Web series review: Special OPS - Disney+ Hotstar

-
Image Courtsey: IMDb


It's an Indian thriller web series created by Neeraj Pandey, released in March 2020 on Disney+ Hotstar.

Series shows Himmat Singh (Kay Kay Menon), a Senior officer of RAW believed, a mastermind behind several major terrorist attacks in India in the last decade. He formed a task force of five secret agents, trained and handled them for more than ten years, to catch and eliminate this terrorist.

The story starts with an audit inquiry to find the details of expenditures made by Himmat Singh for several operations. However, the inquiry layer by layer unfolds details of many life-threatening missions Himmat Singh and his agents performed to catch the prime suspect.

 The whole series aptly shows the life and responsibilities of people working for Indian Intelligence. It is filled with action, drama, thrill, and great performances by the cast. Also, the background music and dialogues complement the story very well. 

Kay Kay Menon gives a top-notch performance not only as an officer but also a husband and a father. Likewise, Neeraj Pandey must have done tremendous research for this project that shows well in his direction. 

This is one of the best web series I have watched in a long while. Therefore, I highly recommend everyone to binge-watch this action thriller drama while enjoying being home during this lockdown. 

Checkout the Official Trailer 1 and Trailer 2.

Stay home and stay safe.

I hope you find this review helpful, will be back soon with the next one.

Thanks for reading!

Image Courtesy - IMDb Bandish Bandits is an Indian television web series of 10 episodes, created by Anand Tiwari that focuses on Indian classical music.  I was fascinated with the name of the show. Many of us may not know - “Bandish” is a musical term for composition in the Hindustani music. The story conveys the beauty and power of the ragas when they are blended with pop music. A series marks the digital debut of composing trio - Shankar Ehsaan Loy . A tale is set at the backdrop of Rajasthan. Two die-hard musicians Tamanna (Shreya Chaudhry) and Radhe (Ritwik Bhowmik) join together, to create music. Both of them belong to a different world altogether, in terms of music, culture, and financial status. Image Courtesy - IMDb Radhe is someone who has his family’s musical tradition to protect and carry forward, while Tamanna is an ambitious and carrier-oriented pop star. Later on, they both fall in love and form a team called Bandish Bandits . Along with the soulful Indian classical music

Having been living in Romania for five years, we could not miss a chance to explore some of the iconic and popular countries of Europe. I and Anshul, if not much, at least plan one long vacation in a year (apart from our trip to India). This year we had a few places on our bucket list, such as Istanbul, Greece, and Spain. But in all three of them, both of our interest matches with Spain. We always try to plan our trip in pleasant weather, no matter where we go. So, we thought Easter would be the best time to make this happen. Hurray!!! We finally packed our luggage and flew from Bucharest. It was an 8-day trip to Barcelona and Madrid . Before starting the journey, let me describe a few lines about these cities.  Madrid and Barcelona are two major cities in a vibrant country with a rich history, and they are both considered a foodie's paradise with diverse and delicious cuisine. Ahhh!!! You might be wondering why this city is one of the most visited destinations in Spain. Now le
