Great marketing stunt by Anil sir. But honestly, the show's concept felt a bit outdated even in Season 2. Hope they bring a fresh, contemporary twist if they're making a new season. The original thrill was unmatched though.
Yesss! This is the news I needed. Bring back the entire team if possible. The real-time format was so gripping. Fingers crossed for a big announcement soon. #24Returns
Living in India for work, I watched this show with my colleagues. It was a fantastic way to understand the local thriller genre. Anil Kapoor's energy is incredible. Looking forward to more!
The cast was always top-notch. Hope they bring back Sakshi Tanwar and others. But with so many new OTT shows, they'll have to really up their game to stand out now.
Wah! This is exciting news. Anil Kapoor still has that swag. 24 was our family's favorite weekend watch. My dad will be thrilled. Hope the writing is as tight as before.
