ICARO Media Group
In the recently released web series, "Indian Police Force," viewers are taken on a gripping journey as a group of dedicated cops hunt down a terrorist threatening national security. The series, directed by Rohit Shetty and Sushwanth Prakash, showcases intense action sequences and a thrilling cat and mouse chase spanning multiple cities.
The story centers around the Special Police Unit of the Delhi Police, led by Kabir Malik, played by Sidharth Malhotra. On Delhi Police Raising Day, the National Capital is struck by a series of devastating blasts. Kabir, along with his team members Vikram Bakshi (Vivek Oberoi), Rana (Nikitin Dheer), and others, is entrusted with the responsibility of apprehending the mastermind behind the attacks, Zarar aka Haider, portrayed by Mayyank Taandon.
To add an intriguing twist, Zarar takes shelter as a paying guest at the residence of a mechanic named Saeed (Lalit Parimoo), who remains unaware of his guest's nefarious activities. Saeed's daughter, Nafeesa (Vaidehi Parshurami), becomes infatuated with Zarar, oblivious to his true identity. As Zarar plans his next operation and attempts to escape the clutches of the police, tensions rise, and the stakes become increasingly higher.
"Sandeep Saket and Anusha Nandkumar's well-researched story sets the foundation for an intense narrative," states the review. The screenplay, also penned by Saket and Nandkumar, provides an intriguing backdrop for the gripping action. The dialogues, written by Saket, Nandkumar, Ayush Trivedi, Vidhi Ghodgaonkar, and Sanchit Bedre, add an extra layer of authenticity to the characters, showcasing both normal conversations and sharp exchanges.
The direction by Rohit Shetty and Sushwanth Prakash helps elevate the series, ensuring that the audience remains invested in the fast-paced chase. Filmed with grandeur, the directors give the web series a larger-than-life cinematic feel. Notable scenes that stand out include Vikram bravely handling a live bomb, the chaos in Firoza Nagar, and the adrenaline-pumping action in Goa. The last two episodes of the series are regarded as the strongest, leaving the viewers on the edge of their seats.
While the series showcases exemplary action sequences, some reviewers felt that it lacked any unique twists or surprise appearances from characters within the cop universe, a hallmark of Rohit Shetty's previous ventures. However, the series compensates for this with its engrossing storyline and visually appealing cinematography.
The performances of the cast receive praise, with Sidharth Malhotra delivering a convincing portrayal as the action hero Kabir Malik. Vivek Oberoi impresses in his limited screen time, while Shilpa Shetty Kundra makes an impact despite having lesser screen presence. Mayyank Taandon effectively portrays the antagonist, and Vaidehi Parshurami steals the show with her exceptional performance as Nafeesa.
The series features three songs, including the catchy 'IPF Theme.' The other two songs, 'Bairiya Re' and 'Koi Aayat,' are relatively forgettable but shot beautifully by Sneha Shetty Kohli. The background score by Amar Mohile heightens the tension and adds to the overall mass appeal of the series.
Girish Kant and Raza Hussain Mehta's cinematography truly shines, with spectacular aerial shots enhancing the visual experience. The production design by Swapnil Bhalerao and Madhur Madhavan brings authenticity to the settings, and the costumes by Navin Shetty, Mehek Navin Shetty, and Laxman Gollar lend realism and appeal. The action choreography by Sunil Rodrigues, along with Rohit Shetty's action design, stands out for its thrilling sequences devoid of excessive violence.
Overall, "Indian Police Force" bears the unmistakable stamp of Rohit Shetty's directorial style and is projected to attract a significant viewership due to its abundance of action and the director's renowned name in the industry. The web series offers audiences an action-packed and engaging narrative, keeping them hooked until the very end.
