Special
Ops
returned
for
a
new
season
starring
Kay
Kay
Menon
as
Himmat
Singh
on
November
12.
Director
Shivam
Nair
the
prequel
gives
a
glimpse
into
the
personal
life
of
the
RAW
agent.
The
new
season
called
Special
Ops
1.5:
The
Himmat
Story,
has
been
defined
as
a
retelling
of
the
nation's
greatest
threat
who
soon
becomes
the
nation's
greatest
spy
as
he
fights
corruption
and
politics
that
infests
the
system.
Within
hours
of
the
season's
release,
Special
Ops
1.5,
unfortunately,
made
it
to
online
piracy
sites.
Over
the
past
couple
of
months,
many
OTT
shows
have
faced
the
same
fate
as
they
are
leaked
even
quicker
than
movie
releases.
Films
and
shows
like
Sex
Education,
Shang-Chi,
Money
Heist
5,
Loki,
Cruella,
Mulan,
The
Conjuring
3
also
become
victims
of
piracy.
The
new
episodes
take
the
audience
back
to
the
early
2000s
when
Himmat
Singh
faced
one
of
India's
biggest
espionage
threats.
The
show
also
gives
a
glimpse
into
the
RAW
agent's
personal
life
and
his
struggle
as
an
officer
of
the
law.
Praising
the
show,
Filmibeat's
review
said
Kay
Kay
Menon
is
the
driving
force
of
Special
Ops
1.5,
but
the
makers
are
getting
better
with
each
story.
Himmat
Singh
has
a
lot
more
to
offer
before
his
retirement
in
a
year.
The
review
by
Sanyukta
Thakare
added,
"Directed
by
Neeraj
Pandey
&
Shivam
Nair,
Special
Ops
1.5:
The
Himmat
Story
is
the
Raw
agent's
personal
journey
while
on
the
job.
Known
to
have
dedicated
his
life
to
the
country,
Himmat
had
to
make
several
scarifies,
some
personal
some
professional
but
he
never
back
down
from
doing
what
was
right
for
the
nation.
One
such
story
is
described
by
his
comrade
and
fellow
officer
of
the
law
Abbas
Sheikh."
