Excellent Storyline
How would you respond if you were asked to kill an innocent person in order to save your family who are kept at gunpoint by an unknown intruder in your house?

That is exactly what this thriller series revolve around. Leading the cast is the ever-so-elegant Tisca Chopra, who marvels in her role as a Doctor who saves lives, but finds herself in a fix when she is asked to kill the Chief Minister of the state, on whom she is supposed to operate.

The series is special for several reasons. Ronit Roy is impressive in his role as a SuperCop and proves once again that age is a just a number. Then Tisca continues to excel in playing classic roles to perfection. The support cast is really overshadowed but the ultimate hero is the story and the plot.

Must watch for suspense thriller lovers, for there are very few of them in Indian Web series market. Do watch it in one go, it's that good!

This Series revolves around the life of surgeon Dr. Mira Anand which is played by Tisca Chopra. The plot actually is that before the night Mira plans to operate on a minister, her family is taken hostage Now she has a choice either to save the minister or save her family. That's what made this series a total #slowPaced . The turn of events leading to the end are also #disturbing . The problem is that every character in the series is not what they seem to be . As a viewer we get confused with so many sub-plots and sub-layering of characters and that made this series super

Hostages ia a thriller that offers nothing new in terms of the story it tells. Tosca chopra plays a doctor who holds the family together during the crises but has no idea about what has been going on under her nose in her own family for a while now. Her husband, Sanjay(Paruin Dabas) is in dire financial straits, her 18 year old daughter, Shaina(Malhar Rathod)is pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's baby, her younger son, Shovan (Sharad Joshi),is a hacker who has leaked his school exam papers only to impress his girlfriend.
The family is taken hostage by a group of ultra moronic and amateur criminals, led by ex-cop Prithvi Singh(Ronit Roy). The captors wants the doctor to kill the state's chief minister when she operates on him the next day. The doctor and her family try all the lamest tricks to get out of the situation.
Hostages is neither very satisfying nor it can be ignored completely. The series concludes with few unanswered questions which might be answered in the second season.

Amazing!
Hostages in an Indian crime thriller web series by Hotstar and is an official adaptation of an Israeli series of the same name. It is based on an intriguing premise that a surgeon and her family are held hostage by masked men to pressurize the surgeon into kill the Chief Minister during a surgery. It stars Ronit Roy and Tisca Chopra in leading roles and they are outright brilliant. They are the soul of the show. The screenplay is at a good pace and utilizes the 10 episode duration. It is difficult to stop when you have begun watching it. The show does not let down the viewers and is an example of what good acting and equally good script can do. This is one crime thriller which should be on your watch-list.

Great - Worth the Expectations!
Great Suspense Thriller which keeps you rooted to your seats from the beginning, Seeing the trailer it eagers you to definitely binge watch this series and is worth the expectations. Loses control in the middle after the first four episodes but brings it back on track with the last episodes. The last episode is fast paced which keeps you guessing what actually happened and makes you to wait to get the answer till the next season arrives. All the episodes maintain the thrill consistently and never gets it down throughout the Season 1. Another Highlight of this web series is the acting, Tisca Chopra (Dr.Anand) and Ronit Roy (Prithvi Singh) has nailed the roles with perfection which even makes watching this series much more interesting.
Overall Hostages is yet another hit by hotstar and is worth watching due to its intense story line and thriller epiosdes.
