This lady is so unaware of realities and didnt see that Anubhav Sinha disrespected his own country

[navienmarwah]

Well said Mr Sengupta. You have struck down the attempt of India Today anchor to defend Anubhav Sinha.

[MrRk]

The most idiotic debate I have seen.

1. That lady should not have been invited. She clearly is a Hindu phobe. Did I hear her say there is Hindu Terror and that is a possibility?
2. The first priority in a hijack is to bring the hostages safely. The standard idea that you do not give into terrorist demands is stupid. It is what you do post is what matters. If you build a reputation of hunting them down, you will find that to be as effective.
3. Rahul Kanwal thinks they should have stormed the plane. That is the most stupid idea unless you know exactly where the terrorists are located and have a way to hit them before there is too many casualities. The question is how many is too many? One is too many. So storming the plane is a bad idea.

Have some sense fellas. This is not a series worth watching. I am certainly not going to.

[idioticstuff]

I don't understand why she has to mention that she is a Hindu and a Brahmin ?? Was that a question ??

[shails]

Rahul Kanwal are you serious, It was ISI plan. you have no ideaa and am shocked at your knowledge

[shails]

ANubhab and Netflix are making money at the cost of security and integrity of India

[Indus]

This Bhardawaj lady wannabe actor has only one point - I’m Brahamin and I don’t have a problem with Hindu name without understanding the context😅

[ramjosyula]

Hindol Sengupta is right. Rahul Kanwal could be called one of the mischief maker.

[Ranjit]

Rahul why don’t you interview Anubhav & grill him the way you tried Dulat & Kanchan Gupta! I know you don’t have the guts. Sur Tan Se Juda Hoga

[sriranga]

Why this film producers given Hindu names to hijackers instead of Muslim names they could have given real names of the hijackers who are all Pakistanis

[sameerchaturvedi]

Series based on past events should be evaluated primarily on factual grounds rather than through the lens of contemporary perspectives, which are often influenced by hyper-nationalism. This black-and-white approach hinders our understanding of complex realities.

The series' portrayal of terrorists using code names like 'Doctor, ' 'Bhola, ' 'Burger, ' and 'Shankar' aligns with documented facts, reportedly listed on a government website, possibly the Ministry of External Affairs.

While I found the series to be decent, it didn't reach the quality of 'Patal Lok' or 'Family Man.' The hype surrounding it was excessive.

Veer Sanghvi's article in The Print highlights several instances where the series failed to accurately depict the involvement of the ISI.

Given these factors, it's essential to understand the filmmakers' research methods and how Anubhav chose to portray the real-life experiences of the hostages. While creative liberties are acceptable, it's crucial to avoid distorting facts. The disappointment expressed by Mr. Sharma, chief steward, suggests that the series may have been rushed and lacked sufficient research

[jiti]

After watching the series my observations: 1) Nick names correctly shown ( confirmed by passengers and Mr Sharma the Crew head of that flight) but real names not shown at the end credits, , that is hiding the facts they were all Pakistani Muslims 2) downplaying the nightmare faced by the hostages Imagine the horror they faced 3) ISI involvement downplayed 4) Confusing part real names are shown that of Captain and Afgani Ext affairs minister Mr Muttawakil but Indian Ext affairs minister name changed? why? also CO pilot changed from a Sikh to Hindus? why?

[Canada_Kasthuri]

First of all it is wrong to say right vs left. It’s a web series based on true story and how can you make it drama! Better you name it something else, there won’t be any backlash

[BoltaMann]

Pathetic & Shameful replies by Former Raw Chief -- Much could have been done in Amritsar -- Govt. and Agency failed ..

[muktaashok]

Rahul.. what's wrong with you? You are unnecessarily asking Raw Chief repeatedly same questions!!!

[siddusaik]

Very Unprofessional to even attend and share more information on the case !!!

[jiti]

Question is Why the director did not disclose at the end that the 5 were Muslims, , , no body saying that the code names shown are false

[jiti]

Creative license cant be misused specially such an horrible situation

[muktaashok]

Rahul. U r asking wrong questions today

[samg]

And who is this lady actress? Why is she talking on behalf of who? Talk about the last statement on ISI, what's that about please explain. And if its not fact may air india should sue them for using thier airlines code ic814.
