Zindabaad Review

Zindabaad is a web series written by the well-known name of the thriller genre, Vikram Bhatt. The show is about an ex-RAW agent turned security agent, best of his time. The show’s initial episodes present the heated and angry behavior and persona of the protagonist, Arjun Vashisht toward the children of the nursery school that runs on the ground floor of his apartment building. His stony exterior hides a lonely yet loving heart which harbors love for the children. This is where the story takes turn, when the local train of Mumbai, the mode of travel for the children blasts up killing all the children. The news delivers this as an attack by the terrorist group Fauj-e-azaadi. This pushes Arjun to go back to his RAW days as he threatens to kill the leader of the group. And so he does. The thing that displeased me about the show was its lack of the realism factor by showing Arjun as the undefeatable human. He is shown to be fighting a large mass of officers whilst being injured himself and still manages to defeat them single-handedly. Heroic much? The soundtrack of the show is amazing and so is the star cast that delivers their scenes with absolute ease and perfection and the show that wakes the patriot in you
