Netflix Bows to Government Pressure Over IC-814 Series

- Netflix’s ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’ series is a chilling portrayal of the longest hijack in Indian aviation history, directed by Anubhav Sinha and starring Vijay Varma, Naseeruddin Shah, and Pankaj Kapur. - The series delves into the unanswered questions surrounding the hijack, including why Kathmandu was chosen and the role of Rupin Katyal, making it a must-watch for its engaging storytelling. - With a stellar cast, the series stands out for its responsible and well-researched narrative, avoiding unnecessary dramatization and focusing on the real events of December 24, 1999. - Vijay Varma’s portrayal of Captain Devi Sharan, who saved 187 out of 188 passengers, is particularly noteworthy, showcasing his ability to connect with the audience without resorting to typical heroics. - The series also highlights the diplomatic challenges and the psychological impact on the hostages, including instances of Stockholm syndrome, making it a comprehensive and thought-provoking watch.
