About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a patriotic, true-event mission story with suspense and emotional highs; Not for you if you dislike nationalism-heavy themes or want deep historical detail like Mission Majnu or Article 370.
Pros: patriotic, pride-filled story; fast-paced mission tension; based on true events | Cons: uneven writing and direction; some unnecessary melodrama; not gripping for all
