Anubhav Sinha, the acclaimed filmmaker behind thought-provoking dramas like Mulk, Thappad, and Article 17, is set to make his streaming debut with the highly anticipated series, IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack. Based on the harrowing 1999 hijacking of an Indian aircraft by Pakistani militants, the series promises to be a gripping and intense watch.
The recently released teaser offers a glimpse into the heart-pounding drama that unfolds. The narrative kicks off with a seemingly ordinary flight from Kathmandu to Delhi, but the situation takes a terrifying turn when armed militants hijack the plane. The focus quickly shifts to the ground, where Indian officials, including Pankaj Kapur, Dia Mirza, Manoj Pahwa, and Naseeruddin Shah, are grappling with the crisis.
The teaser masterfully builds suspense as it reveals the gravity of the situation. The hijacked plane is diverted to Kandahar, Afghanistan, controlled by the Taliban at the time, heightening the danger for the passengers and crew. Anubhav Sinha, known for his ability to tackle sensitive and socially relevant issues, is expected to delve deep into the complexities of the situation, exploring the psychological impact on both the hostages and those involved in the rescue operation.
The series marks a reunion for Sinha with his frequent collaborators, Dia Mirza and Pankaj Kapur, who have previously delivered powerful performances in his films. The ensemble cast, including Vijay Varma in the lead role as the pilot, promises to deliver compelling performances.
