Didn't expect The Final Call to be so Good
anchanneeraj26 March 2019
The Final Call is my first series to be completed on Zee5. Honestly speaking I didn't expect this to be as good as it was. I just saw a regular trailer and the concept of suspense drew me towards it. Started watching it and then got glued to it. The story is intriguing with some amazing performances from Arjun Rampal, Javed Jaffery, Sakshi Tanwar, Neeraj Kabi and the actress who played the lead Air Hostess. I could have given 9 but little disappointed with the end and the CGI scenes of the Airplane. But otherwise, it was a very good series to watch. Neeraj Kabi continues to impress with calm personality always keeping us guessing. Arjun was good. But Sakshi Tanwar stole the show. She was the iron women of the show looked completely in control even in scenes where her character becomes weak. The direction is spot on specially when you need to connect with scenes in different timelines. Overall it's a nice series to watch if you like the suspense genre.

You'll find it boring till you connect the spiritual aspect
shankargovind-5278120 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
If we keep aside some of the the logical inconsistencies, this series holds a lot for the viewer. If you are just looking for an out and out thriller, you'd be disappointed with the back stories and the slow pace. One cannot blame viewers in expecting that either since the story starts off like an awesome thriller. However, the moment you connect the dots to see the direct references to Mahabharata, Bhagvad Gita, the life of Buddha and spirituality in general, the narrative makes a lot more sense.

Credit must be given where it is due..it's a great story and the concept is novel. Waiting for season 2...if they make one.

Engaging
Shuchitan23 February 2019
Loved the screenplay and the performances by the actors ! Sakshi Tanwar gets the best lines and deserves a very special mention for that underplayed performance Can't wait for more episodes

NOT ENGAGING
akshaygautam511 April 2019
Some first episodes are really good .... keeps u thrilled but as you move to the ending episodes it just get boring and predictable .. Just got frustrated with that astrologer baba who keeps u giving gayan.. Really really poor direction because story and dialogues doesn't look realistic at all ,also poor background score.. I mean its a good series but not that level which keeps you thrilled from starting to ending like in Mirzapur ,Sacred Games, and recently Criminal Justice... but a good attempt

These type of thrillers are the future of OTT
majumderrupak22 March 2019
Such a masterpiece! I didn't expect it to be a blockbuster. But I am happy that all the crew and artists proved me wrong.

As usual brilliant performance by Arjun Rampal, one of the most underrated actor in Bollywood. It was full of thrilling experiences! Awesome screenplay by the team.

A wonderful job by ZEE5 team, wish to see some more brilliancy from you people.

An Engaging and mostly sincere series!
MaverickV18 August 2019
Acting - All the actors - Arjun, Neeraj, Sakshi, Anupriya, Javed etc. have done tremendous job in playing their role. Though I would have liked to see Javed's and Paula's characters to have been lil more developed during the process.

Both the direction and writing seems to be on the dot mostly. Keeping the thrills going even till the last episode. Though mostly they seem to have keep the drama going overboard and melodramatic, at times I felt some scenes could have been written better. Neeraj's role with spiritual angle is refreshing, and i mean this - almost they pulled it off with sincerity. Though some of the dialogues could have even more depth and informational.

All in all, a much better series for Indian audience. Great job.

One of the best series in online
anue-6227122 March 2019
Excellent acting by the Main leads Arjun Rampal and Sakshi tanwar. No words to say about their acting talent. Their screen presence and scenes was a visual treat. Especially i loved Arjun Rampal to the core. He lived like a real Pilot. Other supporting actors too did their part very well. I watched 4 epsiodes of season 1 in one go, and today again i watched the 4 episodes of season 2 without a gap. Till the climax the thrill is not reduced even by 1%. Directors should utilize Arjun rampal and sakshi tanwar more.. they are simply outstanding actors. I would strongly recommend everyone to watch this thrilling series. So far this was the best series i ever watched in online. I should definitely appreciate zee5 for uploading this series with a great quality along with subtitles. There is not even a single interruption while watching the show. Thank you zee5 for the great service.

Decent thriller but horrible lack of aviation knowledge
stevemartis2 August 2022
The premise intrigued me and I just love anything related to aeroplanes. Hence I went ahead and watched this. I don't know about a common person watching this but for a flight enthusiast, this was painful to watch. What starts off as a Boeing 737 with winglets morphs into a 737 without winglets. Then we realise that it's actually a Boeing 777. In the middle of the series the plane is a now a 2 engined 747, like make up your mind people. Also in the scene where a midnair collision is about to happen, the ATC says an A380 is in its path but that's just a twin engined A330 if i recall correctly. In the last episode the plane becomes an Airbus A330, an A320 and finally ends up being an A330. This lack of consistency is really jarring.

The plane takes off from Mumbai to fly to Sydney. Throughout the journey even when it's flying over Indonesia or asked to land at Port Blair, the contact is only with Mumbai ATC and not the respective airport's ATC, like Mumbai ATC is the only ATC of the world.

Acting was pretty good. Arjun Rampal was just amazing. The story was flowy except for some stretched out backstories that weren't all that great. The ending could have been better.

Still not there yet (but it's getting there)
perlshop18 October 2019
I think the worst type of direction is when you see flashbacks of last episodes all the time, and this serial is just full of it.

It's like they didn't have enough footage so they kept showing scenes from last episodes in the current episode to show somebody realizing something.

The story was a nice change from the usual hijack stories but unfortunately the slow pace made it unbearable to watch. I had to fast forward almost 50% of the last episode just so I could see the final conclusion.

It's getting there but not there yet because of bad direction and slow pace.

Hats off to direction and acting, an absolute thriller
prashantsaini7624 February 2019
Before I start, one thing i tell you, Arjun Rampal is one of the most Underrated actors. The kind of acting skills he has shown in this TV series was a treat to watch. Sakshi Tanvar did a great job. This will give you an excellent thrilling experience such that it keeps you engaged at every single moment. I ensure that you will become fan of Arjun Rampal (If not already) after watching this. Zee5 is really producing some good shows which are beyond the expectations. Once again, cheers to the direction. Eagerly waiting for season 2. Already watched season 1 two times.

Fantastic first four, garbage next four
hiddenstranger31 March 2019
This was an amazing web series till the end of the episode 4. An open ended ending was far better than coming up with last four episodes try making it closed eneded ending. Last four (5-8) are no better then typical bollywood ( senseless one u seen in 90s) no logic, pathetic story weaving and what not. No many cooks spoil the broth and too many episodes just plugged in for more viewer ship juat spoilt the magnificent experience first four episodes made on viewers. The rest depends on viewers

chirag-0632221 March 2019
Storyline is quite intresting,it will keep you hooked as you will want to get to the bottom of the plot.Who belive in astrology and all things ,They can enjoy this series very much:)

The show's asset is the performances delivered by the actors.The performances are understated, to the point and without unnecessary drama.

Watch THE FINAL CALL for its unusual storyline, talented bunch of actors and unexpected twists.

Edge of the seat thrill
guptaayush-1363828 February 2019
Amazing direction. Great storyline. Fuelled by top-notch acting by Arjun Rampal (I am pissed to see that he's so underrated!!!!) and each and every artist do their job perfectly.

It's a breath of fresh air in the world of Indian digital video streaming, where almost all the shows are based on gang fights and sex. It keeps you hooked to the last minute and leaves you needing for more.

This is one of the best Indian web series I've ever seen.

P.S - I guess it's not complete. Probably they'll add few more episodes.

Starts as a thriller but becomes drama towards the end
saranshgoyal12 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The show starts off with amazing pace. Its thrilling and mysterious, but the story suddenly starts to move at 0.25x after 4th episode. 5th episode suddenly makes you feel that there was some emergency brakes applied during a roller coaster ride, and everything 5th episode onwards is philosophical and related to life after death, karma and astrology. However, all the drama and talk about life after death makes sense during the last 15 minutes of the season finale, and the director leaves the audience with the freedom to look at the lead actor with 2 different point of views - A villain or a hero !! And that's the brilliance of a cinematic ending. Definitely one time watch.

Boring as hell
gupta-nitin-30-8506095 April 2019
Too many boring backstories. Too little action. Horribly inaccurate in terms of aviation.

The Final Call is the story about the end as its name.
Anubhav_Kumar_Yadav24 February 2019
The Final Call is a tragedy created by the pilot's suicide attempt, after which it seems like a plane hijack.

Good Characters. Lackluster Story
parthkakkar5 July 2020
Characters are excellent but they aren't protraid well because of the story being lackluster. If you want to see interesting characters then I would recommend this but story wise and overall its just alright.

Best but the last episode is Very bad.
abhisheksharmaak17 March 2019
Seems like you did not finish the script and just started making the series. Firat three epusodes are very very good.Thrillling and deep and interesting. But, you did not connect all elements of the story in a nice way in last episode. Last episode ma saara maza kharaab kr diya.

What a story !!!!
jitesh-4310526 February 2019
I think it's one of the best story I have ever watch , only series to get full marks . Kudos to story writer Priya kumar , best acting by arjun rampal . A must watch series . Series is based on Priya Kumar's book "I will go with you ". Arjun rampal is pilot of the flight , who wants to end his life . Rest you have to watch . But must watch .

A So-So Series
asolomon-4619116 November 2022
The series overall is just about average. Firstly, it was too long and should have wrapped up in 4 episodes. Secondly, why did each episode begin with such sad, depressing, unnecessarily long stories. In fact, many of the sub plots did not have much to do with the main story. Thirdly and annoyingly, the background score was too loud and drowned out the speech of the actors. Fourthly, the CGI was really poor. The scenes showing the airplane in the sky is testament to this. Fifthly, instead of taking the opportunity to showcase how an airplane correctly operates, the pilot was punching switches and buttons randomly taking the audience literally for a ride.

You can safely give this a miss and watch something else. This series could have been so much better.
