Guardianes de una gran nación

This series is set in the 1960s and 1970s, a time when the intense rivalry between neighboring countries India and Pakistan reached its peak (though there are differing viewpoints on this). The story follows spies from both sides of the border who eagerly march towards martyrdom to protect their nations. It delves into the life of an intelligence station chief tasked with extracting crucial information from his adversaries before a pivotal event unfolds. The writing is exceptional, skillfully weaving the narrative into the real events of that era. This authenticity creates a palpable sense of realism, making it difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction. My sole critique is the underutilization of Tillottama Shome's character, who portrays the wife of an intelligence officer. The producers could have further explored her character, adding depth and complexity. Each episode is approximately 40 minutes long, and if you binge-watch, you can complete the series in a single sitting. Overall, I highly recommend this captivating series.

Saare Jahan Se Achha is a good one-time patriotic show with intriguing plots, a paced screenplay, convincing acting, but an obvious climax with typical Bollywood-style combats and unsatisfactory protagonist role defining.

This show, released on the onset of the 79th Indian Independence Day, is fully justified in setting a new benchmark in the spy universe of Indian cinema that has laid a base for further productions inspired by this engrossing genre.

The retro-aspect background and suspenseful music with the inclusion of all possible players of a particular event in a show is surely a big applause thing.

Also, an honest attempt at debunking the personal and psychological life aspects of spy officers disguised in enemy states serving the interests of their nation is quite satisfactorily displayed.

And special mentions to Sunny Hinduja, Suhail Nayyar, Anup Soni, and Rajat Kapoor.

The short episode length and overall show only add to the motivation to binge-watch it, which is a good thing, as the screentime is very justifiedly short.

The negative takes from the same old Bollywood-style 'as expected' climax with the total kill of the very established character of Sunny Hinduja as a brave, courageous, and intelligent Pakistani spy officer have surely convinced me to think of Pakistanis as patriotic and knowledgeable about their nation, not arrogant, stupid, and unserious fellows. As well as the character of Mr. Nayyar meeting the same old school fate of martyrdom and the safe harbour or return of the main protagonist (Prateek Gandhi) to his normal life and set for the next mission, it is totally idiotic to watch for the 100th time in my entire cinematic life. The sincere and pragmatic out-of-box climax has become rarer and unavailable.

"Saare Jahan Se Accha: The Silent Guardians" is a well-crafted espionage thriller that dives deep into the silent sacrifices of India's Research & Analysis Wing. The series manages to hold your attention with its strong storytelling and impactful performances.

The true hero of the show is Sukhbir played by Suhail Nayyar, whose sacrifice stays with you long after the final episode. His character embodies the courage and resilience of those working behind the scenes, and his journey forms the emotional core of the series.

Sunny Hinduja delivers a standout performance - intense, grounded, and powerful. His portrayal is undoubtedly the highlight of the show and, in many ways, overshadows the lead.

Pratik Gandhi, though a talented actor, feels miscast in the emotionally restrained role of a desk-bound junior operative. His character often appears disconnected, and in several scenes, he seems helpless or lacks the depth expected from someone in such a critical role.

Despite that, the series as a whole doesn't disappoint. Like most well-made RAW-centric thrillers, it keeps the stakes high and pays due respect to real-life intelligence work.

Kudos to Gaurav Shukla and team for delivering a compelling first season. Here's hoping for a more intense and emotionally layered Season 2.

I started watching it as a just another spy thriller like Mission Majnu but it turns out to be an extra-ordinary show. The plot of the show is very well researched and equally well shot.

The show has well acclaimed actors like Rajat Gupta, Tilotama, Anup Soni & lead as Pratik Gandhi himself. The Show will make you believe that you are in Pakistan! Right from the dialog and the way Urdu-Punjabi dialect are spoken in Pakistan, is very well done the actors and looks good to watch them.

If you are looking to have a good weekend. Do watch this one :)

It's a difficult subject as the era that is been showed needs lot of research and facts and needs to be told wirh conviction.. Beautifully written script, the screenplays are very nice, excellent production design and cinematic frames.. All the actors have done a great job and loved the direction and execution.

Since its a spy story, based on true events the way it has been shown by keeping realism and no heroism it makes it believable and realistic.

Respect for the makers for choosing great contents and bringing it for the masses. Congratulations to the entire team for making a great show.
