It is an extremely well crafted TV series that takes us back to the gruesome events that occurred in December 1999. It is no comfort to again revisit the disastrous manner in which the Atal Bihari led Government handled this event that led to the release of terrorists that included Mohammad Massood Azar Alvi - founder of the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist organisation. Unfortunate reality is that the VP Singh government with the outside support of the BJP had released terrorists after caving in to their demands in exchange of Rubayia Sayeed the daughter of the then Home Minister in December 1989. This film led me to rethink again where and how we are placed in our geopolitical associations with our neighbouring countries. Do we really have a solid policy or it goes by whims and wishes of the politicians and their trusted aides at the top. Maybe we shall in the future be watching the inner toils and tribulations that led to the insane death of 40 military personnel in Pulwama in 2019, . I salute the director Anubhav Sinha and his team and the excellent actors, their support staff for the solid production and the performance that has led to TV miniseries. IC814.

A super- chiller and not to be watched even if performances may be OK. There is no dearth of good things in life and in our environment. I would rather watch such movies than this nasty chiller,
