Rating: 

If a script has been adapted several times over around the world, one can safely assume that it holds promise. In that regard, Tisca Chopra and Ronit Roy have the advantage of a strong foundation in Hostages, the latest web series from Hotstar, which finds its roots in the popular Israeli show Bnei Aruba created by Omri Givon and Rotem Shamir. But the question is, does the latest retelling — helmed by Sudhir Mishra — go beyond the 2013 fare?
