Manoj Pahwa explaining the meaning of ‘एक ही थाली के चट्टे-बट्टे’ to Arvind Swamy in #IC814 👌 Great cast can do wonders to a story. This is a non dramatic, non sensationalised retelling of Kandahar hijack. Prioritises understanding of the complicated situation over urgency.

Enjoyed watching the show #IC814, the cast was a jaw drop. One big name after the other. Vijay Verma was outstanding. His frustration peaks only in 2-3 scenes but the build up to it is so well done. Anubhav Sinha is smashing it out of the park with every thing he's doing.

Netflix’s “IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack” is really good. It’s a six part mini series based on the true story of an Indian Airlines hijacking in 1999. Highly recommend.

Anubhav Sinha brings to life the untold stories behind the IC-814 hijacking, unleashing in its bare skin, an incident that rocked the nation 25 years back. Apt casting and a no make-up screenplay, is what makes this series an absolute must watch.#IC814TheKandaharHijack pic.twitter.com/6jtmXWORKk

#IC814 is Anubhav Sinha's finest work. With such an ensemble cast he pulled out the best out of all. Manoj Pawa and Kumud Mishra are the brightest stars in this series . It's a must watch !!

If you wanna witness the best ensemble cast ever in an Indian movie/show, go watch #IC814. The who's who of the industry in one frame and it never felt like one is better than other or one is less👏🏻

@anubhavsinha hear this in Dibyendu's voice: "Gajab Topibaaz aadmi ho bhai".
