Jennifer Winget Makes It A Compelling Watch !!!
cs_rahul_prasad30 August 2021
Army lawyer, Major Monica Mehra (Jennifer Winget), gets roped in to investigate an open-and-shut encounter case in which an army officer and two suspected terrorists were killed. However, as the facts unfold, she realises that the case is way more complex than it appears to be.

In the opening scene, three army officers-Shakti Mandappa (Aalekh Kapoor), Gaurav Shekhawat (Keshav Sadhna) and Ajay Paswan (Govind Chaudhary)-are seen chasing two militant suspects in Munabao village, Rajasthan, near the Indo-Pak border. After a series of bullets are fired, the two militants are gunned down and Major Ajay loses his life. The encounter becomes the talk of the town after the mother (Seema Biswas) of the alleged militant sets herself on fire claiming her sons' innocence. At that point military lawyer, Monica Mehra (Jennifer Winget) is called from Pune to Jodhpur by her mentor Colonel Suryaveer Chauhan (Rajat Kapoor) to work as an investigating officer on the case. As Monica begins questioning Ajay's colleagues, who were there with him on that fateful night, layers start coming off and the two 'terrorists' seem as much victims as the army man. But, what is the truth behind these killings? Will she be able to crack this case?

Directed by Akshay Choubey, this eight-part series is a crisp and fast-paced thriller. Despite the show having multiple subtexts-a cold-blooded murder, casteism, fake encounters, and more-it manages to portray all the different perspectives well. Additionally, 'Code M' offers us several unusual twists and a mind-blowing climax. The writer (Shubhra Chatterjee) deserves praise for keeping the narrative engrossing without any melodrama, especially when Monica meets another legal counsel on the case, Angad Sadhu (Tanuj Virwani), who's also her ex-boyfriend. They maturely work together to solve the case. Editing by Prakash R Yadav makes the transition between the scenes flawless. The title track and the background music by Udbhav Ojha perfectly blends into the story and boost up the overall impact of this suspense drama.

Jennifer Winget makes an impressive debut on the digital platform as an army lawyer who delves into a high-profile case just days before her wedding. As a lawyer, unfortunately, she does not look convincing, but the charm of an army uniform does its magic with confidence adding to her looks. She is decent at pinning down people and pulling off action stunts. After playing the volatile Vayu Raghavan in 'Inside Edge', Tanuj Virwani yet again impresses with his raw intensity in playing his character, Angad Sandhu. Rajat Kapoor stands out as a no-nonsense army man.

The duration of 20-30 minutes per episode is not enough to build up a muddled case and eventually, this thriller turns into a whodunit story. But with so many shows dealing with men in uniform, it was a pleasant change to see a woman lead the way. To conclude, 'Code M' is a delightful watch that will leave you with a bag full of mixed thoughts and emotions.

Trust your instincts when matters appear too good to be true
msunando28 October 2021
The backdrop is Jodhpur, a place with stringent Army vigilance due to proximity to the border. The subject is the encounter killing of two terrorists in a neighbouring village alleged to be associated with arms smuggling and the death of Major Siddharth Paswan who was shot by the terrorists before being killed. The problem is the villagers who swear at the innocence of the alleged terrorists and demand an investigation into the army affairs. Initially reluctant, Col. Suryaveer Chauhan (Rajat Kapoor) calls on Major Monica Mehra (Jennifer Winget) to file an investigation report about what transpired on the fateful night. He has his skin the game too, as the officer who died was the fiance of his only beloved daughter and he too is distraught due to the loss. It's a simple, open and shut case, where all Monica has to do is interview the two other army officers Shakti Mandappa (Aalekh Kapoor) and Gaurav Shekhawat (Keshav Sadhna), who had backed up Major Paswan and managed to gun down the armed terrorists and submit their version.

Things however, don't turn out to be that simple for Monica. She starts receiving clues and photos about the terrorists and it appears to her that they were known to her interviewees. Also, Shakti and Gaurav seem to be too much in tune with each other, providing specific, accurate and symmetrical descriptions of the events. Instinctively, Monica knows something isn't right. In the meanwhile, after being constantly badgered by her questions, Shakti and Gaurav insist on getting their own legal counsel, and suddenly, Monica has an adversary in Angad Sandhu (Tanuj Virwani), a blast from her past. Determined, Monica pushes harder to get to the bottom of the case as she continues to receive information from various sources that doesn't quite coincide with the story that she has been told.

Code M is reminiscent of "Shaurya" and "A Few Good Men", obviously inspired by them. Director Akshay Choubey unravels the plot very slowly and holds suspense until the very last episode when an unsavoury secret tumbles out of the cupboard, retrieved by Monica, that is based on strong convictions, ideologies, family honour and sexual orientation. Code M is immensely watchable with its 8 episodes back to back. It's fast paced, marked by strong performances and dialogues, and Jennifer Winget nails it in. It is a little unfortunate that Rajat Kapoor couldn't be given his full flow and we fell short of seeing him at his intense best, because the script warranted it that way.

Jennifer Winget rocks !! Gripping story line !! Worth a dekho!!
sanjubhat12 June 2022
Web series review: Code M Season 2 streaming on Voot #sanjuzzreviews #CodeM2 #codem2onvoot #codemseason2 #VootSelect After a brilliant Season 1 Major Monica Mehra (Jennifer Winget) is back once again to set the screen on fire with an even more intriguing Season 2.

When a threat to the CM's life is thwarted by Monica, she gets involved in an investigation related to a self styled vigilante outfit and ends up realizing that the key to the mystery lies in her own past that has haunted her since her childhood.

Jennifer Winget as a no nonsense Major from the Indian Army is as outstanding as she was in the previous season. She is ably assisted by Tanuj Virani who plays her love interest. Others in the cast too perform well.

This 8 part series with each episode having a runtime of around 20 mins is an excellent bingewatch option. You can literally finish it in around 3 hrs .

Crisp editing, gripping storyline without any unnecessary digressions make it an enjoyable watch. Twist in the end is also worth the wait.

Some scenes are over the top and seem too good to be true. But discounting those, the series is definitely worth a dekho!!👍

3/5 from me .. adios 🙂

A poor sibling of an awesome movie "Shaurya"
mocahindisection23 January 2020
Story is predictable since the outset. Acting-wise it's good, watchable. But having watched "Shaurya", you are disappointed. Less said the better.

One women army (Jennifer Winget)
toxicsraboni16 January 2020
Marvellous performance by Jennifer winget. At my point of view she deserve bollywood, i mean hindi movies. One of the most talented actress of Indian Television. Tanuj Virwani also very good as angad sandhu.. Worth watching.. All cast r performed well.

Annoying background music
jainepal19 May 2020
Script is obviously good, acting of the characters are also good but background music is annoying. It seems like typical indian opera.

Good show except the OST
tanvirahmed-4492124 April 2020
The plot,casting and acting was good. The only below par element in the whole business was the horrible OST. Overall, a good watch.

Half Baked, No Taste.. unhealthy too
gvinay23 January 2020
It is not a good attempt, provided the plot was good. The direction needs a lot of improvement, acting again is low standard. Even if you try hard to be connected, poor gripping screenplay does not help. Lots of better option, the one on similar lines is Test Case that came in 2018 on Alt Balaji. Most curious to meet people who give 9 or 10. Either they have not seen anything else or have a really imaginary taste.

Watchable
tanmayduh24 April 2020
The plot of the show is decent enough according to Indian web series standards. Ending was pretty illogical, but whatever. Episode 2-7 are okay. It was a short series, so they didn't have enough time to properly flesh out all the characters, so a lot of them come of as unlikable, but this show does an okay job of trying to touch on a couple sensitive topics( even if that's not completely new). Watch it if you have spare time, or else it's not unmissable.

Below mark !!!
winak16 February 2020
Wasn't very impressed by the acting/dialogues. It just wasn't engaging enough to keep me from dozing off. Winget didn't cut it as an investigating army officer. In fact none of the actors looked their part. Unlike a soap opera, investigative serial doesn't require one to verbalize everything, it takes away the edge and mystery of the plot and that's also what happened with this serial.

Good one to watch
naasihaameena31 May 2021
Good story line, and Jennifer is super cool actress, she is too good and justified the character, all other supporting characters too done a good job.

Story is revolving arrond a encounter of two civilians and murder of a Camando, it is a crime thriller, worth watching web series.
