National security, terror threats and intelligence-ops make for ready thriller scripts across cinematic formats. The Ott space, with its multi-episodic structure, allows a longer time frame for stories to gestate, and that would definitely seem like an advantage while telling such tales, over the limited runtime of feature films.

Special Ops, The Family Man and Bard Of Blood are a few random instances, of shows within the genre that have tried scoring off that advantage lately, with varying levels of success. It is Bollywood filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia's turn now, to tap the idea with his debut digital effort, Crackdown.
