I have not seen a better war narrative in a long time. #OperationSafedSagar wins in every aspect, story telling, balance between political and army aspects, acting and VFX better then some of recent movies like Fighter. Delivered patriotism without any overdo. Just amazed. @jimmysheirgill @_AdilHussain @DearthOfSid #Netflix

This documentary chronicles the MiG-21's final chapter in the Indian Air Force through the stories of generations of fighter pilots who flew it.

@nitinwelde @IAF_MCC oh my God, sir I am so overwhelmed to read this now! Thank you so much for being a part of our journey and for truly understanding our work and intentions! Sir Salute to you! 🫡

@nitinwelde Sir!! Thank you so much! Your support means a lot to us! 😊🙏🙏

- With all the creative freedom that was possibly required, this series is very well made.
- The life in Air Force Station and the professional / social interactions are indeed very nicely captured.
- As an informed Veteran , I do understand the difference between a documentary and a webseries and hence I am absolutely OK to let go a few aspects. Those few really don’t bring down the quality of web series neither does it cause any disengagement or discomfort to me.

Very nicely done is my summary.

Only at ep 3, and #OperationSafedSagar on @NetflixIndia is very enjoyable
Don’t know the internal workings of an Air Force op/base but I’m guessing the production crew came close to reality

Look fwd to feedback from those who’ve served in the @IAF_MCC at the time

Looking fwd to the rest of the series

All the best to my friends #VinayPathak #ManuRishiChadha @deespeak and #JimmyShergill

A deeply moving tribute to those who always chose to put nation before themselves. Salute to our IAF heroes. Congratulations to the entire team. Thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Jai Hind.

The whole series on one side, and this scene on the other 😭🔥

[Gaurav M Tripathi @GauravT71548031]

I agree with you sir. But the responsibility for telling history doesn't lie with a production company. It lies with @IAF_MCC and @SpokespersonMoD . I am a firm believer of declassifying files after 20... Okay 25 .. or even 30 yrs.

If we, the citizenry take a webseries as gospel, then that's on our inability to take disclaimers for what they are. And the vayu sena from so walling itself off, that whatever comes, is devoured.

[Gaurav M Tripathi @GauravT71548031]

Absolutely sir. This is a dramatized portrayal of the air operations using ONE squadron's example.

It is NOT a documentary to be used for historical record. It is a web series. For entertainment.

So all these "this wasn't covered, that wasn't mentioned " etc etc coupd be junked for one read of the disclaimer.

[Nitin Welde @nitinwelde]

Dear Veterans,
-The story writers wanted to tell a story.
- Tne producers wanted to produce this web series.
- The actors wanted to play different roles in this web series.
- @IAF_MCC Hq approved all of this.
- Now in all of this why are you trying to give your story and insisting that they must acknowledge that.
- Lekhak Joh kehna cha rahe hain , woh lekhak bol chuke. Critical review ke liye apko invitation milega.

Baki , enjoy the series and spread the word about Op Safed Sagar.

Jai Hind
