It literally exposed the relationship(disconnect) between the government & military of Pakistan.
Needless to say, the Indian Armed Forces are a force to be reckoned with, always and always. #OperationSafedSagar #Netflix
Just finished watching Operation Safed Sagar on Netflix. It's a 6-part series, and I'd rate it 8/10. Definitely worth watching if you enjoy military action and patriotic dramas.

With Siddharth and Dia Mirza in the cast, I honestly expected just another leftist whitewashing of reality. But believe me, what a series!
It's incredibly gripping and remarkably close to reality. The series masterfully captures the complex…

A must watch. Brilliant storytelling, brilliant acting. First two episodes go a bit slow but it gets nailbiting interesting in third.
My only point of view difference with the makers…

One viewer called it “awesome,” while another said the series was “truly moving” for showing the challenges and decisions faced by the Air Force during the Kargil War. Several users also praised the entire team, with one fan asking Netflix to bring more such stories.
Operation Safed Sagar is intense. Fighter was a casual movie with a little bit of everything.

I wish this could come in 3d and 4dx. Based on true story of our Indian airforce golden arrows team during kargil war and so well made, it truly deserves all the attention. Best series for me in last 2-3 years.
Operation Safed Sagar is OUTSTANDING. It's one thing to depict the Indian Air Force (scale limitations, visual shortcomings) with such inspiration, but then to also have a steady hold over the subject matter, the little nuances of diplomacy during war time, small but effective… pic.twitter.com/Yo6ZFCTUYW
