The web series “Indian Police Force,” directed by Rohit Shetty, renowned for his masala entertainers, has been released on Prime Video. Starring Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, and Mayyank Taandon in the lead roles, the Indian Police Force turns out to be a passable cop drama.

Indian Police Force Analysis:
The OTT viewers were excited when they learned that Director Rohit Shetty, known for mass entertainers, has made a web series. However, The Indian Police Force is partially successful in giving an engaging experience as it appears to be a movie rather than a web series. The series has all the typical commercial elements that are very much present in Rohit Shetty’s films.
Yes, a couple of heart-touching moments and some well-choreographed action and chase sequences work well, but the series has nothing special apart from that. The attempt to pay a respectful tribute to the police department is commendable, but it should have been more intense and effective. Many subplots could have been dealt with way better.
Positives:
- Cast
- Action Sequences and Production Values
- Few Emotional scenes
Negatives:
- Predictable Narrative
- Ordinary Twists
- Lack of Emotional Connect
Indian Police Force Series Review and Verdict:
Indian Police Force is a passable cop drama with some breathtaking action episodes and emotional moments. However, predictable narrative, weak emotions and surface-level characters do not provide the required kick. The series can be a watchable fare for action lovers.
