Review- Hostages, is the Hindi remake of an Israeli show of the same name.This is a generic thriller that offers nothing new in terms of the story it tells as. The season is divided into 10 Episodes and kept very tight considering the screenplay which is decently engaging. However the premise slowly seems to be implausible when slowly the lives of all family members who are now kidnapped reveal with gradual episodes. Sudhir Mishra’s screenplay is exciting at parts and not always succeeding in keeping the intensity of the show.
What Hostages achieves is good ‘MASALA’ fare, the kind that’s mostly eluded OTT platforms trying to create local content in India. The show scores high in the Indian context because we Desis love our big, dramatic moments over highly intricate plots. Performances are brilliant from specially the leads Tisca Chopra and Ronit Roy. They hold the episodes tight due to their brilliant acting and screen presence.
