24

Anyone plz how i watch and download this series plzz??

The Indian edition of the super hit American Series '24' starring Anil Kapoor as Anti Terrorism Unit (ATU) chief Jai Singh Rathod starts pretty well. We learn about the season 1 plot and get acquainted with the principal characters. It all looks very promising with a lot of plot twists in the first episode and a lot character development taking place. At least the first episode made me feel that the 23 following episodes will be interesting. Let us hope the American producers make sure the quality is maintained as regards to script and direction. As we know that in India, TV programming tends to lean towards the farcical side due to poor quality writing and production values and also because the target audience tend to be housewives. What i mean is that there is a plethora of people who actually watched the original series starring Kiefer Sutherland and in one season it actually guest starred Anil Kapoor. Lets just hope that this Indianized version lives up to the high quality of the original. 1 down, 23 to go. 4/5 for this episode.

Anil Kapoor has brought us Indians the staple of US and looks like he has succeeded. The plot, titles, characters & even the whole setup is similar to the original series, but of course with an Indian essence, which actually works both against & for the series.

Having just watched the first episode of the rather suspenseful 1-hour serial, I am quite mesmerized by the crescendos the sequences reach, most of which involve Kapoor. Direction, cinematography & screenplay are catchy & apt for the theme of the plot. Supporting cast (along with guest appearances; Anupam Kher f.e.) duly support in creating cliff- hanging scenes. It's much like reading a thriller book with the best part being the real-time plot. The original series was famous for it, and if the further episodes follow that, I very well be surprised & entertained.

Having told about the experience, the Indian touch always comes as benevolence. With lots of elements from spying to adultery, from office- politics to face-to-face spat - 24 has everything for you to fall in love with it & enjoy, moreover when they know their audience & have improvised in amounts of violence/sex, without introducing stereotypes... The Indian 24 is bold, I must say!

BOTTOM LINE: Highly recommended for it is better than 90% of those shows/serials they show nowadays. Colors channel surely is gonna get high, eh!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES (It does have lust, foreplay in it, but they are mild)

Profanity: No | Sex/Porn: No | Violence/Gore: Critical | Smoking/Drugs: No | Alcohol: Mild

"24" begins with the time duration in which the incidents take occurrence and mind you, one does get a slight feeling that as we are sitting in our couches watching a suspense/drama/thriller TV series, things are happening around us that we don't know of but may affect our times ahead. The notion slips to the back of the mind as the episodes progress, probably because one is so involved with the happenings that the hour seems actually shorter. Relativity, indeed. "24" is a very fine start for an impending paradigm shift on the Indian Television scenario, at least in the Hindi TV series arena. A big, big improvement on the over-used, usual, dominating format of the soap operas and surprisingly, a constant "cliffhanger" consecutively. From the high scale of production to cinematography, from casting to direction - this series is modern and a literal visual "treat". Abhinay Deo (Director 'Delhi Belly') is scoring aces and Anil Kapoor has made good choices, both as the producer and the male lead. Watch it for high octane thrill and a partial sophisticated, partial raw suspense. If you haven't seen it, please do give a try. You won't be left disappointed.

I was waiting for a long time for any such American TV series to come to India. Almost all TV Series of India are filled with crappy and endless melodrama. These nonsense family shows are just a commercial venture that have spoiled our TV cinema. Not even a single of those directors even have some respect for this art and thats why no such serials as 24 came out.

YRF Television brought us some good stuff that were having a limited and nice script and casting was also good. One of my favourite was Kismat http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1848141/?ref_=fn_al_tt_7 . These too were able to reach a limited population because of their late timings.

Now, Anil Kapoor, a great Indian film actor, after playing a small role in American TV Series 24 took step to bring us the same quality stuff. It was a risky attempt but he did a handsome amount of promotion and chose the most famous channel for his show. I would love to thank 24 cast and crew for bringing to us this special series and also congratulate them for its success opening.

After analyzing the 1st episode, I can say that the script is a nice one with a good amount of suspicions and thrills with a few 'Bollywood specific' errors that can be ignored. Casting is also excellent with Anil Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Tisca Chopra and many more good actors. I am hoping for its best in the future and may the public like it too.

It is the way to the Indian TV future.
