Rakshak - India's Braves

Going into this mini-series, I was wary of the tropes of the genre and its tendency to dwell into mindless jingoism at a mass level - What surprised me most was this show's flawless commitment to tell a story that matters and continue to focus on it. The story brings into account the human cost of war and the bravery that men find within themselves, sometimes almost magically, to do something that defies reality. This is a tight, well paced story with elements of war neatly weaved into what is a human story of perseverance, strength and in the end, bravery. Barun Sobti is fantastic and so is pretty much every cast member, from a tone as well as look perspective. Was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this show and at ~2 hours, it just hits the spot. Highly recommended.

From the very first frame, Rakshak captivates with its impeccable attention to detail, transporting viewers into the heart of the action. The film seamlessly weaves together the lives of our brave soldiers, highlighting their sacrifices, dedication, and unwavering spirit. Each character is brought to life with depth and authenticity, thanks to the exceptional performances of the cast.

The action sequences in Rakshak are nothing short of spectacular. The film showcases some of the most exhilarating and realistic combat scenes ever witnessed on screen, making it a visual spectacle that truly immerses the audience in the battlefield. The cinematography captures the grandeur of the landscapes, adding a layer of visual poetry to the film's narrative.

This is good story but the movie direction is very very bad, Indian Army is being presented in bad light unnecessarily there are lot of mistakes shown in movie which are only due to bad direction Story/ Actors are good but very bad movie direction as the army Major had got various clues 2 hours before attack and could have saved much better but in movie it's shown that he took wrong decisions and went with small team instead of taking more backup , It also shows station master was called around 2 hours before attack but he failed to identify the boxes which were swapped just in front of him This movie is very badly directed internally to show Indian Armed forces in bad light The movie direction should improve going forward else this series should not be watched.

If you love Indian Army web series and Movies you will certainly rate it 10 out of 10 ! But it's not only that when you look at casting , direction , the pace with which movie moves with a consistent pace is something laudable . The story is all about 2004 attack on Jammu Tawi Railway station which would have certainly would have turned out to be a very successful and gruesome attack on India but thanks to our armed forces and police force which foiled the attack and in process Lieutenant Triveni sacrificed his life for us, saving so many passengers in the process! Real stories make you cry , make you feel with lots of gratitude for our brave hearts who just don't worry about anything, which includes their lives, their family! Let us celebrate Lieutenant Triveni!
