So first impressions for the show 24.
- Awesome show. Shot like a movie. Got to give it to the director, the camera/angles/different tracks are all inter-woven perfectly well.
- The story has substance. The show will have 24 episodes each spanning 1 hour and cover the day.
- Different tracks are laid very well, Tension in Jai's house with his daughter missing/Marital problems between Jai and his wife/Mole in ATU/Some assassin trained to kill and shoot the prime-minister candidate/some skeleton in the prime-minister's college life and a reporter black-mailing him. Script is taut and has all the thrill elements needed to make the show hit. Very impressed by the way the show was handled in the first episode.
Only negative is they should have really gone for some younger guy to play Jai Rathod. Anil Kapoor has aged considerably and he looks old as ATU chief. Some one like Barun or Iqbal would have given a different dimension to the show. I so wish this opens up seasons format for India and we get short tight pre-shot series every season.
