Much Better than US Version - Page 3

Yeah you're actually right. I've seen the original show too and I'm honestly not a big fan of Indian Crime shows but this one is really good. Not sure what you mean by the cosy indian feeling but nonetheless, I am with you on this one. It's fab!

24 is all set to be a gamechanger...And rivals are already feeling the heat..as CID is now promoting their OTT Crime cases in different manner...

24 should have been the standalone show in india instead copying the same storyline. Saying that its better than Original is an Insult to the original show. The Character turmoil, character arc, character development...is far superior in the original show. Jack Bauer as a interrogator, drug addict, killer of his own squad, sacrificer, Sutherland is far superior in acting wise than Anil Kapoor. People are going to take offense to that, i don't care becuz i took offense to this. 24 (Original) is far superior than every show ever put on Indian television combined. There is no comparison.

Given that a fact

Anil Kapoor has talent. He has rigid personality. If there is anyone who has the guts to take on a character like this its him, Pukar (Film) is a testament to that. I just don't want them to lose focus and make it this show into a soap opera. Anil Kapoor and Mandira Bedi give hope to this show. I am a HUGE fan of the Original Series. All i can hope they do justice to this Genius show.

Jack Bauer is a unique knid of character who cannot be replayed by anyone else apart from kiefer sutherland 😳 ...he is way more charismatic...he does not lack emotions instead he can control then and deal with the hardship first...anil kapoor is a very good actor but JACK IS JACK 😉 and he cant be over-emotional 😕

and to say its better is a insult to the original version 😡

I have not seen the US version..:)bt compared to Indian tv show standards .24 is really amazingg nd fast paced..⭐️1st 2 episodes were damnn good!!!:)

Well said
promote this show in all forums of Colors shows

👏👏👏 Couldn't agree with you more!!!!! The Indian version has got off to an amazing start & I am looking forward to next week. However, I'm glad they have stuck to the original storyline...given a chance to unleash their 'creativity' we may have seen JSR dancing around trees with Nikita Rai

That said, in my eyes it is no where close to the original US version! You've hit the nail on the head with the lines I have highlighted above.

Keifer's Jack Bauer was cold, ruthless, almost inhuman as an interrogator, but yet very vulnerable in the moments when you see him being torn between his duty & family. The dead tone of his voiceover (when introduces each hour) and specially the way he says "I'm Federal agent Jack Baur & this is the longest day of my life" chills you to the bone

In my opinion, Anil Kapoor's Jai Singh Rathod is too emotional for Jack. Anil Kapoor acts well, but needs to keep his expressive face & eyes in check

The turmoil within him, his obsession with his duty, his inability to put anything ahead of his work...that is Jack Bauer. Hope in time to come, JSR will be able to do justice to the epic role.

As far as the other charcaters are concerned, they have failed to make the impact I wanted. Mandira Bedi as Nina Myers will be ok I feel. But Tej as Tony Almeida is unimpressive, Gill as George Mason is a thumbs down...Mason was an arrogant ass, but not antagonistic like Gill seems to be...and what pains me most is Aditya Singhania...the actor is good, but the characterization pains me. Whenever we have any political figure, we just cannot look beyond Gandhis. Aditya, Naina & Divya are obvious images of Rahul, Sonia & Priyanka Gandhi.

Sherry & David Palmer were a force to reckon with in 24...I cant see that potential here in Singhanias.

Maybe I am too critical...maybe I should give them time...maybe...
But since they are playing around with my all-time favorite show, I am skeptical & also, somewhere determined to be disappointed😆

wel said.. i am also a huge fan of original 24 series... jack, tony & mitchell are my most fav characters. tony was one of those very few ppl who were trusted by jack with his life. Tej sucks... didnt like the way he act... he is way too artificial.. for this tej person pls dont introduce indian version of mitchell..

Sherry n david palmer were also one of the best characters in the original series.. i don think singhanias will have such impact like david & sherry.


but hats off to anil kapoor.. bringing such an amazing show in indian tv.. bravo!! n his acting skills are gud too.. yes, very differnt from keifer's jack.. i hope AKs JSR WILL BE unique in its own way..
