1962: The War In The Hills review - The thrilling tale is crushed under tacky visual effects and lack of nuance
Director
Abhay Deol, Mahie Gill, Akash Thosar, Karim Hajee
The disclaimer at the start informs us that the story is inspired by true events and depicts the ’62 Sino-Indian conflict, while also exploring personal battles like love, heartbreak and longing.
Half-way through the 10-episode series, one realizes that writer Charudutt Acharya and director Mahesh Manjrekar have been more astute with exploring the personal battles rather than the actual war.
