Cobra (2017)

Operation Cobra revolves around a brave R.A.W. agent Karan Singh, who has been assigned the high-stakes mission to prevent the terrorist organization ‘Radical Posture Group’ from acquiring and using the Russian nuclear bomb trigger ‘Cobra 9642’, which could put India, as well as the entire world in danger. The spy and espionage thriller concept is interesting, and the resultant fast-paced plot is what keeps things interesting to watch. Some of the twists are good. The story generates suspicion towards one character; however, it surprises you when the truth is revealed.
Gautam Gulati, who makes his web debuts with this series, is a fit in his role as Karan. Navin Kundra, too, plays the comic sidekick Yusuf well in the initial episode.
The plot, although fast-paced and intense, is weakly translated into a screenplay. It is riddled with clichés, plot holes, unnecessary sequences and dance performances. The action scenes could’ve been a lot better. A lot of scenes that require intensity are underwhelming, while focus is given to scenes that should’ve been wrapped up without all the special sound and camera effects. Speaking about the performances, it seems like all the actors playing their characters have walked from an 80s movie set to this one.
Eros Now has some pretty good web series, but Operation Cobra is not one of them.
