'Waiting Hai' review: India’s Tatkal ticket nightmare gets a quirky crime drama treatment

Highlights

  • Waiting Hai turns India's familiar Tatkal ticket struggle into a quirky crime drama
  • Divyenndu Sharma and Bhuvan Arora deliver strong performances as a railway cop and a young hacker
  • The series loses momentum because of uneven writing and distracting tonal shifts

Set in Patna, the seven-episode series brings together a rookie railway cop, a technically gifted student and a network of illegal agents. While the premise is engaging and the performances are convincing, inconsistent writing keeps the series from becoming the gripping scam thriller it could have been.

A familiar railway struggle gets a criminal twist

At the centre of the story is Sugam Mishra (Divyenndu Sharma), a newly recruited Railway Protection Force constable who is still learning the ropes of his profession and marriage.
