Totally riveting and entertaining. Anyone who bemoans that online cinema is too much TV style and not enough like Hindi movies, will love this series.
A brilliant Hindi potboiler of a series !
And it was refreshing to hear quotes from Shakespear sprinkled through out the episodes.
And thankfully the production team has not degenerated the entertainment value of the series by resorting to 'reality stuff' as underpinning of the content.
The series falls somewhere between Agent Vinod and Phantom. It has lesser production values than Tiger Zinda Hai, but the action sequences are total time pass.
The simplistic screenplay and plot help to introduce new-comers and entry-level audiences to the content, context and locales of more sophisticated fare like Body of Lies and et al.
However since War has raised the standards for spy movies and action thrillers for Hindi movies, Series 2 has a lot of upgrading to do.
The plot is straightforward and clear, but the ending was still a bit of a surprise, and reminded me of Goldeneye.
The main villains were too much cardboard type of Hindi movie villains.
Imraan Hashmi kept his head, and was clear about how to pitch his role in line with the low level of sophistication of action sequences and screenplay.

Such a silly movie with a silly plot, silly characters and silly dialogs.
But I never enjoyed a movie more, and never before was I so engrossed in watching John Travolta on the screen.
Truly the difference is in the acting.
Travolta single-handedly turns this silly movie into a delightful movie.
Its a Travolta show all the way. All the other actors would have sunk with the movie if it had not been for 'Chili Palmer'.
Travolta proves he is a brilliant actor. He actually manages to show that a brilliant actor needs absolutely no support but can actually sustain a movie on his own.
No other actor has been able to do this, ever.
