Netflix series #IC814 by Anubhav Sinha tries to obfuscate facts of the hijacking. Few points:
1. Series doesn’t reveal at any point real names of Shankar and Bhola (Codenames) who were Pakistani Islamist terrorists.
2. Series gives clean chit to Pakistan and ISI. Pinning blame on Osama Bin Laden and few terrorists.
3. Makes a joke of respected NSA Ajit Doval who was lead negotiator to release hostages. Negotiations shown in a comical manner. Mr. Doval has a very serious persona with depth. His famous photographs on Kandahar tarmac near IC-814 not depicted.
4. Badly researched story. Desperation of traumatised passengers not visible at all. Instead series shows one terrorist and an air hostess romantically observing each other. Terrorists helping an air hostess.
5. Terrorists shown in a humane manner. Originality doesn’t mean you play with facts. Factual inaccuracies galore. Ismailis terrorists are no revolutionaries.
6. Cabin Crew Chief of IC-814 told me that facts were misrepresented in the series with an evil intent. (Interview out soon)
7. Govt in crisis in New Delhi also not shown well cinematically. Series made in haste without background study of events and characters. Even if Govt failed or didn’t react in time, that too wasn’t shown clearly.
8. Main context and background of three terrorists who were released from Jammu & Kashmir and New Delhi including Masood Azhar not shown. These were hardcore terrorists arrested for crimes against humanity and terrorism in Kashmir against innocent civilians and Armed Forces.
Overall the film far from being a masterpiece is cinematically a huge disaster. Since it’s a National Security related film on a subject of sensitive nature, one would’ve expected filmmakers to be cautious, taking facts on record and hold interactions with passengers, negotiators and key Govt and Indian Airlines functionaries who were involved at that time. Yet it’s completely a fictional story with so much creative liberty that it becomes intolerable.
One Airhostess of IC814 remarked that after watching first few minutes she couldn’t watch it further because it was utter rubbish.

Drunken goons have stormed RG Kar Hospital where the gangrape and murder took place.
Thugs taking over Kolkata streets, being brought in trucks, to terrorise protesters.
Mamata Banerjee’s police are spectators.
West Bengal has turned into Bangladesh.

TMC goons Vandalised the epicenter of the protest for Dr. Moumita Debnath.
TMC goons mixed with the crowd entered the RGKar protest area and vandalised the Dharna manch of Doctors.
They made this cunning plan to destroy the evidence before the CBI inquiry.
But these uneducated rabid animals broke the whole protest area.
Shame on TMC, Shame on Mamata Banerjee.

Barbaric Palestinians Extremists can be seen parading around the body of a young Israeli woman.
These are the people the Western world and its leaders want Israel to make peace with.
The United Nations is a farce !
We have liberals trying to tell us that they came to India in peace. No, they didn’t, same happened in India! Hindu Women suffered such unspeakable brutality
Pray for Israel.🙏
