The new series ‘Ranneeti: Balakot And Beyond’ will be premiering on JioCinema soon. The official trailer of the series is out now. It will be available to watch from 25th of April.
The show will have actors like Jimmy Shergill, Lara Dutta, Ashutosh Rana and Ashish Vidyarthi in leading roles. ‘Ranneeti’ will be more of a political thriller rather than a simple war narrative. The show is directed by Santosh Singh and written by Ramiz Ilham Khan, Maitreya Bajpai, Sanjay Chopra etc.
‘Rajneeti: Balakot And Beyond’ tells the story of the Pulwama attack and India’s reaction with the Balakot strike. But it is not a very factual documentary like narration of the same. It employs many fictional tropes to make the series entertaining. And it will be better to watch ‘Ranneeti’ as a show on modern warfare between India and Pakistan rather than the story of Pulwama and Balakot. The famous Abhinandan case will be there in the show too. The actor playing Abhinandan looked pretty promising. The writing looks fine. Jimmy Shergill and Lara Dutta are exceptional in their performances.
The trailer looks promising, but this subject is being milked for a long time and it will be difficult to attract new audiences with it.
If you are looking for a miniseries that will serve as a political thriller as well as a gritty actioner, perhaps your thirst will be quenched by Ranneeti. The show will be available to watch on JioCinema from the 25th of April.
