![]() That was one of Kiefer’s top 5 performances in the series – amazing, raw emotion that really came through on the screen and fit into the storyline. ![]() To me, the closest to evoking tears was watching Jack alone, breaking down in tears from the events of the day, at the end of S3. Gerry, you cried at Hassan’s death? I know Kiefer’s portrayal of a saddened, dejected Jack was emotional in those scenes but I didn’t find Kapoor’s performance up to that point endearing enough to make me feel sad like I did when Edgar, Buchanon and Renee were killed. No big deal either way – it’s not like I was planning on watching it online. If the Indian producers wanted to use the real-time format and write a spy-type show using it, that would be one thing – but it looks obvious they are using more of ’24’ as a template for short-cuts on writing something original. Yesterday (7th June), the poster of the show was launched and today (8th June), the trailer will be launched. In the second season, I want everybody to make more money. Last time, people could not make much money. Going into the second season, he now feels more responsible. I compare this concept of India TV doing its own “24”, based on the characters of the US series, much like the tribute bands around the world that make a living impersonating real musicians. Anil Kapoor's 24 India Season 2 has been in news for the cast. Anil Kapoor is happy that with his 24, he has successfully made India’s first official remake of an original US TV series. Can’t the Indian writers come up with their own original scripts? Seriously, how much creativity is there in just renaming characters, replacing actors and putting a used storyline in a different country? The whole premise really just smacks of a cheap knock-off, underlined by the apparent copying of “24”‘s S1 storyline. His style of delivery and mannerisms seem very forced, strained and rehearsed – while that may have been suitable for the game show host role he played in “Slumdog Millionaire” that earned him so many rave reviews, it’s not what all of the actors that make action roles believable rely on. Aside from choosing someone like Kapoor that has a pasty-faced visage, seemingly-pudgy physique and comical bouffon hair-do that is the antithesis of what viewers would expect of a super-spy, action hero, I never thought any of Kapoor’s acting in S8 was that impressive or natural. If Indian TV producers wanted to give their audience “24”, why not just dub the original series with Indian voices like most other countries do with American-shows? At least the stories and acting would be the kind of caliber we all came to love in the USA.Īs for the casting, that’s an even bigger mockery. ![]() No disrespect intended to Indian TV or viewers there but this entire premise from the first time I read it – especially the casting of Kapoor in a lead action role – sounds like a farce to me. ![]()
