An absolute shame!
They say that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Well, you certainly can judge it after its first chapter.After watching just 20 odd mins of 1962: The war in the hills (a series I have been eagerly waiting for), i can say with a lot of conviction, its one of the worst series ever made. It's a blot and absolute disgrace on the great battle of Rezang La.
They don't want to use real names, give a disclaimer that Chinese will be speaking Hindi for ease of understanding (Rip realism & sub titles), don't even bother about the accent of Ahirs of Rewari, have a terrible cast, unrealistic stupid scenes(including a young Indira Gandhi sitting in the war-room while the generals are explainingthe situation to Nehru, Abhay Deol infiltrating a Chinese camp disguised as a Ladakhi milk delivering girl's brother ????); resulting in an insufferable B-grade melodramatic soap opera rather than a war epic.
The makers should be ashamed of themselves. The story of the most epic last man stand deserved to be told in a better way! At least Kesari/Uri standards or maybe Jeet ki Zidd standards (since it's a web series).
If someone has the courage to watch the entire series, do share your review. I have no doubt though that it will only get worse.
Minus 1 out of 5.
score 1/10
