24 | Twenty Four : TV Series

20th Century Fox TV Series 24 staring Kiefer Sutherland. This has 8 seasons with each season comprising of 24 episodes. These days in India it is being made and telecast in Hindi. Indian version stars Anil Kapoor. Apparently it has become popular in India as well. Based on the American version, here is the framework that each season in Indian version of 24 is expected to follow:

1. In each season there will be a terrorist attack (nuclear, bio chemical, assassination attempts etc).
2. In each season the main lead(Kiefer/ Anil Kapoor) will have a personal problem along with the national problem(for example, his wife, daughter or girlfriend will be in some problem).
3. In each season there will be a threat or attempt on the presidency. Someone within the administration will try to challenge the president.
4. In each season there will be mole or traitor inside the CTU ( department where the main lead works)
5. In almost every season the head of CTU will have to suffer in some form or other.
6. In almost every season the main lead (Kiefer/ Anil Kapoor) will go against the authority/ order of the govt. and take things in his own hands to resolve both the personal and the national problem.

While the show has immense thrill and novelty in the first season, it becomes a bit repetitive in the following seasons based on the above framework. Lets see how long the Indian version survives. All the best. Happy Entertainment...
