3.5/5
A rousing, moving tribute to our armed forces, Operation Safed Sagar is drama minus melodrama, toplining patriotism not jingoism. Go to Full Review Radhika Sharma NDTV Sep 15, 2026
4/5
Led by an able ensemble cast, including Taaruk Raina, Arnav Bhasin, Dia Mirza, and Adil Hussain, Operation Safed Sagar is a show Netflix should be proud of despite a few VFX loopholes and stray dialogues that don't fit the narrative. Go to Full Review Archika Khurana The Times of India Sep 10, 2026
4/5
What ultimately distinguishes Operation Safed Sagar is its refusal to glorify war for spectacle alone. The series celebrates courage without excessive chest-thumping and portrays patriotism with dignity rather than propaganda. Go to Full Review Shreyanka Mazumdar CNN-News 18 Sep 8, 2026

Alireza G @RT06981003 Sep 13, 2026 Over rated Pilot theme fast and furious Biased politically See more Sharang L @Scribe187 Aug 23, 2026 Even with the clunky, melodramatic writing common with Indian shows, this one manages to rise above the rest mainly on the back of some excellent FX and its real-life, stirring source material. See more Vipul K @RT47731992 Aug 22, 2026 Loved it. This was so good, i binged watched it. Really good actors picked for the senior roles, the new actors also did justice to their roles. And the vfx for the planes..i dont know how the movie fighter with a massive budget couldnt achieve what a tv series achieved... This told a story which most people probably have never heard, about what our airforce was doing when our soldiers were dying in kargil..now we know, they did what they could and i am proud of them for that. See more Greg H @Osevon Aug 12, 2026 Thoroughly enjoyed it the mix of real historical clips and the story presented in a balanced way without over dramatising or sensationalising works to tell a true story excellently.
