Mukhbir - The Story of a Spy

The story is straightforward, the soundtrack is fabulous and the actors have the capability to hold the audience through the eight episodes. Spy thrillers are always tricky. It can either keep the audience hooked from the very beginning or the case could be the complete opposite. But with Mukbir - The Story of A Spy it seems the risk was worth taking. It is an immersive espionage thriller with a lot of heart. While the crisp storyline is a bonus, it appears rushed at times. The romance between the leads appears forced. Apart from this, Mukbir definitely appears to a series that has the potential to grab the attention.

'Mukhbir, the story of a spy' is a draught of fresh air in the otherwise dark period of otherworldly drama of smarter-than-thou characters playing out sleezy, outrageously expletive-ridden and often unrealistic roles. Vaibhav Modi and Arshad Sayyed have done an excellent job in writing the screenplay. Doing a period drama entails special challenges, however this spy-thriller series sails smoothly. And enthralls too. Prakash Raj, Harsh Chhaya, Adil Hussain have excelled in living their characters. Zain Khan adds an uncanny charm to the show with his charismatic personality, mischievous smile, euphonious voice and a dialogue delivery that has this 'deliberately casual' attitude making him stand out. Needless to say, he has lived his character to the hilt. Music and lyrics gel well with the show's period. Nuances of espionage, its perils and the grave dangers, crises and uncertainties/vulnerabilities it entails are all meticulously woven in the show. Absolutely, an unmissable series.

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!

This series starts slowly but if you love fast paced thrillers then its screenplay which is slow but graceful may put u little off.

But trust me just sit to watch it when you have time to watch it in one Go. Series will not disappoint you..

Its very similar to the old wine ... Starts giving pleasure after one or two episodes... And it just keep on increasing episode after episode.

The Tension, drama, thrill and romance ... Ohhh what not. But its not modern romance .. it stands true to its time period. The music 'behrupiya, man chaliya' is soothing. Production values are very good, cinematography and direction also impresses.

But keep it in mind its not a fast paced thriller. But if you can keep yourself hooked to 3-4 episodes...you won't be able to stop binge watching it.

& One word for the lead Zain Khan Durrani... Oh My Gooodness....what a fantastic performance. I am in awe of this man's screen presence, charm and effortless face expressions. There is a scene where he cries... Hmmm...that's where u get to see his range. He Deserves Films. Great great act.

Lal Bahadur Shastri ji was really a good prime minister. The series was shown very well but what they can change is in spy story of India and Pakistan not to add so many emotions & guilt on the spy.

Second last episode has too much drama. But the last episode in which Lal Bahadur Shastri ji was very good. Ending was also good.

The lead actor's dialogue delivery was not that good. Every other character was apt and undoubtedly gave their best performance.
