Mukhbir - The Story of a Spy

Anwar Says: It's very difficult to keep viewers sit tight to their seats while watching an espionage drama and the co-director Shivam Nair ( Special OPS fame) succeeded. A crisp- writing and cinematography of the original Kashmir would take you to tone and tenor of 1965 era. The quality of story telling is easily comparable to the hits like Scam 1992 , Rocket Boys and Undekhi.

When the communication was difficult and there was hardly any technology, infiltrating a spy into the neighbor country to dig out the military secrets under the surveillance of Army and ISI was a difficult subject but Zain Khan Durrani played the character so real, well supported by Prakash Raj , Harsh Chhaya and Adil Rashid . One more character the ISI Chief Zaidi , played by Dilip Shankar is also impressive. Durrani is witty and cocky but love for country made him an unsung hero.

A well researched, little more fast paced series is a binge watch and would take you to PM Lal Bahadur Shastri to Indira Gandhi era and would see the birth of RAW. Must find time to watch, 8 out of 10.

Im glad I watched this one without waiting for the reviews to be out. Based on true events, is what makes it more desirable. Their attempt is worth a try for us. Those who were waiting for a perfect indian spy thriller are gonna love this. At the start u will feel the lead Zain would not give a promising performance. But he proved to be a new discovery for bollywood after a long time. Good storyline and the music, perfectly sync with the scenes and the timeline.

I completed this in one go. Better than many fictional series' we have been watching in the recent times. The characters based in pakistan, actually did a perfect job and you'll love watching them!

Zain has done a remarkable job. Superb performance by everyone. The story is full of twists and turns but really enjoyable. Better than raazi movie. Must watch web series. The story makes you more connected with your country. It is one of the best depictions of the difficult life of spies. Barkha and zoya have also done a good job. They had very convincing characters. They inculcated the character very well. The villains also played a good role. Quite a good performance. Long time that i have seen such a performance by almost a new actor zain.. He should be considered further for movies and web series.

Mukhbir is very nice.

The main lead actor 'Durrani' is a raw talent, maybe people will not like his acting but personally I loved it.

The whole work is appreciable.

BGM is not that good.

The Details of work is good and hard work is easily seen in the web series ,It's a Raw Work.

I loved the Song 'Chhaliya/Behrupiya' and Humse to wo Behtar hai. I can hear it on loop.

Prakash Raj and all Characters are good.

I love Adil Hussain always.

Barkha Bisht completes the story with her presence.

I must say Dilip Shankar Sir you rocked whenever you come on screen and your character is just another level sir, intense. Wow it is.

I watched it because of some names in it - Sir Shivam Nair, Prakash Raj, Adil Hussain made me watch this.

This project must go on.

• Review of Mukhbir A Story of a Spy.

Review by itsbymayank.

It's an underdog ! Don't know why people aren't talking about it. Hope they make season 2. It had a great plot and flow, one will not get bored while watching this. Nice direction and acting as well. If someone wants to watch thriller series similar to Family guy but less drama and more story - they will be happy to see this show. The story revolves around 1962 era of india and Pakistan and how things unfolded during the war and the contributions made by the spies to shorten the days of war and also the life of a spy and the hardships one Has to go Through. I hope this all Will Be enough to make People watch this.
