THE FREELANCER:-the mohit raina show

Warning: Spoilers
The freelancer is an action thriller show directed by bhav dhulia and created by neeraj pandey.

The finest quality of the show is mohit raina. He plays his part like a stoic, towering figure who has limited emotion range. It was hard for mohit to limit his range as an actor, which was required for this role. He is such a fab actor, his dialogue delivery is so smooth. Only fault was his running in this series, it was as if he was very stiff in his body movements. Kashmira pardeshi plays a normal, healthy minded muslim with a sense of sensitivity and air. It was not a character driven show, so no other such characters are etched out well. Anupam kher plays the cartrider type of role which is poorly written. The antagonists are one dimensional. The american and british accents are off for some actors.

The writing of this show does few things good. It builds up the tension very well. At multiple moments, it will make you feel very anxious about what's going to happen next. The screenplay though loses its steam at many points, you will feel like the subplots are not worth it. A subplot involving the doppleganger and his caretaker was just unnecessary.

The character of avinash kamath and his motives are well defined, we understand why he wants to save his friend's daughter, why he considers it a therapy to fill his void. The IB angle was stretched beyond a point, which made it boring and useless. The cinematography is generic with a pale yellow palatte to stereotype the arabic lands. It uses the picturesque locations well but does not get into the depth of it. The background score is also mediocre to decent. A very high paced music assists the scenes throughout.

The show makes a distinct comment on the muslim extremism and how it is a threat to the world and especially muslims around the world. Their backward, disgraceful laws are holding the community back. It also makes a commentary on the american messiah syndrome. They think that they are solution to every problem in the middle east. I was disgusted by the ways of regressive muslim confinement in syria and the places near to it. The commentary is on point.
