The series is created by Gaurav Shukla and directed by Sumit Purohit, and follows Vishnu (played by Pratik Gandhi). Vishnu is shown to be an unassuming desk man who transforms into a razor-sharp undercover operative tasked with derailing a nuclear programme across the border. The six-part drama is not based on a single true account, yet it draws inspiration from real incidents, lending its fictional thrills a certain historic gravitas.

Unlike the often caricatured villains of mainstream spy fare, the series treats its antagonists with dignity and intellect. Sunny Hinduja’s portrayal of the ISI chief is both formidable and layered, a man as capable of strategic ruthlessness as he is of shedding tears for those dear to him. This nuanced adversary raises the stakes considerably, making Vishnu’s cat-and-mouse mission all the more compelling.

Visually, the series seems to be a triumph. The period-accurate production design and refined cinematography immerse viewers into an India balancing on a knife-edge. Its pacing, for the most part, is crisp with each episode pulling the viewer further into a world where the slightest delay in intelligence transfer could shift the nation’s fate.

However, the finale feels a touch hurried, meaning that a seventh episode could have helped the narrative breathe easier. Certain subplots seemed to have abrupt tonal shifts, the emotional equation between Vishnu and his wife (Tillotama Shome) comes to mind.
