Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke

Review Jaanbaz Hindustan ke webseries of 8 Episodes on Z5 by Srijit Mukherjee.

After well picturized the beauty of Northeast in Anek by Anubhav Sinha, now mesmerizing locations of Meghalaya beautifully captured by Shanu Singh Rajput in Srijit's Jaanbaz Hindustan ke. Generally Bollywood makers neglected beautiful locations of Northeast.

Story line, dialogues are nothing extraordinary or exceptional, but script is well written. Directorial part is excellent as expected from Srijit. Cinematography by Shanu is beautifully crafted, specially chase sequences in Kerala brilliantly using the drone shots. Music side is weak.

As usual flawless performance by Chandan Roy as we have seen in Panchayat both Seasons. Leading role of Regina Cassandra, Meeta Vasist, Gayathri justified their character authentically. But the show stealer is Sumit Vyas, brilliant execution by him in interrogation scene in last episode.

I will give this series 3 star for beautifully shoots at Meghalaya and for casting. Though I am fan of Srijit Mukherjee, but no 5 star.

This series started well but after few episodes lost its continuity. The second episode was really disheartening. It started with a political meeting in Guwahati and the glimpse of Bihu dance was shown. Being an Assamese it was really sad to see that the dance was shown was not proper...It's a folk dance of the people of Assam and it should have been presented well if not perfectly. Right after that I felt like quitting it. But still continued expecting that may be the rest episodes would be better but it was like presenting the same old story of terrorism in a new way. The first episode shows visuals of Tura and it is very soothing to the eyes of the viewers,then glimpses of Guwahati and then Jaipur,Kerela,everything is very attractive but the ending missed something. Something felt like the ending it was expected and the last three episodes were made in hurry. Else this is a good series but cannot claim to be somethingextraordinary. Streaming on Zee5,it can be a one time watch series.

Very good plot and fast execution that keeps you hooked & must say, quite an underrated series. It doesn't bores, keeps you intrested. Not every attack could be prevented, shown in this series while in most of others,every attack gets prevented which is not practical. Best thing was the final episode dialogues of sumeet vyas, quite relevant to understand the strategy and mindset of some enemies of India. Shows our agencies and many unrecognized heroes do continous hard+smart work to protect us who are never known & also their family sacrifices without overdramatizing it. Though name of web series should have been better one, this looks cheeky and actual content is much better.

Some said that hindi of main lead was not proper, the character is an IPS iyer from south and most have similar accent so it's character demand. Most of actors were good especially sumeet vyas. Along with courage on field, brains(IT guy) should get recognition too which was not shown.

All in all, happy to see this series,found last few series on terror attacks a bit overdramatic and another good thing is female lead is shown as IPS, on field action officer but not much of feminism angle was imposed in it like some of recent such series with female leads(show discrimination or comments by colleagues or people based on gender). Here main lead is an IPS officer passionate for country and duty irrespective of gender. So that's a welcome change.

Rest don't want to give any spoilers, there are no major twists but pace of story keeps you engaged, so go for it.

Jaanbaaz hindustan ke is an action serues directed by srijit mukherji.

Regina cassandra looked impeccable in 'the rocket boys' but i have to say she is a limited actress. Her dialogue delivery was inarticulate, clear that she was having problems with her hindi. Sumeet vyas, on the other hand, outclassed everyone, especially in the final episode, where he flaunts his wicked and disgusting thoughts. Mita vashisht and barun sobti were good. The actor who played reyhansh was brilliant but his character being told to call himself as reyhansh while speaking did not sound good at all.

This is a very commercial approach, so does not have the required nuance to execute certain sequences. For eg:-the action sequences are very amateurish, and the actors too were pretty slow and clumsy. Some dialogues are just for spoonfeeding purposes. The screenplay is uneven. There is no chemistry between kavya and sameer. The family arc goes for a toss when the stakes are raised. There is no character depth. We cannot feel anything for any character.

The background score is good and unnecessary at certain places, while being completely out of place in some other instances. The cinematography is normal. There was a conscious effort to differentiate between meghalaya and rajasthan through the use of colour. The dance of bihu was just a joke, executed so badly. At least, hire some authentic assam -born dancers.

Now coming to its philosphy. It showed the real instances. There are many muslims who are working day and night for this country, salute to them but there are also some of them who are enemy to the very idea of this country and are extremists. They are being brainwashed regularly, which has to be kept in check.

I rate it 7.

Web series review: Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke streaming on Zee5 #sanjuzzreviews #ZEE5 #JaanbaazHindustanKe #ReginaCassandra #MitaVashisht The story starts off with RDX being smuggled into India via the porous Bangladesh border in cement sacks. A sinister group of highly motivated terrorists hellbent on creating mayhem in the country and how the NIA races against time to stop them.

The story is fast paced & engaging moving from Shillong to Jaipur with the climax finally happening in Kerala.

A great star cast with Regina Cassandra as the protagonist (NIA officer Kavya) along with Mita Vashisht , Chandan Jha, Barun Sobti who play the good guys pitted against the antagonist duo of Sumeet Vyas & Gayathrie (Tariq & Thasleena respectively) have done fabulously with their well scripted roles.

Unfortunately this series has been quite underated. I would highly recommend it as a bingewatch worthy option this weekend.

The are a few over the top moments, but overall a decently made series!!

Going with 3/5 stars for this one .. Adios 🙂!!
