Review

Screenplay

The creator neither over-dramatized the terrorist attacks to instil patriotism nor termed it imaginary. The story also raises many eye-opening questions. Makers have tried to keep mistakes from work, and they have also succeeded in them.

The actual events are in our minds, and we know many details through the episode. From the NSG point of view, the presence is what sets it apart from the rest.

The start of the show is a bit slow, but it gets better with each episode. The narrative also has a mixed media angle. This could have been handled better in the beginning.

Performance

The series includes several actors who have equally important roles, but Arjan Bajwa is the main lead. He is brilliant in the role of Colonel Kunal Sahota.

Arjun Bijlani as Mani is brilliant. He has less screen time, but he is successful in leaving his influence. Shoaib Kabir as Ajmal Kasab is brilliant. Sid Makkar seems overacted. Tara Alisha Berry and Mukul Dev look elsewhere but could not leave any personal impact.

Direction

You can also praise Mathew Leutwyler, the director of this series and he deserves it too. He portrays the entire story well without any flirting. 

Richard Henkels’ cinematography is a significant asset. It’s amazing. The background score is excellent, holding a recurring bit that signifies patriotism.

Should You watch it or not?

Definitely. This is the best and inspiring story shown on the 26/11 attack. This series will give you the feel of Uri- The Surgical Strike due to the fantastic camera work and great music.
