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.
