BLUF

Two Intelligence Officers from the Surgical Operations Unit of the Indian Intelligence with different moral radars and opposite views on operational tactics need to work together to deliver for the safety of the citizens of the country,

THE MEAT AND THE POTATOES:

A terrorist organization based out of Pakistani Controlled Kashmir is looking to play havoc with innocent Indian citizens by introducing a deadly strain of the Ebola virus through drinking water into the city of Mumbai. Before executing that, they strike deals to supply the antidote of the same virus. This is the story of the SOT wing of the Indian Intelligence and its officers in Mumbai who try to not only figure out who the criminals are but the personal dynamics between the two officers to conduct the operation.

IN THE ZONE

A 26 series marathon of good content, fairly good direction, and a lineup of good actors can never go wrong. The thriller establishes the premise between the two actors in lead roles -Yudhishthir Singh ( Bashir Khan) and Srikant Mhatre ( Gashmeer Mahajani).

By the end of the 26 episodes, the winners are clear. The two rising stars of the web world are now the good-looking hunks Gashmeer and Yudhishthir but what really works for the series is the handling of the war of wits and ideologies between them. The on-screen chemistry between these two is phenomenal. A winning cast.

One of the most talented actors that have arrived with this series is Mantra. In his portrayal as the cool villain, Parker he is quite sexy and presents an attractive version of an international terrorist. His entire act is a winner from the start. Bad boy wins hearts.

FWAR

The SFX, action sequences, pace, cinematography, and the pace of the thriller are great. We missed a good background score for the action sequences. Somehow a Sitar vaadan does not quite make a thrilling ambiance.

You feel the gut-wrenching emotions with the sub-plots and do want to keep binging the show episode after episode. Only if Sony LIV were directly available on better platforms. Its presence on a very user-unfriendly Sling app in North America is a pain.

The sets, the streets of Mumbai, the office camaraderie are all depicted quite effectively, and the entire cinematic flavor is visually appealing and backed by a good solid script.

WHAT WE LOVED: The story, the actors, a good solid script and a believable action series.

WHAT WE MISSED: Better background score, ( like SCAM)
