Well to be frank, I am a super sucker for anything related to military. Actually it is just that there is an immense respect for all the armed forces. But the maximum is reserved for the army. After all, real wars are fought on land. Another reason is that they have a super sense of discipline. Sometimes I do feel that we should also have the mandatory` training just like the Israelis.

Well I guess I just went overboard with my love for army. Sorry for that. Well let’s come straight to the point.The web series was one of the most talked about. So, obviously I had to watch it. Another reason was the cast . It stars legendary actors like Atul Kulkarni, Rahul Dev, Nimrat Kaur.

So the story is about the first woman in the paramilitary forces Captain Shikha Sharma. She is sent as a test case in the special training for the paramilitary forces. The paramilitary forces is considered to be a male’s bastion. Even the trainers are pretty skeptical whether the so called test case will be able to pull off the training which breaks even the most toughest?

Nimrat Kaur is bang on as Captain Shikha Sharma. And so is Rahul Dev as Naib Subedar Kirpal Bhatti. The title track is a fantastic piece of work by Sohail Sen (remember the song Jao Naa from Whats your Rashee?)

The challenges which are portrayed do not appear to be superficial. They appear to be realistic. So a great piece of work. The only drawback I found was that the series is a small one. But the story line and the acting performances do make it an interesting watch.

So yes a big shout out to the team who is behind the Test case. Do watch it and tell me about your experience in the comments section.
