Srijit Mukherji Gets on to the Bandwagon of Terrorists and Cops Chasing Each Other

Net sequence are sometimes indulging in tales of terrorism with the standard suspects of RDX, bomb blasts, political leaders being assassinated and dozens of women and men being killed. That is getting a bit jaded and even boring. Can not producers, writers and administrators consider one thing extra nice: a love story, as an example. Or a financial institution heist wherein neighborhood bashing isn’t mandatory. I’m so fed up of sitting via episode after episode with cops or companies such because the NIA making an attempt to nab terrorists, who’re planning enormous blasts. And, what’s extra, everyone knows, how the sequence will wind up with the responsible being caught.

Srijit Mukherji’s Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke on ZEE5 is a traditional instance of making an attempt to promote previous wine in a brand new bottle, solely that this concoction by no means ages properly. And coming from Mukherji – who gave us some attention-grabbing and novel stuff such Autograph, Shahjahan Regency and Vinci Da – I really feel completely disillusioned.

Nicely, what’s Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke all about? It’s about two ladies investigating officers: Regina Casandra’s Kavya Iyer (why would she play a Tamil lady, don’t ask me), who has a younger son Reyansh Gupta (Jihan Hodar) and a mom. The one Tamil phrases they communicate is “amma” and “patti” (grandmother)!. The opposite officer is Mahira Rizwi with Mita Vashist essaying the pinnacle of the NIA at Guwahati. For some unusual cause, she speaks along with her tooth tightly clenched!

The 2 get collectively to crack a rogue, who has bought an entire lot of RDX and has carried out two blasts with one in Assam killing the Chief Minister. He’s planning a 3rd, a a lot larger one in Kerala, and Kavya is making an attempt desperately to cease the third in Kochi. The sequence swings from the North-east and Rajasthan to Kerala.

In fact, it doesn’t take a lot to guess how Jaanbaaz will finish. Nevertheless, Cassandra is attention-grabbing as a police officer who’s posted on deputation to the NIA at Guwahati. She exhibits her steely aspect tackling an ace terrorist. The cat-and-mouse sport she performs is gripping, and the sequence is properly mounted and conceptualised.

The finale is performed on the backwaters of Kochi with an exhilarating boat chase, to not be missed.

However I solely hope Mukherji won’t get on to the identical previous bandwagon of terrorists and cops chasing one another the subsequent time round. We’d like novel concepts and tales, please.
