दोस्तों डिज्नी प्लस हॉटस्टार की वेब सीरीज "1962 द वॉर इन द हिल्स" से काफी उम्मीदें थीं। महेश मांजरेकर जैसे दिग्गज ने निर्देशित किया है। अभय देओल, सुमित ब्यास, अनूप सोनी, माही गिल, आकाश थोसर जैसे कलाकार हैं, लेकिन फिर भी सीरीज अच्छी नहीं बन पाई। सीरीज में क्या अच्छा नहीं है, क्या कमी रह गई, जानिये मेरे रिव्यू में।
Hello Friends,
I was very much expecting from Disney plus Hotstar 's web series "1962 The War In The Hills". It is directed by Mahesh Manjrekar and fine actors like Abhay Deol, Mahee Gill, Anoop Sonii, Sumeet Vyas, Akash Thosar are featured in various roles. But this series is very disappointing. Why? Please listen to my review to know.
Thanks.
