Saare Jahan Se Achha is a good one-time patriotic show with intriguing plots, a paced screenplay, convincing acting, but an obvious climax with typical Bollywood-style combats and unsatisfactory protagonist role defining.
This show, released on the onset of the 79th Indian Independence Day, is fully justified in setting a new benchmark in the spy universe of Indian cinema that has laid a base for further productions inspired by this engrossing genre.
The retro-aspect background and suspenseful music with the inclusion of all possible players of a particular event in a show is surely a big applause thing.
Also, an honest attempt at debunking the personal and psychological life aspects of spy officers disguised in enemy states serving the interests of their nation is quite satisfactorily displayed.
And special mentions to Sunny Hinduja, Suhail Nayyar, Anup Soni, and Rajat Kapoor.
The short episode length and overall show only add to the motivation to binge-watch it, which is a good thing, as the screentime is very justifiedly short.
The negative takes from the same old Bollywood-style 'as expected' climax with the total kill of the very established character of Sunny Hinduja as a brave, courageous, and intelligent Pakistani spy officer have surely convinced me to think of Pakistanis as patriotic and knowledgeable about their nation, not arrogant, stupid, and unserious fellows. As well as the character of Mr. Nayyar meeting the same old school fate of martyrdom and the safe harbour or return of the main protagonist (Prateek Gandhi) to his normal life and set for the next mission, it is totally idiotic to watch for the 100th time in my entire cinematic life. The sincere and pragmatic out-of-box climax has become rarer and unavailable.
