Guardianes de una gran nación

I gave Saare Jahan Se Accha: The Silent Guardians a solid 7/10. Casting is strong-Pratik Gandhi, Sunny Hinduja, and the rest deliver powerful performances that elevate the show. The premise, loosely inspired by real Cold War-era intrigue, hooks you right away and stays engaging. But I felt the ending was rushed and underwhelming, not quite living up to all the build-up. Still, way more satisfying than most OTT spy thrillers out there.

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.

Set in the volatile 1970s, Saare Jahan Se Accha follows India's covert mission to prevent Pakistan from becoming a nuclear power. With tight storytelling and masterful direction by Sumit Purohit, the series blends suspense, patriotism, and emotional depth into a compelling watch.

Pratik Gandhi leads as R&AW agent Vishnu Shankar, delivering a restrained yet powerful performance. Sunny Hinduja, Rajat Kapoor, Kritika Kamra, Tillotama Shome, and Anup Soni bring gravitas to their roles, while newcomers Suhail Nayyar and Kunal Thakur shine with standout portrayals that elevate the narrative.

What sets this series apart is its refusal to indulge in jingoism. Instead, it explores the ethical complexities of espionage and the human cost of nuclear ambition. The multilingual dialogues and authentic period detailing add richness to the experience.

Every actor and co-actor gets their moment, and the ensemble works in perfect harmony. The series doesn't seek comparison-it offers a unique emotional journey. With suspense in every frame and a message of peace at its core, Saare Jahan Se Accha is a must-watch for fans of intelligent thrillers.

Should watch atleast once, all the cast members acting amazing, direction could have been the best but overall satisfied.

All the episodes : 7 star

I felt little bit / somewhat OVER-DRAMA, but acting hide all

This is my first review so, i have to learn alot how to differentiate in rating etc.....

SEASON 2 coming soon...

As with any Netflix series, there's obvious hits and misses, good casting-bad casting, great performance-bad performance, over done action scenes but hey that's the masala we watch!

I think one thing that strikes me is that finally we have something that doesn't portray all Indians as super-smart angels, and Pakistanis as dumb evil people. Due credit is given to both sides, patriotism shown for both sides and some really great lines. It's hard to have balanced takes in geopolitical period dramas, but this is a good attempt!
