The secondary characters do hamper the show's flow but they were needed to be played by relatively known faces. The makers haven't compromised in casting as the actors, who are well versed with the grammar of cinema, are convincing enough to give '24' the feel of celluloid, at least in India where the audience is used to loud background score and twitched lips of vamps. The Indian version of '24' is much more progressive than other daily soaps which show dolled up women doing nothing but hatching plans. On that front, Nikita Rai (Mandira Bedi) and Trisha (Tisca Chopra) are the forerunner of a welcome change because they are courageous enough to go out of the home late in the night for a worthy cause. And yes, they are also fine in talking about their past despite a red signal from their male counterparts. Though the claims of changing the Indian TV scenario forever looks a bit exaggerated at this stage but the attempts made by the makers are enough to raise applauses because very rarely do the viewers encounter a TV show where they are not tired of its one hour length.
