Taskaree Review: Watch Or Miss?

Emraan`s best OTT performance in years

One of the biggest wins in the show is Emraan. His calm intensity and layered portrayal of Superintendent Arjun Meena is beyond typical crime fare.

Fresh take on law enforcement

Unlike many Indian thrillers that focus on police or covert ops, Taskaree dives into the unexplored world of airport customs and global smuggling.

Strong supporting cast

The series benefits from a solid cast around Hashmi, including performances that add tension and depth to the storyline.

High-stakes thrills

The show unfolds with a mix of tactical operations, global routes, and suspenseful moments. Many episodes generate a genuine edge-of-your-seat feel.

What works less well: Pacing issues

While the premise is compelling, the review notes that certain parts of the narrative drag, especially in early episodes.

Predictability in tropes

Despite its fresh setting, Taskaree sometimes leans on familiar thriller tropes - such as the righteous lead versus criminal kingpin formula.

Clarity of stakes

Some character arcs and motivations aren’t always as tightly defined as they could be, which slightly dilutes emotional investment in subplots.
