He's still a federal agent... just serving a different federal republic.After his appearance in the eighth season of 24, Anil Kapoor 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 made his own Hindi-language version of the show, starring himself as intelligence officer Jai Singh Rathod. The first season (a second has already been approved) started airing in October 2013 and is a fairly straight remake of Day One, albeit set in Mumbai, India- not surprising, since some episodes are written by writers from the original show. The Palmer family is completely replaced by a family believed to be based on the real-life Nehru-Gandhi family of Indian politics with a few similarities with some of the Palmers, to the point where the story deviates from the original. The Serbians have been replaced by a Sri Lankan Tamil terrorist outfit closely based on the LTTE. Additionally, Jai Singh also has an elder son, Veer, whose story is similar to part of that of Jack's daughter Kim.This was shown on the Viacom-owned Colors network in India; this is available on Dish in the US and Sky in the UK, with the possibility of English Closed Captioning on at least the latter if/when it airs outside of India. Then again, there are plenty of English dialogues in this show.Only two seasons were produced. | |

Canon Foreigner: Jai Singh Rathod's son, Veer, who is a cadet in the National Defence Academy. Jack Bauer had only one daughter, Kim. Veer's part in the story is loosely based on a part of Kim's part in the story. While the Singhanias are loosely based on the Palmers, the characters Vikrant Maurya (Aditya's brother-in-law) and Megha Singhania (Aditya's aunt and cousin Prithvi's mother) original created for this show. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Subverted with the Singhania family from the Indian National Party, who appear to be similar to the Nehru-Gandhi family from the Indian National Congress in Indian politics- because the assassinations of two prominent Prime Ministers from the same family are referenced in this show. Mehek Ahuja from WNCC is a thinly-veiled spoof of NDTV's Barkha Dutt. Then there's the LTFE. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| 24 (India) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Season 2 of the Indian version, in many ways, ends up being Darker and Edgier than Season 3 of the original that it is based on. Unlike in the original, Kush Sawant (Kyle Singer) and his girlfriend are actually exposed to the virus. There is, thus far, no immunity to the virus, unlike in the original (though there's the possibility of a cure being developed). Jai's son Veer is one of the agents in the hotel who is exposed to the virus, and he is apparently infected to it, making the situation even more tragic for Jai. To make things worse, while in the original, it was the largely unsympathetic Ryan Chapelle that the Big Bad ordered Jack to kill, in this version it is the far more likable Shibani Mallick whom Jai is forced to kill - his protegee and close colleague, and a single mother with an autistic child. Towards the end of the season, the Prime Minister himself is also infected. Last but not the least, since in this version, it is Roshan Sherchan who continues to be the Big Bad and mastermind behind the virus attack throughout the season, it means that Jai, who broke him out of prison, is more directly responsible for everything that is happening, including the personal tragedies that have befallen him! Had enough? Mallick's mother calls out to Jai, then shoots at him. | |

Tempting Fate: Mehr and Shaina, the mercenary sisters, especially Shaina. See Too Dumb to Live. While Mehek Ahuja's not so dumb, her excessive ambition got her involved in a bitter political war which claimed her life, by way of an attack by the sniper posing as Max Ferraro, under Aditya's aunt's orders. Raja pretended to kill Jai Singh's son, Veer. That didn't end well for the LTFE. | |

While Vedant (the second Tony Almeida) and his team, already at the building, are looking for drug dealer Prakash (Parker), with no success, Vedant calls Raj to inform him, only for Raj to reply, in his first scene, that he's already captured Prakash. | |

Death by Materialism: In Day 1, Yakub's hitman kills Shaina after being extorted into paying double the fees for the job. The prisoners from sector 28, in their game of Russian Roulette, kill 'B.E.S.T. Shankar', the caterer, who was helping Jai in his plans to break out Roshan (Ramon) from the prison, who had not only taken a massive amount as reward money, but was also charging the prisoners plenty for their supplies. | |

Obstructive Bureaucrat | |
| 24 (India) / int_1f799027 | comment |
Obstructive Bureaucrat: Much of them shed their obstructive nature for the cause over time. Tejpal Singh sticks to the rules of the ATU, and RAW, which often governs the ATU. However, when he realises something is amiss, and Jiah is a mole for Yakub, he eventually helps Jai clear his name and take down Yakub, and stands up for Jai when Abhilasha tries to extract information from him. RAW chief Gill. He can lock down the entire ATU, and randomly axe employees. Not surprisingly, Jai Singh does not trust him. The rivalry between ATU and RAW is shown here. Eventually, once Jai Singh is reinstated as ATU chief by the Prime Minister, Gill eventually helps him out. Much of the ATU appears to be this to IT genius/hacker Mihir, and he constantly moans about it. This reflects the common people's annoyance with Government bureaucracy. Much of RAW (performing the role of Division in this show) appears to be this to the ATU, given how much they try to gain control of them, initially. Another RAW-appointed officer, Abhilasha Grewal, turns out to be more than just obstructive- she begins to witch-hunt Jai Singh when he is missing. RAW chief Kamaljeet Sood plays this up further. He wants the LTFE bosses taken out, even if Jai Singh is lost. Even Gill finds that unviable, saying Jai Singh is their best hope against the LTFE. Subverted somewhat in Season 2 with Siddharth Sehgal, who is appointed the acting ATU chief. While he is a fairly by-the-book ATU chief compared to the likes of the maverick Jai Singh Rathore, he's actually portrayed as a very competent and pragmatic officer who eventually decides to support Jai's rogue mission against the Sherchand brothers and later reinstates Jai knowing he's the best chance they have of stopping a virus attack in Mumbai. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| 24 (India) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: The Serbian militia in the original series were acting on their own free will, and running the assassination attempts on David Palmer. In this show, the LTFE is found to be following orders to assassinate Aditya Singhania from his sister Divya, who is very loosely based on Nicole Palmer. The Singhanias have some serious villains in their ranks. Mehek Ahuja, this show's version of Maureen Kingsley, isn't keen on breaking the story on Aditya Singhania just to do her job- she's got a vested interest in the story, actively trying to push it at his aunt Megha's behest. | |

Captain Ersatz | |
| 24 (India) / int_25b5600 | comment |
Captain Ersatz: Much of the characters in this show, whose first names start with the same letter as those of their counterparts from the original show (Jai = Jack, Nikita = Nina, Trisha = Teri, Tej = Tony). Averted the Singhania family, who are a heavily re-tooled and India-specific counterpart of the Palmer family. The LTFE are this show's version of the LTTE, a terror outfit that waged war against Sri Lanka for decades. One example of this rule being (somewhat) followed is the character Dhruv Awasthi. He appears to be based on Ted Packard, being the ex-boyfriend of Devyani Bhowmick (Anne Packard), but is eventually found to be based on Michael Amador. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| 24 (India) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In Season 2, Kiran (Jai's daughter) is an interior designer, much like Terri Bauer (her mother's counterpart in the original show) was. Season 2 has Haroon (Hector), stabbed by Jai and near death, asking Roshan (Ramon) to kill him, which is what happened in Season 3 of the original- but under different circumstances. Gyan dying of the virus telling Veer that his father, suffering from Alzheimer's, soon won't remember him, may be a reference to President James Heller's condition in the last hour of Season 9. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| 24 (India) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: Though this is a largely Hindi-language show, there are plenty of English dialogues spoken. It often turns into Bilingual Dialogue. Highlighted in this Shout-Out to one of the more famous interrogation scenes in Day 1 of the original series When Jai and Yakub establish contact, and Jai asks why he kidnapped his daughter and wife Yakub's final line "Good luck!", as he's still got Jai Singh in his sights, though wounded- until Jai Singh kills him. From the final hour, the same line, in both languages. Any episode set in Mumbai, Pune or elsewhere in Maharashtra will have plenty of Marathi spoken. The use of Marathi is confusing- in Season 1, it was used for the Spanish lines. In season 2, counterparts of English-speaking Americans end up speaking both Hindi and Marathi, but those of the English-Spanish bilingual characters speak (mostly) only in Hindi. "This is not a drill". Jack's famous "Dammit" is spoken once, faintly, by a Pune Central Jail guard. "He is the mole!" Any scene involving Sidhant Saigal Any scene involving a dialogue between the PMO and ATU. Much of Mehr's dialogues are full of it, with a bonus American Accent. This line of the Prime Minister announcing the drone strike Invoked or lampshaded by Naina Singhania (more closely based on Sherry Palmer in Season 2) when she ridicules Chief Minister Amar Maneshinde for his poor English skills. This exchange: "Shoot on sight" | |

Government Agency of Fiction | |
| 24 (India) / int_33affa42 | comment |
Government Agency of Fiction: The Anti-Terrorist Unit (ATU). This agency is an offshoot of the show's version of RAW (Research and Analysis Wing- India's overseas intelligence agency)- which performs the role of Division here. The agency, though, is known well by most other security agencies and departments, and also the Mumbai Police. The Special Forces Group assigned to protect Aditya Singhania is another fictional agency, though based on the real-life Special Protection Group. | |

Adapted Out | |
| 24 (India) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: The character of George Ferragamo, the Palmers' therapist. Also Mike Novick, whose counterpart, CBI Agent Bhagwat, is a completely different character, and some of Mike Novick's work is done by Aditya's cousin, Prithvi. Senator John Keeler has no counterpart on this show. Chase Edmunds is absent as well. His role throughout the season is fulfilled by a number of different characters; most notably ATU field agents Raj and Vedant. Claudia's younger brother Sergio is absent. After Season 1, Nina Myers is adapted out, largely because her Indian counterpart Nikita Rai was not revealed to be The Mole. Her part in the Season 2 plot (based on the original's Season 3) is played by Mehr (based on the original's Mandy). Surprisingly enough, this happens to Stephen Saunders, the Big Bad of the original's Season 3. His role in the latter half of the season is fulfilled by Roshan Sherchan (Ramon Salazar). | |

Gender Flip: The cop (Narvekar for Jesse Hampton) who captures Parvez (Penticoff) in Season 1 Vedant (the second Tony Almeida) interrogating Dhruv Awasthi (Amador) in Season 2 asking about his association and alleged affair with Mehr is a gender-flipped version of the ATU agents' interrogation of Nina Myers. The scenes involving Veer at the Gateway Residency hotel are a gender-flipped version of those involving Michelle Dessler at the Chandler Plaza hotel. The hacker assisting Sherchan (at this point, Saunders) is a female. | |

Kick the Dog: Yakub to the mercenary sisters Meher and Shaina. His hitman kills Shaina, which helps Yakub blackmail Meher into joining his team. But then, he's dealing with dumb dogs here. Just because you blew up one plane and took an ID that's useful to the team's sniper, you don't mock the team and its leader, when they do these things all the time, and have far bigger targets in mind. In Season 2, a loyal associate of Jai who helps him break out Roshan (Ramon) from Pune Central Jail is eventually killed in a game of Russian Roulette when he's captured by the prisoners from Sector 28. | |

The Man Behind the Man | |
| 24 (India) / int_3a1c2171 | comment |
The Man Behind the Man: Season 1: In doubles. Yakub is shown to be behind a lot of things going wrong, be it the photographer's body double, a few kidnappings, a mole in the ATU, but eventually, he is found taking orders from Raja- who, in turn, is getting dirty work done for Vikrant, Aditya's brother-in-law. Even then, we find that Raja, son of LTFE Patriarch Ravindran, believed to be slain by Jai Singh, is helping Ravindran break out of a top secret prison, who then subsequently runs the operation. He, too, is ultimately found taking orders from Divya, Aditya's sister. Season 2: While Roshan Sherchan (Ramon Salazar) not only survives by the end of the first act but also menaces the city with a weaponised virus, much like Stephen Saunders, the attacks are found orchestrated by a fraud non-governmental organisation, who were doing it at the behest of Dr Bhisham Bhowmick, who opposed the Prime Minister's Health Bill. | |

| 24 (India) / int_4631e81f | comment |
Trisha and Kiran, when captured by Yakub, eventually become Badass in Distress. They learn how to shoot a handgun from Rohit when in captivity, and when Yakub's man Qureshi tries to crush Kiran, Trisha shoots him dead. Later on, when they are on the run from the fake Max Ferraro, the van in which they're riding gets hit and the driver, killed, and the van flips and crashes. Fake Max sees everyone lying still and motionless, and having killed the driver and left the van in a state from which nobody can survive, he tells Raja that he has done the job, and asks for pay, only for Kiran to shoot him dead from behind. | |

You Have Failed Me: Much like in the original series, Yakub takes out Dev. Yakub himself is at the receiving end of it, from Raja. Almost. Bala kills Karthik for having failed to capture Jai Singh and assassinate Aditya. | |

Death by Adaptation | |
| 24 (India) / int_48c99e19 | comment |
Death by Adaptation: In this adaptation, the Indian counterparts of reporter Maureen Kingsley (Mehek Ahuja) and Jonathan Matijevic (the assassin posing as photographer Max) do not survive. In the next season, Omkar (Oriol) and Shantaram (Kevin Kelly) end up dead. Also, Shibani Mallick, who's the closest equivalent to Michelle Dessler, ends up dead, whereas she survived the original season 3. | |

Eventually, though, he proves himself to be capable in combat when he escapes from captivity of the LTFE, and even takes out a few of their members and snatches a mobile phone, to call the ATU base. | |

Adaptation Distillation: The Indian version's second season is based largely on the original's third season, but has elements of the second season (Kim rescuing Megan Matheson, Jack 'needing a hacksaw') mixed in. The plot of Jai being handed 'medical leave' (really relieved of his duty as ATU chief and put on alcohol rehab) is adapted from Jack losing his job at CTU due to drug use. | |

Kiran Srinivas, the actor playing Dev (this show's Dan Mounts) looks more like Mido Hamada, who played Samir Mehran from Season 8, than Matthew Carey. Pradhan, this show's version of Aaron Pierce, is played by Major Bikramjeet, who looks more like T J Ramini, the actor playing Season 8's Tarin Faroush. | |

Hellhole Prison: Pune Central Jail in Season 2. The prison itself appears very medieval, with small cells, but once a fire is triggered in the prison, there's virtually no fire safety and worse, even when guards arrive at the time of the fire, they refuse to release any of the prisoners, all of whom are in danger of burning to death- and one of them succumbs. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: More so than in the original, the remake emphasizes this trope in the context of Jai's rogue mission against the Sherchan (Salazar) brothers in Season 2. Siddharth Sehgal, Abhilasha Grewal, Roy and other intelligence higher-ups who are critical of Jai may come across as unsympathetic characters, but they are more than justified in calling Jai out on his reckless unsanctioned operation that violated numerous laws and endangered several lives. | |

Adaptational Badass | |

Adaptational Badass: Kiran Rathod, the Kim Bauer character, kills the assassin posing as Max Ferraro when he's not looking. Even Aditya Singhania seems to show up as a more intimidating, daring version of David Palmer, having already been elected as Prime Minister in the first season. Roshan Sherchan (Ramon Salazar)- on death row, he first finishes off a senior prison guard and then is helped on his way out by Jai Singh. He even as a metal rod inserted in his right leg, which is how Jai finds out that he faked his death. Inder Saxena (Gary Matheson)- He has Kiran (Kim) cornered in the hospital, then arrested by the police, for kidnapping his daughter. Then Veer and Raj step in. Amar Mane Shinde (Alan Milliken)- not just a rich jerk, but also the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Aditya's party's coalition partner's leader. If he pulls out, the Government will fall. | |

Spared by the Adaptation | |
| 24 (India) / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: Sara (Carla Matheson), so far, even testifying before Veer and Raj. Inder (Gary Matheson) is believed to have survived that gunshot too. Maya (Claudia) has also survived, only to be taken in as a prisoner and suspect by ATU agents. Nikita Rai (Nina Myers) also survives by virtue of her Adaptational Heroism. Since she wasn't The Mole in Season 1, and was subsequently Adapted Out, she wasn't eventually killed by Jai (whereas Nina was killed by Jack in Season 3 of the original). Also in Season 2 Siddhart Saigal, the Ryan Chappelle counterpart, survives. This might be because he's actually a Composite Character who has certain aspects of Tony Almeida's part from the original. Another significant example from Season 2 is Naina Singhania, based on the original's Sherry Palmer. | |

Remember the New Guy? | |
| 24 (India) / int_77b03c0a | comment |
Remember the New Guy?: Happens in Season 2, since virtually all the ATU characters, other than Jai (Jack) and Mihir (Milo) are new - largely because many of the new character are Expy's of Season 1 characters. Still, it is a little jarring to see Jai refer to new characters like Vedant and Mallick as long-time friends and colleagues given that they were absent in Season 1. Justified perhaps by the three year gap between seasons. | |

Villain Decay | |
| 24 (India) / int_7bb844ec | comment |
Villain Decay: What happens to the assassin posing as Max Ferraro. Initially, he's very skilled with his long-range sniper rifle, but so far, his only successful hit has been Meher's sister, Shaina, whose only real achievement was blackmailing for money- the attempt on Aditya had failed, following which he eventually set up an improvised death trap for one target, and then took a medium-range carbine and had to keep shooting at least twice from close range to kill, and after an attempt to kill Trisha and Kiran riding in a van merely caused a gruesome accident, killing only the driver, he takes credit for killing Jai's family, only for Kiran to kill him from behind, with one hit from a regular handgun. Inder Saxena (Gary Matheson) in Season 2 starts off as a real threat to Kiran (Kim), having her arrested for kidnapping his daughter Mili, but once Veer and Raj convince the police that she's rescuing Mili from domestic violence, he takes her hostage and demands a getaway vehicle from the ATU and IB officers. Tough luck surviving that one- while Raj hands over the vehicle, Veer shoots him down from inside it. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Jai Singh, Nikita and Jiah are coming close to finding out information about the mystery passenger on the crashed plane and the source of information on the SD card found on a terrorist. However, a phone call from ATU agent Tej bring RAW boss Gill and his men to the ATU premises and order a lockdown- so the trio can't access the information at the right time. Electrical engineer Patil was supposed to be captured, so that he could spill the beans about what the LTFE wanted him to do. However, an unreliable, revengeful former partner of Jai Singh, bitter at him for implicating his brother (then in the ATU) for taking bribes, killed Patil before Jai could capture him. | |

First-Episode Twist: 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 at the start, do you realise that he's not killed in the plane crash, but the photographer he's impersonating. The first two episodes spoil the secret that Jai, on medical leave, is working for Haroon Sherchan (Hector Salazar). | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? We have Yakub and his men blackmail mercenaries into joining his cause by killing their associates/family and use drug addicts to kidnap important people and subsequently kill them too. Jai Singh also has his moment, when he shoots dead the last terrorist- he cuts off one finger of that terrorist's remains, to trace a fingerprint ID- but the death of Wasim, a close and important associate, by their guns, may have pushed him to this. | |

Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop | |
| 24 (India) / int_a11f8240 | comment |
Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: RAW chief Gill (Mason), who gets blackmailed by a potentially lethal injection from Jai Singh, to reveal his source when Jai Singh merely administered a glucose injection. Eventually, once he's on the same side as Jai, he is a lot more competent. Pradhan's (Aaron Pierce) SFG troops, 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. In another instance of the group not doing their job, they could not notice Jai Singh and fake Max Ferraro come in with weapons to assassinate Aditya. When they eventually capture Jai Singh, he simply opens a high-pressure fluid jet on one of them to escape. Mumbai Police also had one fat constable who harasses Trisha (Teri) and Abhay (Alan York)note Not quite, who are looking for their missing daughters, for a hefty bribe. Averted with city Police Inspector Narvekar (Jesse Hampton), when he sees Jai's badge and offers to help him track downnote Unlike his counterpart in the original show, he is aware of the ATU and offers to have his entire unit help Jai and capture a terrorist accomplice hiding there. Averted with the police from the town where the military academy (where Veer is studying) is located somehow go undercover and bust up a drug trade, but mistakenly arrest Veer as a suspect, only to release him when the Major from the Academy turns up. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
| 24 (India) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
One-Hit Kill: Averted when done with pistols, but played straight, dramatically, with Fan Disservice, when Yakub's sniper takes out Shaina. Once again, Yakub plays it straight by shooting a pistol at point blank range, killing Dev. Most of Max Ferraro's kills happen with one hit. Raja kills one of his men, who wants to back out of a mission, with a pistol shot at close range. Ravindran kills two of his own this way later on. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| 24 (India) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Yakub is cocky and arrogant when he's got Jai Singh under his command, then frustrated and disgusted when the assassination attempt fails, and finally, scared stiff when he gets a warning call from Raja Ravindran. Bala, on the Lotus Cafe terrace, before and when he meets his brother Raja. He's very happy when he hears from Pooja, that she's not leaving the city, then he's happy (or relieved) when he meets Raja, and then shortly afterwards, he's stricken with grief and vows revenge on both Aditya and Jai Singh. One of the prisoners in the top secret detention facility under a forest gets roughed up so much by Jai Singh, he's in a lot of pain and fear. However, once Jai Singh realises that this prisoner is really LTFE chief Ravindran, his mood immediately switches to a mocking, snarking one, as he delights in seeing the predicament Jai Singh is in. | |

Ascended Extra | |
| 24 (India) / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: The assassin posing as photographer Max Ferraro (the Indian counterpart of Jonathan Matijevic, posing as Martin Belkin) doesn't disappear after the first assassination attempt- he returns again, first to kill journalist Mehek Ahuja and then subsequently, to assassinate Trisha and Kiran, kept at the ATU safehouse, and attempts it, leaving them with no hope of survival, until Kiran shoots him dead from behind. Journalist Mehek Ahuja, the Maureen Kingsley counterpart, gets an extended role in Season 1, being based partly on Dr George Ferragamo. Abhilasha Grewal (Alberta Green) returns for the second season. Dr Devyani Bhowmick (Dr Anne Packard) has a longer role to play, especially because her ex-boyfriend happens to be helping terrorists secure biochemical weapons. She's also called on to help the victims of the Gateway Residency (Chandler Plaza) hotel. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| 24 (India) / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: When Trisha leaves the hospital with Abhay in search of Kiran, allegedly held hostage at Gorai, she gets a call from Nikita, who indirectly (unknowingly) tells her that the real Abhay Gupta is dead, and she realises she's with an impostor. Naina Singhania has a stream of Wait, What? moments, especially with the threat to Aditya's life, his insistence on revealing what went wrong during the St Stephens' Graduation function, and his tendency to break security protocols, has at least two- when journalist Mehek Ahuja is killed with political advisor KK's help and cousin Prithvi reveals his mother, Megha was behind it. When the Prime Minister's security detail releases images of likely assassins, press secretary Pooja is in shock because of her relationship with one of them. When the ATU and Jai Singh realise the prisoner in the top secret detention facility is really LTFE chief Ravindran, presumed dead in the operation conducted by Jai Singh. When the guards at the Military Academy, and consequently the dean, Colonel Ajmera, realise that the ATU agent sent to take Veer to base is actually killed and stuffed in the trunk of a car driven by an impostor, who has Veer in custody. Poor, poor Naina Singhania. If the repeated attempts on her son's life, as well as his bravado which is essentially political suicide, are not enough, she finds out in the final hour that her daughter and son-in-law are behind all the attempts on her son's life. She then turns it on Amar Maneshinde, the State Chief Minister and coalition partner leader, with a dark secret. After Dhruv Awasti (Michael Amador) ambushes the troopers chasing him, he gets ambushed- and this is his reaction when he notices he's cornered by Jai, who ambushed him. | |

Pyrrhic Victory | |
| 24 (India) / int_ad9fbc1e | comment |
Pyrrhic Victory: For Aditya Singhania- his life has been saved, and the people of the country have accepted him for coming clean on the St Stephen's Graduation Day incident, and he was eventually sworn in as Prime Minister, but at a cost- all the attempts on his life were by his sister, Divya. For Jai Singh, it is a lot less than it was for the character he was based on- he saves Aditya's life, wipes out the terrorists and eventually saves his wife and children, but his wife, having undergone a very traumatic experience, goes into coma and suffers a seizure, and flatlines. Season 2 ends on a similar note. Jai stops the virus plot and finally kills Roshan Sherchand. ATU discovers the antidote for the virus, so all the people infected who haven't yet succumbed, including Jai's son Veer and PM Singhania, can be cured. However, Roshan, in death, has scored one final victory over Jai - he released the video of Jai being compelled to kill Mallick on social media, and even with the best efforts of ATU to contain it, enough people have seen the damaging footage, including Mallick's mother Nupur...the very last shot of the season is Nupur confronting Jai with a gun and shooting hi point blank. Mallick's ex-husband and erstwhile ATU chief Siddhant Saigal doesn't fare better - he may have freed his son from Roshan, but he has been arrested for sabotaging ATU's mission at Roshan's behest and is charged with treason; and given the seriously of the circumstances, he might not be shown the same leniency Jai was shown after Season 1. To make matters worse, its suggested that Saigal's perceived treason, coupled with the innumerable missteps resulting from Jai's rogue mission, might give the Intelligence Bureau (IB) grounds to take control of ATU. | |

Shaina, who wasn'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, only for said hitman to kill her with one shot, and Yakub to blackmail Mehr on the back of this, to join his team. Subverted with Dev and Rohit, who lied out of fear to Yakub, only for him to kill one. Yotam, one of the virus couriers in Season 2. | |

Aditya proceeds to give a speech at Sambhaji Park in Mumbai, named after the real-life Shivaji Park. Swasth Bharat, an actual Government scheme, is named here. One of the Delta Team's jeeps has R2-D2 as a registration number. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| 24 (India) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: The Indian remake is a much-sanitised version of the original show. Much of Jai Singh's character seems rather toned down, and a lot more emotional. Jack's daughter Kim seems to hate her mother, Teri, and is very cold to her. Here, Jai Singh's daughter Kiran plans a birthday surprise for her mother, whom she loves a lot. Jack Bauer gets his lead from Mason using a tranquiliser. Jai Singh, on the other hand, fakes a lethal injection using glucose. The original show had the two mercenary women, Mandy and Bridgit, as a lesbian couple. Here, Mehr and Shaina are shown as sisters. The random goons whom Dave Palmer confronted eventually mock him by smashing the windshield of his SUV. The goons cornered by Aditya Singhania, however, realise who he is, and walk away in shame. Many of the violent/sexual scenes in the kidnapping and captivity sequences are heavily toned down. In fact, Trisha is saved from the horror that her counterpart Teri had to go through, when facing Qureshi (Stram). The ending of Day One is a lot lighter and softer in the Indian version. For instance, Nikita (Nina Myers) does not kill Trisha (Teri), Kiran (Kim) is safe with the ATU all along while brother Veer (original) is captured by the LTFE (Drazens) and Trisha, hospitalised, flatlines due to a seizure, and her fate is left unknown, even as a depressed Jai Singh is driving across the city. Not so soft for Aditya Singhania (David Palmer?), who discovers that the assassination attempts on him were planned by his own sister and her husband. Jai doesn't end up getting addicted to heroin to go undercover to capture Roshan Sherchan- but turns alcoholic after the death of his wife Trisha (Teri), but still ends up being put on 'medical leave', in alcohol rehab, off ATU duty. This was part of a sting operation to capture the Sherchans (Salazars). The arc involving Shibani's son having autism is a much toned-down version of that about Erin Driscoll's schizophrenic daughter. In Season 2 of the original, President David Palmer orders a military strike on three countries by manned aircraft, and aborting that would have serious consequences. In this show's second season, Prime Minister Aditya orders a drone strike on the terrorists and the virus handlers, and when he gets a confirmation, he orders the military to abort the strike, with no consequences at all. By the end of the season, the last virus vial is dispersed in a washing machine, and nobody alive loses an arm or leg- the only arm or leg getting chopped was of a dead guard at the Sherchans' (Salazars') farmhouse. | |

Red Shirts: Plenty across the show, much like the original. The guards at the Sherchan farmhouse wear red shirts- and don't last long. | |

Despair Event Horizon | |
| 24 (India) / int_dda99fa8 | comment |
Despair Event Horizon: For Sidharth Sehgal, who was largely confident and authoritative, but hardly emotional, the death of his ex-wife Shibani Mallick left him grieving in the last eight hours of the day, and even committing treason to save her family. | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| 24 (India) / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
Drugs Are Bad: Early example being Kiran's and Janhavi's male friends, who kidnap them to hand them over to Yakub, for drug money. This eventually causes Dev's violent death at gunpoint. Simran, a random girl whom Veer met at a restaurant, noticed the hard way when drug addicts raided her apartment looking for drugs stashed away by her brother. Then there's the arc involving Kush Sawant, based on Kyle Singer. | |

Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique | |
| 24 (India) / int_e154ff08 | comment |
Jai Singh Rathod Interrogation Technique: Played mildly, so far. Lampshaded at first, as Jai Singh first uses it when he tries to extract information from RAW Chief Gill, 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 until Jai mentions that he administered merely a glucose injection. A more forceful version happens when he grabs and pins down Nikita, suspecting her of being a terror mole, until Jiah, the IT analyst and this show's counterpart of Jamey Farrell, confirms that it wasn't Nikita who was involved with the files transferred to the card held by fallen terrorists. The interrogation even uses the same English lines from the original series. Immediately deconstructed by guilt. An even more forceful atempt has him roughing up Pervez in his jail cell, and threatening him at gunpoint. Pervez mocks it all along. A desperate Jai Singh captures a random person suspecting him of carrying an attack weapon to kill Janhavi in the hospital. The man was just carrying food from home because he didn't like hospital food. Jai Singh captures Tarun Khosla, a businessman with connections to Yakub, and attacks him brutally, and finding out about his asthma problem, chokes him, till he's near death. He then tries to save him. Tarun dies. Another attempt to interrogate Karthiknote fake Abhay Gupta doesn't happen so easily, and Karthik fights him hard, until Jai captures him, and has to promise to let him go once he finds out about his wife and daughter. When Jai Singh enters a top secret detention facility in Mumbai, he's very brutal with one of two prisoners, whom the LTFE want to break out. This prisoner is revealed to be Ravindran, the chief of the LTFE. | |

Also in Season 2 Siddhart Saigal, the Ryan Chappelle counterpart, survives. This might be because he's actually a Composite Character who has certain aspects of Tony Almeida's part from the original. | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Much of the conflict between the LTFE and Aditya Singhania, including Bala's human bomb trap, are based on actual LTTE methods, including the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, former Prime Minister of India still vying for the chair at that time. | |

The Mole | |
| 24 (India) / int_e70127 | comment |
The Mole: Jiah happens to be planted in the ATU by Yakub. Even the Prime Minister's entourage isn't clear- they have Vikrant, Aditya's brother-in-law directly talking to terror mastermind Raja, and Pooja, the secretary in a relationship with Bala. In Season 2, An unknown mole had uploaded the video of Jai shooting Mallick dead on social media. The season ended without this being found out. | |

Sniper Rifle: Yakub's hitman uses one to good effect- except when needed most. Both Yakub and Karthik use them to good effect against Jai Singh in the jungle. Another sniper working for the LTFE appears when Jai is captured by them. | |

Artistic License – Geography- Not only are the maps and location names in Season 3 fictional, the driver of a car-carrying truck talks of a delivery of cars from the Chinchwad factory, near Pune. The cars are Suzuki models. Maruti-Suzuki (as it's known in India) has a factory far away in North India, in Manesar, Haryana, and not in Pune. | |

Decomposite Character | |
| 24 (India) / int_f0508c08 | comment |
Decomposite Character: Jack's daughter Kim, into Jai Singh's daughter Kiran and son Veer. In Season 2, Kiran plays out Kim's story-arc from Season 2 (rescuing her neighbour's daughter from an Abusive Parent) while Veer has a role similar to Kim's role from Season 3 (as an intelligence agent). Tony Almeida into Tejpal Sandhu (Season 1) and Vedant Acharya (Season 2) Tony's a more complicated case in Season 2, as certain aspects of his character/arc are split between two characters - Vedant Acharya and Siddhant Saigal (who's also the Ryan Chappelle counterpart). Vedant plays Tony's role as Jai's close colleague and partner in the sting operation against the Sherchan (Salazar) brothers; while Saigal plays Tony's role as the husband of Mallick (Michelle Dessler's counterpart) who eventually gets compromised by the Big Bad and sabotages ATU's efforts to capture him. This appears to have been done to Chase Edmunds too- into Raj Singh Bhakta (who captures a drug dealer and then tries to capture Kush (Kyle) later) and Rapid Action Force lead Col Subir (who tries to capture Jai, who seems to have gone rogue), and eventually Vedant (who assists Jai on field). The second season does it once more- the Ryan Chappelle character was Kamaljeet Sood (RAW boss) earlier, and now he's Sidhanth Saigal (IB boss). Also, Shibani Mallick takes Chappelle's place as the fellow agent Jai is forced to kill on the orders of the Big Bad. Dr Ted Packard into Dr Bhisham Bhowmick and Dhruv Awasthi. | |

TheUNFavourite | |
| 24 (India) / int_f19ff224 | comment |
The Un-Favourite: Divya, Aditya's sister, felt she was this, which is why she staged repeated assassination attempts on Aditya. Prithvi was also played up as this, so that he would appear as the mole, and was often considered this by his mother, who had a deep-rooted hatred for the other side of the family- but he never really wanted to be Prime Minister. | |

Mercy Kill | |
| 24 (India) / int_f3626b09 | comment |
Mercy Kill: Season 2, based largely on Season 3 of the original, invokes it a few times. Dr Devyani Bhowmick is accused of administering it to patients under her care, who ask for it, being final stage cancer patients. Haroon (Hector) asks Roshan (Ramon) to do this after Jai stabs him and he is dying. Veer offers his gun to a dying Gyan (Gael), who is too sick to even pick it up and can't talk because of the cough | |

Product Placement | |
| 24 (India) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: The show is officially called "Tata Safari Storme presents: 24" in Season 1 and "Maruti Suzuki S-Cross presents: 24" in Season 2. Averted initially. 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 XUV5OO, made by rival company Mahindra. The first product that got some coverage, in a negative way, is a Mercedes E-Class, where Kiran and her friend are taken for a ride- only to get kidnapped, and one of the kidnappers uses its door to inflict injuries on Jhanvi. We see the monogram in dark, as it is seen clearly, casting a shadow over the white hood of the car. Played straight beginning Day 1 Hour 6 - It's a subliminal commercial for Tata Safari Storme. Come daylight, and we see several Tata cars with their monograms visible- first a Tata Safari Storme, then another, then a Manza, and then a Nano, and then an Aria for the Prime Minister, and an Indica that Jai Singh hijacks, and later a Sumo, which he steals. Terrorist mastermind Raja is seen travelling in an Audi SUV. Jai Singh uses a Samsung Galaxy to make and receive calls, and even gives his GPS co-ordinates with it. The Roaring Rampage of Revenge in the final hour of the first season is an explosive, unsubtle commercial for the Tata Safari Storme, as Jai comes smashing through the LTFE hideout in the docks, and then smashes the Storme into a generic black sedan carrying Raja. With a change in title sponsor for Season 2, Jai's vehicle of choice is a Maruti-Suzuki S-Cross. Various Maruti-Suzuki vehicles (Baleno, Ertiga) are named, while the monograms of other vehicles are censored. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| 24 (India) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Trisha and Kiran, when captured by Yakub, eventually become Badass in Distress. They learn how to shoot a handgun from Rohit when in captivity, and when Yakub's man Qureshi tries to crush Kiran, Trisha shoots him dead. Later on, when they are on the run from the fake Max Ferraro, the van in which they're riding gets hit and the driver, killed, and the van flips and crashes. Fake Max sees everyone lying still and motionless, and having killed the driver and left the van in a state from which nobody can survive, he tells Raja that he has done the job, and asks for pay, only for Kiran to shoot him dead from behind. The Prime Minister's Press Secretary, Pooja Bhardwaj, is a cute, smiling, reliable professional, who can also be wildly romantic, when we see her with Bala Ravindran. But when she realises that she's been in love with an LTFE terrorist looking to assassinate the Prime Minister, she is extremely grief-stricken, but regains composure to plant a tracker in his wallet when she meets him again. Just as they're having a passionate embrace, and her mission is as good as over, she snatches a knife and stabs him repeatedly, till he falls unconscious. Aditya Singhania's sister, Divya, is responsible for organising his press meetings, rallies and interviews, and also has to keep her drunk, abusive husband Vikrant at bay, and is very much a mainstay in the Prime Mnister's entourage. However, she is ultimately the one who's using Ravindran and his militia to assassinate her own brother. | |
