Rating:9/10 (1 extra for the patriotic feel the show instills in you and for documenting an authentic picture of the prowess our personnels showed in the mission.) Let's start with the Cons. Cons: The web series has some flaws. The first 4 episodes are quite slow, and I didn't think focusing on the character of Namrota Joshi and her activities was that necessary. The character of the PM delivers some dragged melodramatic monologues, which was a mismatch for the show's otherwise no nonsense attitude. Some CGI scenes (very few) looked fake as well. They could have shown more of the prep and plan in action scenes rather than focusing on the journalism bit that much. Pros: A genuinely amazing take on such a huge event. I liked the matter of fact tone of the show. They have kept the episodes crisp. One of the main characters, Major Videep (Amit Sadh) enters the show after 4 episodes without any clichéd hero entry. Also, the whole troop jumps into action without any major emotional dialogues or melodramatic scenes. That was really refreshing. The movie on the other hand is quite melodramatic. So, the show does a better job. Also, there is no unnecessary love angle in the show. Lastly, as a heterosexual woman, seeing beefed shirtless Amit Sadh was quite a delight as well. 😜
