An absolute masterpiece, portraying the true architects of our freedom struggle. As the film-makers have told us in the tagline, this is the history that we should know. I would go one step further and say that this is the history that we, as a nation, NEED to know, especially in today's times when the true Fathers of our nation are being ridiculed, vilified, blamed, and stripped of all the credit they deserve.
The series portrays the struggles behind Partition, how the Congress, as a whole, tried their utmost to stop it, how the Mahatma did not compromise with his ideals till the very end, how the League tried (and ultimately succeeded) to extort a Nation merely based on the inferiority complex of their leader, and how selfish the British truly were.
My salute to the Director, Mr. Nikhil Advani, and to Sony LIVV for bringing this important piece of history to our screens. My salute to the casting director for being so spot on with his/her casting choices!
Overall, one of the best and most important web series that I have watched. The ending, as well, makes me think that there could be another season of this showing the horrors of the actual partition and the aftermath, especially the contribution of Sardar Patel in the accession of princely states and the vision of Dr. Nehru during his tenure as Prime Minister.

A wonderfully created web series by Netflix. Bravo to Anubhav Sinha and his team.
Great performances throughout, especially by the members of the negotiating team. For me personally, Arvind Swamy stands out as the suave and diplomatic 'DRS'. Vijay Varma, Manoj Pahwa, and Kumud Mishra also deserve a lot of credit.
Coming to the story, it is quite authentic to the official versions available to us and it was a nice touch to intersperse the episodes with real footage of the incident.
The only con, I would say, is that the series could have been slightly longer and focused more on the actual interaction between the hijackers and the crew/passengers.
Other than that, a brilliantly created series. Hoping for more of this from Netflix and other OTT platforms.

Brave...Bold.... Thrilling.... Brilliant
All apt adjectives to describe this web series. Bold, fearless story-telling coupled with phenomenal performances by the cast. Many congratulations to the director and BBC Studios India for making this utterly brilliant web series.
Led by the masterful Jaideep Ahlawat, who stands out with his mannerisms, expressions, and poise, the entire cast, including the talented Shriya Pilgaonkar as a young, sometimes brash journalist/activist intent on changing the world, has turned in an excellent performance. Special mention to the ageless and inspirational Sonali Bendre.
My only gripe? The ending to Season 2 makes me think there won't be a Season 3 and that would be a shame because this was so damn good!
