... ~~that the web-series The Siege Within, a retelling of the 2016 Indian Line of Control strike, does not have patriotic excesses?~~ Avrodh is a retelling, sans any jingoistic and provocative dialogues or scenes // Overall, Avrodh is an interesting watch which is not marred by patriotic fervour, ...and director Raj Acharya presents it as mere facts, without the series coming off as hyper-nationalistic., steers clear of unnecessary excessives
- ALT1:... ~~that the web-series The Siege Within, a retelling of the 2016 Uri attack and the following 2016 Indian Line of Control strike, is not excessively patriotic?~~
- ALT2:... ~~that M4A1s, Galils, and TAR-21s, weapons part of the original arsenal used in India's 2016 Indian Line of Control strike, are visible in the web-series The Siege Within?~~ M4A1 carbines, Galil sniper and TAR-21 assault rifles that were part of the original arsenal make fleeting appearances.

New enough, long enough, DYK check clear, good refs. QPQ needs to be done? I can see a few, but is there a way to easily check? In any event, I'm a bit concerned about the hooks, they won't mean much to anyone not familiar with these events. Perhaps:

- ALT3:... that the web-series The Siege Within meticulously details the planning for India's retaliatory military strike following the 2016 Uri terrorist attacks?

Maury Markowitz, thank you for the review. ALT3 is much better. I have cut the others. QPQ started/done. DTM (talk) 12:43, 15 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Good to go! Fascinating topic BTW, if you'd like a peer review feel free to ping me (although very busy right now with back-to-school, maybe October?). Maury Markowitz (talk) 00:24, 17 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
