A new chill n thrill flavour

BP Singh's Fireworks has finally grown up and beyond CID. The first episode of Sony's Akela was pacy, laced with good dialogue and some crisp acting, though lead Sudhanshu Pandey could do with some more use of his facial muscles. Nevertheless, he's convincing as the cop who comes out of eight years of coma and discovers his new talent - that of being able to converse with the dead. If the pace holds and BP is able to weave some interesting plots in, there's no reason why Sony shouldn't have a solid weekly slot in its armoury.
