Mukhbir - The Story of a Spy

Zain has done a remarkable job. Superb performance by everyone. The story is full of twists and turns but really enjoyable. Better than raazi movie. Must watch web series. The story makes you more connected with your country. It is one of the best depictions of the difficult life of spies. Barkha and zoya have also done a good job. They had very convincing characters. They inculcated the character very well. The villains also played a good role. Quite a good performance. Long time that i have seen such a performance by almost a new actor zain.. He should be considered further for movies and web series.

Im glad I watched this one without waiting for the reviews to be out. Based on true events, is what makes it more desirable. Their attempt is worth a try for us. Those who were waiting for a perfect indian spy thriller are gonna love this. At the start u will feel the lead Zain would not give a promising performance. But he proved to be a new discovery for bollywood after a long time. Good storyline and the music, perfectly sync with the scenes and the timeline.

I completed this in one go. Better than many fictional series' we have been watching in the recent times. The characters based in pakistan, actually did a perfect job and you'll love watching them!

Lal Bahadur Shastri ji was really a good prime minister. The series was shown very well but what they can change is in spy story of India and Pakistan not to add so many emotions & guilt on the spy.

Second last episode has too much drama. But the last episode in which Lal Bahadur Shastri ji was very good. Ending was also good.

The lead actor's dialogue delivery was not that good. Every other character was apt and undoubtedly gave their best performance.

Zain Khan Durrani is such a breath of fresh air. After a long time I have seen an actor command such presence, not just with looks but also with his performance. He was on par with Prakash Raj, Harsh Chhaya and Adil Hussain, all veteran and seasoned actors. The screenplay was very well written and the story unfolded seemlessly. I am glad that in this era of webseries, the real good actors are getting their due appriciation. Ashim Gulati got his recognition in Taj and now Zain has gotten a great platform. Zee5 should keep up the hunt for good scripts, it gets viewers's respect. Now that OTT platforms like Netflix, Prime and Hotstar have become trashbins, its lovely to see an underrated OTT platform like Zee5 are emerging with great concepts and good scripts. BTW, if you have seen Raazi, trust me, after watching Mukhbir, Raazi will seem mediocre.

Anwar Says: It's very difficult to keep viewers sit tight to their seats while watching an espionage drama and the co-director Shivam Nair ( Special OPS fame) succeeded. A crisp- writing and cinematography of the original Kashmir would take you to tone and tenor of 1965 era. The quality of story telling is easily comparable to the hits like Scam 1992 , Rocket Boys and Undekhi.

When the communication was difficult and there was hardly any technology, infiltrating a spy into the neighbor country to dig out the military secrets under the surveillance of Army and ISI was a difficult subject but Zain Khan Durrani played the character so real, well supported by Prakash Raj , Harsh Chhaya and Adil Rashid . One more character the ISI Chief Zaidi , played by Dilip Shankar is also impressive. Durrani is witty and cocky but love for country made him an unsung hero.

A well researched, little more fast paced series is a binge watch and would take you to PM Lal Bahadur Shastri to Indira Gandhi era and would see the birth of RAW. Must find time to watch, 8 out of 10.
