Operation Safed Sagar Review: How's the Josh? Sky Sir!

Directed by Asur creator Oni Sen and backed by Netflix, Operation Safed Sagar tackles the untold story of the Indian Air Force during the Kargil War. Featuring a stellar ensemble including Siddharth, Jimmy Shergill, Adil Hussain, and Dia Mirza, a key question remains: does the series deliver the rigorous historical accuracy such a crucial story demands?

Jimmy Shergill roars like a Sher, Siddharth brings quiet earnestness, and Manu Rishi delivers chilling menace—but it’s Abhay Verma who steals the show, anchoring the narrative with deeply moving emotional weight. Under Oni Sen’s sharp direction, which seamlessly blends archival television footage, the stellar cast turns in exemplary performances. "Brilliant" barely does it justice. The series’ only notable flaw is its visual effects: while not unwatchable, the mediocre CGI falls short of what an aerial war drama demands.

Soaring high on emotional depth and tribute, Operation Safed Sagar is an absolute must-watch that honors our silent guardians while posing a poignant question: "What about those left behind?" The Bollywood Elephant rates it 4 elephants. Stream it now on Netflix!
