake turn out to be. The first season was indeed an edge-of-a-seat thriller. Sumit Kaul as Umar Riaz had set the tone for a gripping series and now Gaurav Arora has taken the show to a next level.
Not to forget Manav Vij, who retains the same intensity. Ekta Kaul as Farah deserves the praise for her stellar performance. Not to forget Rajat Kapoor, whose role as Jagjit Malik reminds me of Captain Ayub in ‘Fauda’.
If you are a fan of espionage and such action thrillers, I recommend you should watch this.
