Review
Streaming on Dice Media’s YouTube Channel, Bravehearts is India’s first army anthology dedicated to the humans behind the heroes in the Indian army. This series remains true to its essence throughout its five episodes. All the characters have very well portrayed their character as one can feel every emotion portrayed on screen.
Moreover, the small nuances like the regiment song in episode two, the body language of characters playing army officers, and the use of ranks and other details in writing make this web series relatable.
If you are looking for something different to watch in the army-related entertainment segment, then Dice Bravehearts can be a good choice.
