Part one of The Freelancer must be one of the most riveting thrillers to have come out of Disney+ Hotstar. This Neeraj Pandey venture is all about action and the politics of the religion that has engulfed a certain part of the Middle Eastern region. There is a lot uncovered by the makers of the show in the first part about radical and moderate Islamists and how these ideologically different groups of the same faith operate. Besides all the above, it was about saving a young woman named Aliya who was forced by her husband’s family to live in Isis-occupied Syria.
The first part of The Freelancer ended with Aliya’s brother and sister-in-law blowing themselves up inside a crowded medina. Aliya was soon able to fathom the brutality with which Isis operated. Aliya is yet to be rescued by Avinash, along with the assistance of the CIA, but...

Disney+ Hotstar’s new extraction drama, The Freelancer, is set across the Middle East, North Africa, and India. Part one of the show, just through four episodes, tells us the story of a mercenary who is desperate to rescue a young 21-year-old woman from an Isis-controlled area. Neeraj Pandey is known for delivering some good stories in this genre.

Spoilers Ahead
Inayat Khan’s Quest For His Daughter

Neeraj Pandey is known to give audiences out-of-the-box stories surrounding the Indian intelligence agencies that safeguard national security. Two seasons of Special Ops, Baby, and A Wednesday, are among the riveting works of Neeraj Pandey. With The Freelancer, he dives into the lives of mercenaries, especially from India, who end up having to do contract work for organizations and countries around the world. Adapted from Shirish Thorat’s novel “A Ticket to Syria,” the Disney+ Hotstar special has released four episodes so far which revolves around an ex-cop turned mercenary who takes it upon himself to extract a young woman from Syria.

Neeraj Pandey’s The Freelancer, the brand-new action thriller web series, takes us through a war-torn Syria, which has become one of the most hostile regions of the world. The premise for the thriller series has been adapted from Shirish Thorat’s popular book, A Ticket to Syria. The biggest giveaway here is the nature of the genre. On the surface, The Freelancer is a rescue mission, but at its core, it takes us through the lawlessness of a particular region of the country and the rampant radicalization happening in the name of religion. The tense visuals, coupled with hardcore action sequences, add to the grittiness of the narrative presented in the trailer.
