The show starts at the same pace like most Indian defence/ intelligence shows..but what you notice soon is unlike most Indian shows this one definitely has someone looking and validating the details.

From using foreign languages in dialogues, accurate uniforms of countries, real weapons(well mostly) and also creating a decent overall flow is pretty good. Also the story is fairly grounded,the general dialogue delivery is fairly crisp..none of the usual Bollywood drama.

Definitely a good watch and a pleasant change from the usual commercial shows being staged these days in the name of national pride.

Ok, so the series is a solid entertainment. Outstanding storytelling, the thrill and suspense, emotions. Everything is top notch. It has written Neeraj Pandey all over it. Fast paced yet so realistic. Damn, this man knows how to cook spy thriller elements properly. Once you start watching you would definitely wanna binge watch all of the episodes. But that's where comes the brilliant minds of Hotstar. I seriously don't understand what are they trying to do. Just give us all the episodes at once. Or if you wanna wait then give us a 1 month window. But NO, hell they didn't even give us release the date for the last three episodes.

After watching all the episodes i can say that it was beautifully presented. There aren't any unnecessary cringy action sequences like many other spy thrillers. The suspense was well cooked and the plot was interesting. If you love spy action thriller then it's must watch..

Neeraj Pandey does what he is best at ! Very detailed and no nonsense approach...This season sets the premise for the upcoming thriller in next season can't wait for it...

It's very good creative decision to just have few episodes in this 1st season as it builds up the required anticipation of viewers and get them ready for the next ..

The plot is unlike what we normally see, but yes it has a rescue mission in it however there isn't unnecessary Chauvinism. Everyone here has just played their role to the extent required no over the top performances or drama... that's again very good

Kudus to the entire team...

The series boasts of an impressive cast featuring Mohit Raina, Kashmira Pardeshi, Sushant Singh, John Kokken, Navneet Malik, Gauri Balaji and Anupam Kher. The series has been adapted from the book A TICKET TO SYRIA. The titular protagonist is Avinash Kamath played by Mohit Raina who is seen as a former police officer who now works as a mercenary. He sets out on a mission to save a young bride called Aliya who gets embroiled in Syria where ISIS terrorism is on the rise.

As per the trends go, the series catches the essence of patriotism and suspense. As someone who has read the book, I am not disappointed with the series.

What a series it was- I did not get a single moment to miss any shots. What I am very happy is to see that now, we have made some series that actually looks world class. We now outside the usual India-Pak espionage type story. Its a must watch- different level of stroy, great screen play and scenes. Overall it felt like watching hollywood series. Eagerly waiting for next 3 episodes... Characters looked so world class and not usual bollywood type. Good to see collaboration with premium world Intelligence agenines Mossad, CIA, RAW, IB, ISI etc, I mean in story. Its a must watch, looking for similar more movies, series to come.
