Cast: Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, Nikitin Dheer, Mayyank Taandon
Episodes: 7
Storyline:
Sidharth Malhotra plays the young and ambitious DCP Kabir Malik in this action thriller. He, along with his senior Joint CP Vikram Bakshi (Vivek Oberoi), is on a mission to track down the mastermind behind multiple bomb blasts in Delhi.
Gujarat ATS Chief Tara Shetty (played by Shilpa Shetty) joins the team to help combat these terror attacks. Nikitin Dheer is another steady addition to this competent task force.
The series then focuses on the cat-and-mouse game between this Police squad and the brainwashed Indian Mujahideen terrorist Zarar (Mayyank Taandon).
While Kabir Malik is still in mourning for his dead wife (Isha Talwar), he lets the loss fuel his determination to catch the culprit. Meanwhile, Zarar is torn between his love for Nafeesa (Vaidehi Parshurami) and his obsession with vengeance. Sharad Kelkar makes an interesting appearance in the action-packed finale!

Indian Police Force Series Review:
Indian Police Force is an adrenaline-pumping action spectacle – a perfect Rohit Shetty comeback!
Rohit has adapted to the OTT format without losing the massy appeal. The action is not quite as over-the-top this time – it’s more stylish and grounded, less of the flying cars. It is sprinkled with engaging, well-choreographed hand-to-hand combat scenes, nailbiting chase and ambush sequences.
Indian Police Force might seem formulaic in the initial episodes but it hits its stride in the later parts. Sidharth Malhotra shines as the stoic yet fierce officer in his OTT debut. He is in top form in the action sequences and emotes convincingly in the dramatic moments. Sid fills out the shoes of this larger-than-life cop avatar with swagger.
Indian Police Force Series Review:
Shilpa Shetty excels as the fiery, tough, no-nonsense cop and holds her own in the combat scenes. It’s great to see Vivek Oberoi in an action-packed role. Though his screen time is limited, he leaves his mark with a stellar performance. The trio of Sid, Vivek and Shilpa have good, banter-filled chemistry and it helps sell the camaraderie in the show.
Mayyank Taandon stands out as the young, disillusioned terrorist leading a double life. His romantic chemistry with Vaidehi Parshurami is quite good and makes for some compelling, emotional drama.
Saving the best for the last, Sharad Kelkar makes a powerful entry in the climax episode and helps the action-packed finale end on a high note. There appears to be quite some potential for Season 2.
Unfortunately, Isha Talwar as the dead wife gets the short end of the stick. Nikitin Dheer is reliable as ever but woefully underutilized in the series.
Where To Watch:
High on action, this police procedural thriller is streaming on Amazon Prime.
