History Series / TwentyFourIndia

** A more forceful version happens when he grabs and pins down Nikita, suspecting her of being a terror mole, until Tia, the IT officer, confirms that it wasn't Nikita who was involved with the files transferred to the card held by fallen terrorists. Immediately {{deconstructed}} by guilt.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Veteran film/theatre actor Anupam Kher plays the role of a RAW agent who secretly informs Jai Singh. [[spoiler:Pity he didn't live beyond the second hour.]]

* KickTheDog: Yakub to the mercenary sisters Meher and Shaina. [[spoiler:His hitman kills Shaina, which helps Yakub blackmail Meher into joining his team.]]

This will be shown on the Colors network in India; this is available on Dish in the US and Sky in the UK, with the possibility of English ClosedCaptioning on at least the latter.

* ProductPlacement: Averted. Despite Tata Safari Storme sponsoring the show, we do not see it (or any other vehicle) shown prominently with the brand monogram visible. Even the hero, Jai Singh, drives an [[XtremeKoolLetterz XUV5OO]], made by rival company Mahindra.

* {{Bollywood}}: Largely averted. It may be filmed in Mumbai, but it isn't likely to have song and dance numbers- four hours cone, and it has none.

* FanServicePack: Sarah Clarke's not bad looking, but Mandira Bedi (Nikita Rai) is a very well known Indian model.

* BadCopIncompetentCop: RAW chief Gill, who gets blackmailed by a potentially lethal injection from Jai Singh, to reveal his source [[spoiler:when Jai Singh merely administered a glucose injection]]. CTU officer Pradhan's men, who were supposed to protect Aditya Singhania, a Prime Ministerial candidate, who went sneaking out in the middle of the night, had no clue about his disappearance. Subverted with city Police Inspector Narvekar, who harasses Trisha (Jai's wife, Kiran's mother) and Ajay (father of Kiran's friend, Janhavi), who are looking for their missing daughters, for a hefty bribe, when he sees Jai's badge and offers to help him track down and capture a terrorist accomplice hiding there. [[spoiler:He doesn't survive.]]

[[spoiler:He doesn't survive.]]

* [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique Jai Singh Rathod Interrogation Technique]]: Jai Singh first uses it when he tries to extract information from a RAW agent, who refuses to divulge the source of information. He tries to administer a lethal injection, which seems to take effect, till the source is revealed [[spoiler:until Jai mentions that he administered merely a glucose injection]].

* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: Gently used, when we see a hitman compliment a plastic surgeon for giving him a handsome face, from inside an Indian hotel, and then a famous photographer (who looks exactly like him) comes flying in from Thailand- only for the plane to be blown up. Only when you hear what the hitman says do you realise that he's not killed in the plane crash, but the photographer he's impersonating.

* TooDumbToLive: The two sisters who blow up an airplane as a part of a plan to assassinate Aditya, for big money. The younger sister, who isn't on the plane, tries to quote a price too high, and underestimates the danger posed by Yakub and his surgically-altered hitman, by mocking them, [[spoiler:only for said hitman to kill her with one shot, and Yakub to blackmail her sister on the back of this, to join his team]].

--> [b]Dev[/b] (holding Kiran's friend at gunpoint): Shut...the...[[PrecisionFStrike hell]]...up!

--> Dev: Shut...the...[[PrecisionFStrike hell]]...up!

* OneHitKills: Averted when done with pistols, but played straight, dramatically, with FanDisservice, when Yakub's sniper takes out [[spoiler:Shaina]].

After his appearance in the eighth season of ''[[Series/TwentyFour 24]]'', AnilKapoor liked appearing in the show so much that he decided that he wanted to be Jack Bauer himself. When you're a famous movie star with your own studio...

Having bought the rights from FOX, Kapoor is now making his own Hindi-language version of the show, starring himself as intelligence officer Jai Singh Rathod. The first season (a second is already being discussed) will start airing in October and looks to be a fairly straight remake of Day One, albeit set in Mumbai.

[[folder:Tropes present in this version of ''24'']]

* {{Homage}}: Nikita Rai, the "Nina Myers" character, has an identical hairstyle to the American one.
** The CTU set has also been recreated for the Anti Terrorist Unit.
