IC 814 The Kandahar Hijack X (Twitter) Review: Netflix And Anubhav Sinha's Show Fails To Impress

IC 814 The Kandahar Hijack: Anubhav Sinha, who is known for his movies like Mulk, Article 15, Thappad, and others, has made his web series debut with Netflix's IC 814 The Kandahar Hijack. The series has started streaming on the OTT platform and it features actors like Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur, Vijay Varma, Dia Mirza, and Patralekhaa. As the series has started streaming, many people have started watching, and they are posting their reviews on social media. So, let's see what netizens have to say about IC 814 The Kandahar Hijack.

A netizen posted on X, "#ic814 @NetflixIndia @netflix factually incorrect series created! The flight was asked to be taken to Lahore and not Kabul. Please re-visit the classic documentary on @NatGeo @NatGeoIndia and get your facts straightened. Do not fool the audience @NetflixIndia. #boycottIC814."

Another netizen wrote, "#IC814TheKandaharHijac This should have been a movie. Too slow for a series. Just forcing everything into a series is stupid. A movie is also okay.. #ic814 #thekandaharhijack."

One more netizen posted, "anubhav sinha's #IC814 is hilariously bad there's a scene in the 3rd ep where one of the hijackers slits a guy's throat and the airhostess are discussing if giving him ANTISEPTIC would save his life (the cut was deep and he was bleeding for a good 15-20 minutes at that point)."

Clearly, the show has failed to impress the audiences. As it was directed by Anubhav Sinha, the expectations from it were quite high, but it has failed to reach the expectations of the audiences.

Netflix's OTT Series

Well, IC 814 The Kandahar Hijack might turn out to be one more blow for Netflix as most of their series this year has not received the response that was expected. Sanjay leela Bhansali's Heeramandi received mixed reviews and was trolled for a lot of reasons. The Great Indian Kapil Show also didn't create the required buzz, and Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper also got a mixed response. So now, let's wait and watch what overall response the Anubhav Sinha's show will get.

If we talk about Sinha's movies, his last two releases, Anek and Bheed, were flop at the box office, but both the movies had received mixed reviews.
