The positive point of the series can be the layers of the story, there is a huge story going on which deals with the war situation in the series but part from under big story there are few smalls stories dealing with the life of the soldiers and their families, also the strong performances by every character will surely keep your attention high, also the direction by Mahesh Manjrekar is the USP and the location covered in the show are treated to watch. Also, the emotions of Indian Soldiers which are captured in the series are the USP of the show.

Where there are positives points, there are few negative points too in the series, the screenplay is well written but in between the series looked dragged and slow because the family parts of the soldiers after a point looks little unwanted and at few points, it adds no value to overall series, also the scenes during the war, the gun fires and blasts were looking evidently graphically designed which kills your war sequence viewing experience.

Well, having said all these points the series will surely treat you with high points at several points and it does justice to the real unsung heroes of our country, the Indian Army.

Team TellyChakkar goes with 3.5 stars for 1962: The War in The Hills.
