Mukhbir Review: The Story of A Spy is a gripping online series with sympathetic narration.

The conman in ‘Mukhbir- The Story of A Spy’ on Zee5 thinks he can spy but doesn’t know how. He veers off course and makes blunders, further humanising the spy.

Mukhbir Review:

Prakash Raj and Adil Hussain insisted that Mukhbir- The Story of A Spy is their ode to India’s unsung heroes when discussing the web series. Few people consider those who cross borders to protect lives in their native lands, even though men and women at the border are praised for their devotion to and love of their country. Mukhbir, a new programme on Zee5, is exactly that.

It is challenging to select a title for the weekend at a time when OTT is a crowded space with genres and numerous releases. You can easily add Mukhbir to your list. The actors have the ability to keep the audience engaged for the entire eight-episode run because of the simple plot, fantastic soundtrack, and engaging actors.

Mukhbir Story

Kamran is portrayed by Zain Khan Durrani and is a youthful, cunning, no-strings-attached type of person. He is surrounded by individuals who have lofty goals, but he is not aiming for anything remarkable. Without being aware of the senior agent’s plans, he has been working as a small-time spy in the city for KSK Murthy (Prakash Raj). Kamran is asked to cross borders, visit Pakistan, and provide intelligence on violent situations during the tense 1960s. He decides to take the plunge and change his name to Harfan, whether it was due to his stupidity or Murthy’s motivation.

His heart aches, his hands shake, and he cries loudly when he has to live with a dysfunctional family, murder an innocent person, and watch foolish men perish. In his head, he is a distant guy devoid of emotion. Zain helps Kamran and Harfan develop empathy. He highlights his characters’ naivety, which is what gives them their charm. He delicately walks the line between occasional madness and genius.

But the supporting cast is what builds the series. As the obnoxious, crude Brigadier Habibullah, Atul Kumar excels, and Major General Agha Khan, Harsh Chhaya, is as menacing as ever. Playing senior bureaucrats, Prakash Raj and Adil Hussain are as dependable as ever.

What distinguishes Mukhbir from Raazi, a film starring Alia Bhatt, is a question that should be asked. Both espionage thrillers—Mukhbir from Mission to Kashmir: An Intelligent Agent in Pakistan and Raazi from Calling Sehmat—were adapted from books. However, the lives of Harfan and Sehmat are not comparable. Despite having the same occupations, they have different motivations. While Alia’s personality was shaped by complicated politics, Harfan is unable to explain why he would risk his life.

That is a highly contested aspect of his personality because he lacks any evidence to support his motivations. He is neither nationalistic nor avaricious, in contrast to other characters. He is a scam artist who thinks he can spy but has no idea how. He veers off course and makes mistakes, which humanizes a spy more than ever.

The screenplay for Mukhbir is successful. You wouldn’t want to skip episodes of the show because of how quickly the action moves along and how subtly the plot develops. The tale is what the programme emphasises more than the characters. It waits until the climax before delving inside the minds of the characters you see on the screen. We merely observe a man at work. The Pandora’s Box doesn’t open until the final episode, and Zain screams out the psychological pain of a spy.

The film directed by Shivam Nair and Jayprad Desai masters its tonality. It has problems, yet it seems meaningful. The show occasionally has an absurdist tone to it, but with its unabashed iconography, it realistically portrays the eras and war-torn nations.
