Baaz (2014)
What a letdown .....
For the past few days there was a surge of clips of some action scenes from this movie being posted on Facebook. Hence I thought it could be a movie worth watching. I searched on YouTube and found the movie dubbed in Hindi.
I found the movie utterly unimaginative and pathetic. Nothing new in the story. Cliched and clueless direction. Only thing unique about actors is that all of them were emotionless and ineffective. The lead actor, as expected, takes the top spot with deadpan facial expressions and lame fighting skills. Only thing worth some good comment is the cinematography.
Shrikant Bashir (2020)
Much better than expectation ....... however ........
The best thing about the series is that it has excellent production quality. Then comes impeccable casting and assignment of roles. Then come performances. Every actor has given top notch performance including those who have played negative characters. The boy from Pune, Gashmir Mahajani was almost flawless throughout. The director has given the required space for all the characters to establish their existence and importance in the story that unfolds over 26 episodes. Major flaw is the existence of a Mumbai police team called Surgical Operations Team. Police force does not do that. Another flaw is that the Chief Minister of Maharashtra authorises a surgical strike in Kashmir and that surgical strike is conducted by a team of Mumbai police and Indian Army's Anti Terriorist Squad and the BSF is shown playing subordinate role in the surgical strike. The ending also could have been much better. The SOT chief Shrikant Mhatre ends up being a cheater and scoundrel. Such unscrupulous characters are not capable of doing real heroic things. Whatever positive image the main lead manages to gain till almost the end of 26th episode gets erased in one stroke at the end.
