The Story:

F.A.L.T.U is a romantic flick that was shot mainly in Mauritius. The movie tells the story of a student, portrayed by Jackky Bhagnani, who can't get into college so he decides to open his own university. The plot borrows from Steve Pink's 2006 Hollywood film Accepted with Justin Long, Jonah Hill, Adam Herschman, Lewis Black and Blake Lively about a lazy high school student who fails to get in to a university and sets up the South Harmon Institute of Technology. The comedy is supposed to be a satire on India's current education system.

What Worked:

The story of F.A.L.T.U may not be entirely original, but this crew was able to put a lighthearted spin on the satire about India's educational system, while still leaving the audience thinking about the issue at hand. The script has some great jokes and the final moments of this film bring the right amount of intensity. With Remo as the director, the film packs in a few great songs and an impressive choreography - all in the right dosage.

What Didn't:

There are a few moments that take this film from relatable to unrealistic and absurd; the movie is supposed to entertain, but reality should not be lost. The script lacks certain scenes and the energy and impact fall flat.

Slated or Rated:

F.A.L.T.U is a comedic movie with a great message, impressive cinematography, exciting choreography, and new faces we hope to see more of. We suggest that the youth go out and catch this film because it is geared to them and they will enjoy the F.A.L.T.U ride.
