Cadets

I saw too much advertising office series over internet and I thought it will be a good one because it looks like that it is going to be armed force or military related when I started watching first two episodes were good and it was looking like that it is going to be better in upcoming episodes but from third episode onwards completely lost the plot and it ended without any point so which makes me question that was what was the point of starting this series it is just about 4 guys who just want to break the rules of the military academy and in the end they just get there medals of completion of training that's it. It didn't meet any sense at all to me to create this series if you don't have any ending please don't create such nonsen series.

Didn't knew much about the series before watching and found it very interesting. Direction and performances are topnotch. Especially Tanay Chheda, Tushar Shahi and Chayan Chopra are quite realistic. Waiting for the second season. Shah Rukh Khan and Fauji reference was lovely. Girls are pretty. More such serieses should be made and watched. Kudos to Jio Cinema to back this project. Manoj Mitra's character is sweet. He exhibits the initial excitement to final achievement flawlessly. Bonding between guys is shown beautifully. From first year to final year, the journey of cadets is inspiring. I will watch the season 2 for sure.

Cadets had the potential to be an inspiring and gripping series about life at the National Defence Academy, but unfortunately, it falls flat due to weak storytelling and lackluster execution.

The biggest issue with the series is its predictable and cliché-ridden narrative. Instead of offering an in-depth look into the struggles and growth of young cadets, it leans too much on stereotypes and forced drama. The character development feels shallow, making it hard to truly connect with their journeys.

The pacing is another major drawback. Some episodes drag on unnecessarily, while others rush through key moments, making the overall experience feel uneven. The dialogues often sound artificial, and instead of immersing viewers in the world of military training, the show feels more like a dramatized version with little authenticity.

While the cinematography is decent, the direction lacks the intensity and realism expected from a series based on military life. The training sequences lack the grit and depth seen in better productions, making it hard to take the challenges seriously.

Overall, Cadets fails to deliver the impact it promises. What could have been a compelling and inspiring story turns into a forgettable series bogged down by poor execution. If you're looking for a well-made military drama, this one might not be worth your time.
