IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack

IC 814: THE KANDAHAR HIJACK is adapted from the book 'Flight Into Fear' by Captain Devi Sharan and Srinjoy Chowdhury. Adrian Levy and Trishant Srivastava's story is significant as many know only the overview of the episode and not the details of it. Anubhav Sinha and Trishant Srivastava's screenplay (additional screenplay by Nikhil Ravi Shankar) is gripping. It is informative but not boring and has a cinematic appeal. Anubhav Sinha and Trishant Srivastava's dialogues (additional dialogues by Nikhil Ravi Shankar) are conversational but also sharp in places. Anubhav Sinha's direction is effective. He uses a no-nonsense approach and gives a treatment that one sees in Hollywood period thrillers based on true events. Despite so many tracks and characters, he doesn't let the narrative turn confusing.

Spread over six episodes, the series has a compelling narrative which keeps you on the edge.
