Good to see a TV series in India that's not a bad rip-off of another US' TV show. When i first watched the teaser of 24 on Colors i just rolled my eyes and thought here goes another one. If you're familiar with the History of Indian television you would've thought the same. But not judging a Book by it's Cover i thought of giving it a chance and it turned out pretty well.It's much more than a cat mouse chase.
First things first I haven't seen the US version of 24.
Now let's go through pros and cons of this Show:
1.Its Plot is good as it seems.Plans to assassinate the future Prime Minister of India ,Aditya , and Jai Singh Rathod and his team just got 24 hours to stop it. Race against time gotta make it a Thriller.As long as Indian telly Creative team doesn't Tamper with it.
2.The Cast of 24 is looks Decent. Anil Kapoor rules as ATU Agent ,Jai Singh Rathod. Tisca chopra (Rathod's Wife) is a good actor there's no doubt about that.Neil Bhoopalam the "almost" Prime Minister of India didn't miss to steal some moments as well.All others acting matches the situation so far as well.
3.As we see this show's for family (Colors is a Family Channel after all). The Action's not gonna be that Awesome but still bearable.
4.There's some pretty decent Twist and turns so Tension gonna get on your nerves sometimes.But to be honest most of the time it's the clichés that will be on your nerves.The Injection Scene,The photographer's Id snatching were dead obvious.Let's hope this Continuity doesn't ruin it.
5.Character developing is the factor that i am gonna stick to this show for some more episodes.I mean the Pilot episode was solid because of this.
I hope this show get some big-hit responses so the US TV shows creators and Indian creators can collaborate some more shows for India.
All in All there's is nothing like this on Indian telly now-a-days. If you like Thrills n Chills Give it a try you might like it.
