Bard Of Blood Review: Emraan Hashmi’s Classy Performance & The Cliffhanger Will Leave You Impressed
Emraan Hashmi’s spy thriller Bard of Blood is streaming now on Netflix. The seven-episodic series, which is based on Bilal Siddiqi's book of the same name, is engaging.
Emraan
Hashmi
forays
into
the
digital
space
with
Shahrukh
Khan's
Bard
of
Blood.
The
series,
which
released
today,
has
seven
episodes.
The
show
is
based
on
Bilal
Siddiqi's
book
of
the
same
name.
This
Netflix
show
features
Shobita
Dhulipala,
Vineet
Kumar
Singh,
Rajit
Kapur
and
Jaideep
Ahlawat
in
the
lead
roles.
Story:
It
is
a
story
of
Kabir
Anand
aka
Adonis,
the
Research
and
Analysis
Wing
(RAW)
agent,
who
is
assigned
to
three-person
mission
to
rescue
four
Indian
spies
from
Balochistan.
In
the
first
couple
of
episodes,
the
viewers
will
witness
how
Kabir's
former
mentor
Sadiq
Sir
(Rajit
Kapoor),
who
is
also
a
father
figure,
gets
him
back
to
the
mission,
which
apparently
is
more
than
a
rescue
mission.
But
Kabir
is
guilty
as
in
his
previous
mission,
he
had
lost
his
friend
and
partner
in
Balochistan
and
does
not
want
to
head
the
rescue
mission.
As
they
say
'fate
has
a
twisted
sense
of
timing',
Kabir
has
to
return
for
the
rescue
mission.
It
is
that
then
Kabir
and
Isha
Khanna
(Sobhita
Dhulipala)
go
on
the
mission,
which
is
off
the
record.
The
duo
joins
Veer
Singh
(Vineet
Kumar
Singh),
an
Indian
agent.
Performances
Shobita
as
an
analyst,
who
doesn't
have
prior
experience
in
field
work
and
is
sent
to
the
rescue
mission,
and
Viineet
as
an
Indian
agent,
have
done
their
job
convincingly.
Jaideep
Ahlawat
as
Tanveer
Shehzad
(Taliban
handler,
Inter
Services
Agency)
has
also
performed
fantastically.
But
it
is
Emraan
who
impresses
us
with
his
never-seen-before
avatar
and
classy
performance
as
a
spy.
He
has
done
a
commendable
job.
Verdict
The
way
in
which
every
episode
ends
on
a
cliffhanger
keeps
the
audiences
hooked.
It
is
an
edge-of-the-seat
entertainer.
We
are
sure
that
though
you
might
begin
thinking
you
will
watch
a
few
episodes;
you
might
end
up
watching
the
entire
series.
You
will
get
to
hear
a
lot
of
Urdu
words
and
hence
you
will
have
to
keep
the
subtitles
on!
