CRACKDOWN SEASON 1 REVIEW : A SLOW-BURN YET COMPELLING SPY THRILLER
STORY: A covert operations unit of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) is hot on the trial of a cross-border terrorist. Will they be able to stop him and at what cost?
REVIEW: Riyaaz Pathan (Saqib Saleem) is an upright young officer, who is an expert at cracking down on terrorist outfits. His dramatic escape from the clutches of Pakistani militants continues to haunt him but the gruesome episode also gives him strength to be unwavering in his mission. He is also one of the few among his rank and file, who feels for the collateral damage in this fight against terror. Perhaps, the reason why he is so skeptical about using an innocent young hairstylist Divya (Shriya Pilgaonkar) to break into a dangerous terror group to spy for RAW. But call it professional hazard or the call of duty, Riyaaz recruits Divya in his lethal mission, which keeps getting more complex and dangerous, every passing minute.
The relentless and busy plot (Suresh Nair) of the show kickstarts with its very first scene that opens in the picturesque hills of Kathmandu, Nepal. The thrill and tension are palpable, as we see long drone shots of cars meandering through the lush green hilly terrains leading to shady terrorist hideouts. The first episode pretty much sets the stage for a gripping narrative that requires full viewer attention, but in the subsequent episodes, the pace drops. The show loses steam midway as a host of characters are introduced making an already complex screenplay even more crowded. While the overall plot remains intense, too many subplots are a dampener. Thankfully, director Apoorva Lakhia (in his OTT debut) doesn’t lose focus of the big picture. He ensures that the last few episodes regain the thrill quotient with high-octane action and adventure.
Saqib Saleem is clearly the star of the show with the most author-backed role. His chiseled avatar and no-nonsense demeanour give his character the conviction of a man on a mission to serve his country. Shriya Pilgaonkar is aptly cast too. She is equally believable as the average middle-class Mumbai girl, who is vulnerable and as a trained RAW agent, who can pack a punch. Iqbal Khan as the foul-mouthed and abusive Zorawar is a bit of a put-off due to his constant swearing. He looks suave but can get on to your nerves after a point due to his non-stop bickering. Waluscha De Sousa (as Garima) and Rajesh Tailang (as RAW chief Ashwini) are decent, but their familial subplots are downright boring. Ankur Bhatia is quite the caricature of a typical tall and burly Pakistani terrorist Kadir Khan. It’s these plethora of characters and many clichés that make the otherwise riveting narrative quite clunky in parts. That said, ‘Crackdown’ doesn’t cut corners in giving its viewer the larger-than-life thriller experience. From its compelling cinematography in real locations to rich production values and a gripping background score - it all eventually adds up. Barring a few corny lines by the terrorists, most dialogues (by Chintan Gandhi) are realistic and easy on the ear.
‘Crackdown’ uses familiar spy thriller tropes to engage its audience. Although it takes the long cut to get to the point, it does so with enough conviction and entertainment to make it binge-worthy.
