Real time

Real time is a storytelling style whereby the time period covered by the events of the story is exactly the same as is shown in the media. All of the episodes of 24 use this style to depict the course of a day in the life of Jai Singh Rathod's life.

The original American series used the real-time format, which was carried over the Indian show. However, some of the editing of Indian show breaks the real-time format with time jumps used, for example when Mehr and Max Ferraro are kissing in the plane toilet.

"Events occur in real time" title card
At the start of each episode, a title card reading "Events occur in real time" appears after the opening sequence. This was featured in a few episodes of the original American series, but every episode of the Indian version.
