For those unfamiliar, the recently released Netflix series sparked controversy shortly after its debut. The uproar began on social media, where there were strong calls for a boycott, demanding that the showrunners change the names of the hijackers from Shankar and Bhola to their real identities. Critics alleged that the series made an offensive attempt to shield the terrorists associated from a specific community. This controversy prompted the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting to summon Netflix India’s content head.
Directed by Anubhav Sinha, this gripping series explores the tragic hijacking of Indian Airlines IC-814 on December 24, 1999, by five terrorists. The hijackers named Ibrahim Athar, Sunny Ahmed Qazi, Zahoor Ibrahim, Shahid Akhter, and Sayed Shakir took control of the aircraft just 40 minutes after it departed from Kathmandu, en route to Delhi.
Patralekhaa’s performance has been widely praised by audiences for her heartfelt portrayal of an air hostess, showcasing a nurturing instinct and deep emotional connection with the passengers, treating them with the care and affection one would offer to their own children.
