By chance, I found this show on Netflix and after just watching 2 episodes, I find this shows plot and theme to be totally ridiculous.

Crime show, Entertaining, suspenseful, almost realistic and give a sense of Indian culture and the issues with a centuries old caste system. Not for the weak heart.

I haven't read the book and even though these series were entertaining, the level of crassness, inherent bigotry and twisted political views are all too obvious. Not to mention, the ridiculous behavior of the character Sartaj. Acting by Nawazuddin is pretty good as it was in the gangs of wasseypur but does he have to use obscenities in every sentence?

Some parts of the movie might be accurate but majority is exaggerated. Most of the fighting was done by Afghans while US troops acted as advisors and probably provided coordinate for the bombing. This doesn't take away from the efforts played by special forces but a realistic movie wouldn't have made for a fun flick. The biggest issue I have with the movie is the way General Dostum is made out to be some great hero, even though he is a known war criminal and the way he behaved with captured prisoners. This movie is basically a puff piece.
