Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil recently commented on the Hollywood movie F1, starring Brad Pitt, expressing that he enjoyed the film but found it to resemble an Indian commercial film in style. Speaking during the promotion of his new movie Maareesan, Fahadh highlighted his appreciation for the film while also comparing it to other racing movies.
Faasil explained that although F1 captivated him, it is not his top racing film choice, as he prefers the film Rush. His reflections came after he watched fewer movies today, compared to the days when he was living in the US and indulged in watching multiple films daily during his younger years.
From Film Enthusiast to Reflective Viewer
Fahadh recounted spending 7 to 8 years in the United States, a period during which he saw many films and dove deep into philosophical studies after switching his college major from engineering to philosophy. During this time, he had access to libraries and met many people passionate about cinema, experiences that enriched his appreciation for movies.
Now, Fahadh watches far fewer films, finding it challenging to finish even one movie in a short span. Despite this, F1 was notable enough to hold his attention recently while he balanced his busy schedule in India.
Comparing F1’s Style and Hans Zimmer’s Music
When asked about the style of F1, Fahadh agreed that the narrative feels similar to Indian commercial films, highlighting its energetic music score by Hans Zimmer. He said,
“I thoroughly enjoyed myself and understand why it’s done well, although I prefer Rush,”
—Fahadh Faasil, Actor.
He expressed admiration for Hans Zimmer’s compositions and eagerly anticipated Zimmer’s collaboration with Indian music maestro A.R. Rahman for director Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious Ramayana project.
About this collaboration, Fahadh remarked,
“I’m excited for Ramayana; he’s collaborating with Rahman sir and that will be crazy,”
—Fahadh Faasil, Actor. He added that among A.R. Rahman’s works, his favorite soundtrack albums remain Thiruda Thiruda and Taal.
The Impact and Expectations from Upcoming Projects
Fahadh’s reflections underscore the blend of global and Indian cinematic influences in today’s films, shown by his comparison of F1 to Indian commercial cinema. His enthusiasm for Ramayana’s musical collaboration hints at a promising convergence of great talents that may redefine Indian film music.
As Fahadh continues to engage in his film career, his thoughtful perspectives on both international and regional cinema provide insight into evolving tastes among actors and audiences alike. His comments on F1 and the Ramayana project signal a growing interest in more ambitious and musically rich productions moving forward.
