The series, featuring Kay Kay Menon as Himmat Singh, was directed by Neeraj Pandey and focuses on the character’s past.

If you like the first series, you’ll enjoy this one even more since it gives you a glimpse into how Himmat grew to be the man he is now.

Himmat: Special Ops 1.5 As in Season 1, Chad and Banerjee investigate Himmat, just as they did in the first episode of the season, just like they did in the first episode of Season 1. Instead of looking at how much money they’ve spent, they’re attempting to learn more about Himmat so that he can receive a reasonable pension after his retirement. At one point Abbas Sheikh (Vinay Pathak) is seen telling Chaddha and Banerjee Himmat’s narrative.

From ancient Delhi to Mauritius, Malaysia to Mumbai and Ukraine, the series takes you on a journey that spans the globe. A former R&AW agent-turned-traitor is being pursued by Vijay (Aftab Shivdasani) and his companion Himmat (Ajay Devgan) as they work to protect the nation’s vital secrets.

Special Ops 1.5 is a well-executed series with a tight screenplay and excellent performers. Co-directors Neeraj Pandey and Shivam Nair have worked on films including A Wednesday, Special 26, and Baby. Hemat may have been the focus of a full season, but it’s not clear how many episodes would have been sufficient.

It’s all about Himmat in this spy thriller, although the plot isn’t anything fresh save for a few people. Maninder, a member of the squad who betrays the agency and presents a serious danger to the country, is the film’s villain, while the finest officers, like Himmat and Vijay, are recruited to track him down. Dramatic music may have been used more sparingly by the filmmakers. Even if Vijay (Aftab) and Maninder were annoyed by his unfinished saga, the viewers were just as curious about what occurred when he met Aishwarya Sushmita (Aishwarya Rai) at a party. In any case, Himmat was only concerned because it afforded him a way out of Maninder’s grasp.

The Himmat of RAW, Kay Kay Menon’s Himmat, was the same as the Himmat of today. For the benefit of the nation, he is willing to reject instructions, even if it results in his dismissal. Hemat’s love story, as well as the difficulties of being a spy, are also revealed to the audience. The character, on the other hand, has scarcely changed since Season 1. One can’t remain the same throughout time. It’s almost surreal how constant the character graph is.

The show’s 40- to 50-minute episodes may potentially be binge-watched in a single day.
