History Series / TwentyFourIndia

** Cliffhanger: Some episodes of Season end this way, especially when a gunshot is fired near the end of the episode. Season 2 itself ends this way.

* AdaptationalComicRelief: Mihir, based on Milo Pressman in Season 1 and Adam Kaufmann in Season 2. Vedant, based on Tony Almeida from Season 2, is also a more light-hearted person.

* BilingualBonus: Though this is a largely Hindi-language show, there are plenty of English dialogues spoken.

* "Shoot on sight"

** Season 2 of the Indian version, in many ways, ends up being DarkerAndEdgier than Season 3 of the original that it is based on. [[spoiler: Unlike in the original, Kush Sawant (Kyle Singer) and his girlfriend are actually exposed to the virus. There is, thus far, no immunity to the virus, unlike in the original (though there's the possibility of a cure being developed). Jai's son Veer is one of the agents in the hotel who is exposed to the virus, and he is apparently infected to it, making the situation even more tragic for Jai. To make things worse, while in the original, it was the largely unsympathetic Ryan Chapelle that the BigBad ordered Jack to kill, in this version it is the ''far'' more likable Shibani Mallick whom Jai is forced to kill - his protegee and close colleague, and a single mother with an autistic child. Towards the end of the season, the Prime Minister himself is also infected. Last but not the least, since in this version, it is Roshan Sherchan who continues to be the BigBad and mastermind behind the virus attack throughout the season, it means that Jai, who broke him out of prison, is more directly responsible for everything that is happening, including the personal tragedies that have befallen him!]]

* MythologyGag: In Season 2, Kiran (Jai's daughter) is an interior designer, much like Terri Bauer (her mother's counterpart in the original show) was.

* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: Yakub blackmailed mercenary Meher into joining his troop as a full-time member [[spoiler:by having her sister killed by the sniper]], but she is not seen any longer after that scene, and nothing is known about her even after [[spoiler:Jai Singh kills Yakub]]. She does return in the [[spoiler:virus sale scene in Season 2]], but disappears again.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Bala says this when he kills [[spoiler:Karthik]], with an example of race horses.

** The second season does it once more- the Ryan Chappelle character was Kamaljeet Sood (RAW boss) earlier, and now he's Sidhanth Saigal (IB boss).

** Season 2 ends on a similar note. [[spoiler: Jai stops the virus plot and finally kills Roshan Sherchand. ATU discovers the antidote for the virus, so all the people infected who haven't yet succumbed, including Jai's son Veer and PM Singhania, can be cured]]. However, [[spoiler: Roshan, in death, has scored one final victory over Jai - he released the video of Jai being compelled to kill Mallick on social media, and even with the best efforts of ATU to contain it, enough people have seen the damaging footage, including Mallick's mother Nupur...the very last shot of the season is Nupur confronting Jai with a gun and shooting hi point blank. Mallick's ex-husband and erstwhile ATU chief Siddhant Saigal doesn't fare better - he may have freed his son from Roshan, but he has been arrested for sabotaging ATU's mission at Roshan's behest and is charged with treason; and given the seriously of the circumstances, he might not be shown the same leniency Jai was shown after Season 1]].

* TheManBehindTheMan: In doubles. Yakub is shown to be behind a lot of things going wrong, be it the photographer's body double, a few kidnappings, a mole in the ATU, but eventually, [[spoiler: he is found taking orders from Raja- who, in turn, is getting dirty work done for Vikrant, Aditya's brother-in-law]]. Even then, we find that Raja, son of LTFE Patriarch Ravindran, believed to be slain by Jai Singh, [[spoiler:is helping Ravindran break out of a top secret prison]], who then subsequently runs the operation. He, too, is ultimately found taking orders from [[spoiler:Divya, Aditya's sister]].

* DeathByAdaptation: In this adaptation, the Indian counterparts of [[spoiler:reporter Maureen Kingsley (Mehek Ahuja)]] and [[spoiler:Jonathan Matijevic (the assassin posing as photographer Max)]] do not survive. In the next season, [[spoiler:Omkar (Oriol)]] and [[spoiler:Shantaram (Kevin Kelly)]] end up dead.

** Vedant, who starts off as the Tony Almeida character, becomes Jai's partner on field, much like Chase Edmunds.

** Dr Devyani Bhowmick (Dr Anne Packard) has a longer role to play, especially because her ex-boyfriend happens to be [[spoiler:helping terrorists secure biochemical weapons]].

** Season 2 of the Indian version, in many ways, ends up being DarkerAndEdgier than Season 3 of the original that it is based on. [[spoiler: Unlike in the original, Kush Sawant (Kyle Singer) and his girlfriend are actually exposed to the virus. There is, thus far, no immunity to the virus, unlike in the original (though there's the possibility of a cure being developed). Jai's son Veer is one of the agents in the hotel who is exposed to the virus, and he is apparently infected to it, making the situation even more tragic for Jai.

** This appears to have been done to Chase Edmunds too- into Raj Singh Bhakta (who captures a drug lord and then tries to capture Kush (Kyle) later) and Rapid Action Force lead Col Subir (who tries to capture Jai, who seems to have gone rogue).

** After Dhruv Awasti (Michael Amador) ambushes the troopers chasing him, he gets ambushed- and this is his reaction when he notices he's cornered by Jai, who ambushed him.

** In Season 2, some patients of Dr Devyani (Dr Anne Packard) end up in this condition, being final stage cancer patients. An inquiry commission in her hospital suspects her of euthanising these patients.

* DeathByAdaptation: In this adaptation, the Indian counterparts of [[spoiler:reporter Maureen Kingsley (Mehek Ahuja)]] and [[spoiler:Jonathan Matijevic (the assassin posing as photographer Max)]] do not survive. Later on, [[spoiler:Omkar (Oriol)]] is shot dead.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Far and away, darker and grittier than most Indian crime/suspense shows. Anil Kapoor's character in this show is darker and rougher than the one he played in the original series- but then, he was a well-groomed President in the original. Season 2 takes this even further, showing the victims of a deadly virus in captivity- and it is based on Season 3 of the original, which had the Cordilla virus.

** Surprisingly enough, this happens to [[spoiler: Stephen Saunders, the BigBad of the original's Season 3]]. His role in the latter half of the season is fulfilled by [[spoiler: Roshan Sherchand (Ramon Salazar)]].

** Any episode set in Mumbai, Pune or elsewhere in Maharashtra will have plenty of Marathi spoken. The use of Marathi is confusing- in Season 1, it was used for the Spanish lines. In season 2, counterparts of English-speaking Americans end up speaking both Hindi and Marathi, but those of the Spanish-speaking characters don't speak it.

** Roshan Sherchand, the BigBad of Season 2, is directly based on the original's Ramon Salazar, but unlike in the original, survives to play the part played by Stephen Saunders in the original's Season 3.

** Season 2 of the Indian version, in many ways, ends up being DarkerAndEdgier than Season 3 of the original that it is based on. [[spoiler: Unlike in the original, Kush Sawant (Kyle Singer) and his girlfriend are actually exposed to the virus. There is, thus far, no immunity to the virus, unlike in the original (though there's the possibility of a cure being developed). Jai's son Veer is one of the agents in the hotel who is exposed to the virus, and he is apparently infected to it, making the situation even more tragic for Jai.

* JerkassHasAPoint: More so than in the original, the remake emphasizes this trope in the context of Jai's [[spoiler: rogue mission against the Sherchand (Salazar) brothers]] in Season 2. Siddharth Sehgal, Abhilasha Grewal, Roy and other intelligence higher-ups who are critical of Jai may come across as unsympathetic characters, but they are more than justified in calling Jai out on his [[spoiler: reckless unsanctioned operation that violated numerous laws and endangered several lives]].

** Senator John Keeler and Chloe O'Brien have no counterparts in this show.

** Shibani Mallick, the ATU chief in Season 2, seems to be loosely based on Erin Driscoll from Season 4 of the original (she has an autistic son), but performs the role played by Michelle Dessler in Season 3, so far.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Shibani Mallick (Michelle Dessler) and Sidhant Saigal (the second Ryan Chappelle).

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Nice job, Raja Ravindran. You completely flipped off Jai Singh by pretending to kill his son in your custody.

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Ravindran, the supreme leader of the LTFE]]. This is also used by the ATU to save Aditya Singhania's life (guess how they do it).

** Roshan Sherchan (Ramon Salazar)- on death row, he first finishes off a senior prison guard and then [[spoiler:is helped on his way out by Jai Singh]].

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Haroon (Hector) does not walk out of the virus deal, but is just very impatient. [[spoiler:Roshan (Ramon) does not kill his brother, but when Jai stabs him, tries to save him- and fails- and screams loudly in grief.]]

* AdaptationalWimp: Omkar (Oriol), who gets beaten up a few times by Haroon (Hector), and was beaten up savagely by Jai (ordered by [[spoiler:Roshan (Ramon)]]).

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Nobody knows what happened to Rohit, who was hiding when the ATU picked up Jai Singh and his family, after he [[spoiler:killed Yakub and most of his men]], after having a major role to play in the events of Day One. While the Nina Myers character (Nikita Rai) does not return for unknown reasons, [[spoiler:Mehr (Mandy) appears in the virus deal scene, helping out Dhruv Awasthi (Michael Amador)]].
** Most of the ATU officials in Season 1 seem to have disappeared without explanation. Maybe one will return in a FaceHeelTurn.

* DeathByAdaptation: In this adaptation, the Indian counterparts of [[spoiler:reporter Maureen Kingsley (Mehek Ahuja)]] and [[spoiler:Jonathan Matijevic (the assassin posing as photographer Max)]] do not survive.

** Averted with Nikita Rai. Mandira Bedi, who's playing this show's counterpart of the character played by Sarah Clarke, is a very well known Indian model, but as she herself says, she is "wearing a lot of clothes in this show".
** Played straight with Mehek Ahuja, the journalist played by Suchitra Pillai, who has a [[SceneryCensor conveniently-censored]] bathtub scene. [[spoiler:She's killed shortly afterwards.]]

** While Milo Pressman was shown as a slightly indifferent freelancer hired by the CTU, his Indian counterpart, Mihir, is shown as a parody of the Information Technology professional, and his dislike for obstructive bureaucracy is played up heavily.

** Tej Pal Singh sticks to the rules of the ATU, and RAW, which often governs the ATU. However, when he realises something is amiss, and [[spoiler:Jiah]] is a mole for Yakub, he eventually helps Jai clear his name and take down Yakub, and stands up for Jai when Abhilasha tries to extract information from him.

* OpeningNarration: Used copiously for the very first episode, with references to terrorist attacks and newspaper clippings on screen. Even the "Events occur in real time" disclaimer is narrated, every episode, in Hindi, while the print is shown in English.
* ProductPlacement: The show is officially called "Tata Safari Storme presents: 24" and that is how it appears in the titles.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Sara (Carla Matheson)]], so far, even testifying before Veer and Raj.

* VillainsBlendInBetter: Karthik Chandrasekharan, [[spoiler:the impostor playing Abhay Gupta, Janhavi's father, who subsequently chokes his 'daughter' to death in a hospital ward, and kidnaps Trisha]]. Likewise, nobody in the military academy, or Veer himself, were aware that agent Raunak, who was sent by the ATU to take Veer along, [[spoiler:was killed by Shekhar, who was impersonating him all along]].

* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: Yakub blackmailed mercenary Meher into joining his troop as a full-time member [[spoiler:by having her sister killed by the sniper]], but she is not seen any longer after that scene, and nothing is known about her even after [[spoiler:Jai Singh kills Yakub]].

* AscendedExtra: The assassin posing as photographer Max Ferraro (the Indian counterpart of Jonathan Matijevic, posing as Martin Belkin) doesn't disappear after the first assassination attempt- he returns again, first to kill [[spoiler:journalist Mehek Ahuja]] and then subsequently, to assassinate Trisha and Kiran, kept at the ATU safehouse, and attempts it, leaving them with no hope of survival, [[spoiler:until Kiran shoots him dead from behind]]. Even journalist Mehek Ahuja, the Maureen Kingsley counterpart, gets an extended role in this series.

** RAW chief Gill, who gets blackmailed by a potentially lethal injection from Jai Singh, to reveal his source when Jai Singh merely administered a glucose injection. Eventually, once he's on the same side as Jai, he is a lot more competent.
** Pradhan's SFG troops, who were supposed to protect Aditya Singhania, a Prime Ministerial candidate, who went sneaking out in the middle of the night, had no clue about his disappearance. In another instance of the group not doing their job, they could not notice Jai Singh and fake Max Ferraro come in with weapons to assassinate Aditya. When they eventually capture Jai Singh, he simply opens a high-pressure fluid jet on one of them to escape.
** Mumbai Police also had one fat constable who harasses Trisha (Jai's wife, Kiran's mother) and Abhay[[note]]Not quite[[/note]] (father of Kiran's friend, Janhavi), who are looking for their missing daughters, for a hefty bribe. Averted with city Police Inspector Narvekar, when he sees Jai's badge and offers to help him track down[[note]]Unlike his counterpart in the original show, he is aware of the ATU and offers to have his entire unit help Jai[[/note]] and capture a terrorist accomplice hiding there. [[spoiler:He doesn't survive.]]

* UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}}: Averted. It may be filmed in Mumbai, but it does not have song and dance numbers- and is a faithful adaptation of the original show. Far from Bollywood, this is definitely the HeavyMetal of Indian TV shows. In fact, even the background music is the same score composed by Sean Callery in the original.

** Kiran Rathore in Season 2, in Episodes 2 and 3.

** Senator John Keeler has no counterpart in this show.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Nobody knows what happened to Rohit, who was hiding when the ATU picked up Jai Singh and his family, after he [[spoiler:killed Yakub and most of his men]], after having a major role to play in the events of Day One.

** Mehr, based on the original's Mandy, plays the part of Mandy in Season 1, and also fulfills Nina Myers role as the seller of the virus in Season 2.

** Come on, Gyan, you know how it's done here"
** Anything involving a dialogue between the PMO and ATU.

* CanonImmigrant: Jai Singh Rathod's son, Veer, who is a cadet in the National Defence Academy. Jack Bauer had only one daughter, Kim. Veer's part in the story is loosely based on a part of Kim's part in the story. While the Singhanias are loosely based on the Palmers, the characters Vikrant Maurya (Aditya's brother-in-law) and Megha Singhania (Aditya's aunt and cousin Prithvi's mother) original created for this show.

** Much of Mehr's dialogues are full of it, with a bonus AmericanAccent.

** Shivani Malik, the ATU chief in Season 2, seems to be loosely based on Erin Driscoll from Season 4 of the original (she has an autistic son), but performs the role played by Michelle Dessler in Season 3, so far.

* DemotedToExtra: Mathur, this show's version of Jovan Myovic. Most of his duty is done by the unnamed counterpart of Jonathan Matijevic.
