Plot gone awry
Salaakar had the potential to be a gripping spy thriller but falls flat, resembling a clichéd Bollywood drama lacking depth or seriousness. Compared to polished series like Fauda or The Spy, its approach feels amateurish, with a weak script and implausible plotlines. For instance, the Indian diplomat casually snaps photos and roams sensitive areas without caution, even while close to Zia, defying logic. The direction lacks finesse, and the narrative collapses under its own weight. Ultimately, Salaakar squanders a promising premise, delivering a disappointing missed opportunity.
