Bollywood Crazies Opinion: This series has been brilliantly written and that is visible in all the 8 episodes. The background music throughout the series and especially the intro is something that you will love to hear again and again. Now coming back to the actors, Jim Sarbh and Ishwak have played the best ever role of their life, as it will improve their career by miles. Both have given their best shot in every scenes which is why it looks so rich and meaningful. The romantic love life of the two have also been explored in this series without hurting the main plot. I can proudly say that, this series is par on the lines of Scam 1992. Every episode has its own meaning and none of them disappoint you. Why India is today a strong nuclear power and par on the lines of other countries is because of such fine scientists. The production value is good and the color tone of the whole series was such that it looks like we are watching an old film, which actually adds meaning. The director has made a wonderful series and we actually want more of such content which is not only thrilling but need to be told to the Indian audience. Except some characters which were included in this series and were not their in real life, are the only disappointment thing in this series.
