Operation Safed Sagar



I saw this web series on Netflix. Essentially, it is about Kargil war of 1999, how it was fought on the Indian side, the challenges faced by the Indian army and Indian Air Force.

It was nail biting and I could not stop till the last episode. It was very well picturised and directed and the challenges to win back the occupied peaks were very well explained. The sacrifices made by the soldiers bring tears to the eyes.

The performances of lead actors Siddhartha and Jimmy Shergil were outstanding, well supported by Abhay Verma, Amrita Bagchi, Dia Mirza, Mihir Ahuja and Prajakta Koli. This web series needs to be watched.

He suggests that she visit his mother in Delhi for a few days. She finds it absurd initially but later on agrees. Sukrit's mother, Satbir Bedi, is a divorcee. But she is also a high ranking government officer enjoying all ...
