HOUSE OF CARDS
– INDIA IS WAITING
The impact
that the Indian adaptation of American hit series 24 has had on the audiences
has been phenomenal, as most of the television critics have rated it as one of
the game changers for the Indian television industry, the Indian edition was
produced by Anil Kapoor who also starred in it, the series had a brilliant
ensemble cast which is the second most exciting thing after a solid script, the
two dozen episodes did well and people are looking forward to a second season.
There is
another very exciting American show which goes by the name of HOUSE OF CARDS
(HOC) and is being broadcasted by NETFLIX and has a good potential to be
imported and customized for the Indian palate.
HOUSE OF CARDS
is currently in season 2 in the states and ZEE in India is showing the first
season on their English entertainment channel ZEE CAFÉ.
In lead role
we have one of the finest actors of this generation KEVIN SPACEY who is etched
in our minds for his portrayal of LESTER BURNHAM in AMERICAN BEAUTY which won
him the best actor honours at the Academy awards in 1999. SPACEY along with
FOREST GUMP star ROBIN WRIGHT bring to you a delightful depiction of an
extremely driven American couple out there to CHANGE things.
The plot of
HOC is as old as the civilisation with subtext of deceit, revenge, obstacles
and success which translates into a universal theme. A lot of inferences on how
people have reached a “certain “ position after “certain” struggle really grab
your attention and will be easily absorbed in an emerging economy like India with
half the population below 35.
To the team of
HOUSE OF CARDS and BEAU WILLIMON, INDIA is waiting for its delightful import.
