1 Star- Was this the worst thing I saw? NO. But the expectations that I had from the marketing, a Manoj Bajpayee film the series utterly and completely disappoints. I wish I could get my time spent on this back. >Is it a good thriller? NO. Does not keep you on the edge of your seats, infact I completed the series jut for the sake of completion, not because the thrill/suspense kept me wanting to watch the next episode. Manoj Bajpayee did not seem appropriate for the role of a secret agent taskforce. Even though the director tried to showcase a small brawl of tiwari (manoj bajpayee) in a road rage incident to display his combat skills, but overall in all the action scenes (there are not much) or even chase sequences Manoj falls short drastically of the expectation that one might have regarding the fitness of such a character. The characters are highly uni-dimensional, case in point Pasha (kishore) who plays a NSG commando security officer only ever keeps a stern/angry face throughout any mission, it was almost a pain to watch the action sequences of the web series. There were innumerable instances throughout the series where the acting of the characters was childish or naive at the best. You could clearly see how the dialogue delivery seemed absolutely fake- in the sense that after watching those scenes you clearly come out of the environment/world set by the series and instantly jolted out of it and can notice in plain sight how these are just actors delivering dialogues in front of a camera. Overall the acting and the dialgoues make it seem like these are college actors performing first time on the stage. It also be partly blamed to the narration and dialogue writing, which make some scenes so obviously forced that I as a viewer was pained to see such interactions happening between characters.
