"America main ho tho phenomena, possibilities pe research. Hamarey India me ho...." Just this dialog was the best part. The script was not well researched. Many flaws in worm-hole, space-time continuum, Grandfather paradox. It was clearly visible by the complete series that the script-writer was "Just" the scriptwriter and he/she did not do well research given it got released after loooong time of it's announcement . I found dialogs, Acting (All the Ace actors of Hindi and Bangla industries), direction (specially cinematography) top notch. But story, script, fiction started completely shattering since the last 10 minutes of 2nd episode. It definitely could have been much better (even better than "Dark"). But Alas! They were panning to finish it in 4 episodes only. They just simply interconnected all the characters mingling with time swiping. And when climax came, the whole script was broken in micro-pieces on the screen. Now, don't tell me we appreciate only western sci-fi . I loved Cargo of Vikrant Massy and Shweta Tripati . The one of the ( if not the )best movie made in recent time. They had proper character ground. In this series, except Shantanu (Abhay Deol's character), not a single character was having deep motive (Subroto (pankaj kapur ) had some, but that too was not established properly. The story centres were completely in sudden to finish. I guess It was half hearted but good intentional try. 2 stars just for the awesome cinematography and brilliant acting. But story and script did the most damage. I am really sorry to say that.

1st. Why only 4 stars?: Two reasons:1. Being writer in mind, I predicted a few twists very very early. 2. Climax felt a bit far from reality. 2nd: Why 4 Stars: ● Acting of all the actors (specially Abhishek Mishra very less appreciated. He had 5 dialogues in total of 9 episodes. But awesome expression and gestures, spontaneous acting) ● Direction and narration: Since I caught the twist very early, I was watching it for story telling. And oh! What a way! It made it much gripping. ● The story is weaved in such a way, it will disturb you. Because while watching , you'll definitely correlate that same thing's going on as well. So it will make you uncomfortable. ● Courageous move to show it in these days. ◆Justification (not needed, but anyways) to those who saw their own face in the mirror and started hating this series: ● Nowhere it is hinduphobic. Yes, it has instances of investigation where protagonist takes extreme . But in the same instance he says to his muslim colleagues "main ghaw dunga, tu marham lagana". In one more instance, a hindu officer is taken preference over the same better talented muslim officer (which happens in police department). In one scene a muslim boy is lynched for the misunderstanding of beef. Tell me did not it happen? In a few places (counted 4 times) it is stated "Inki community". What's wrong in that? Tell me honestly, have most of people not said this to a muslim person? Total counted 11 to 13 scene. But not a single scene shows hindus in bad light. ● A leading politician's last name is Bajpayee. It hurts many bhakts. (To be honest nobody would have loved Atal bihari vajpayee jee more than me). But understand that it is just the last name. ● A false killing story of journalist. I don't know why people are connecting it with Indrani Mukharjya. Both are poles apart. ● CBI being puppet of the government. When cogress was governing, CBI was bad. And suddenly in BJP era CBI became the most clean organization! We heard the tussle between top 2 officers of CBI in 2019 , 1st time in 30 years. What's wrong in it? You can mock the 1st economic reformer of India (Dr. Manmohan Singh) in a feature film. But can't put any governing body in grey side, even though it's the demand of story! While western movies show their president kidnapped, corrupt, bad etc etc. ● My whatsapp feed is filled with muslim hatred by my own friends. They "are taking " revenge of Pakistan's activities on cross border by scolding, humiliating indian Muslims. I bet these guys would definitely not like this series as it is a mirror for them. ● Showing police, politician, media currupt is not acceptable. Asking questions to establishment is not acceptable. Showing Child rape is not acceptable. Showing failure of system is not acceptable. Then what story should they show? Unrealistic love story? Metaphorical sex between flowers? Unrealistic highly ethical family(which does not exist at all. Every single family has issues)? Or the college story where every thing happens(sports, dance, party, sex) but study? Then people ask why Indian makers are not creative. They are not creative because we indian audience has no guts to digest authentic stuffs.
