Operation Safed Sagar Scores A Global Netflix Milestone
From critics hailing it as a razor-sharp war drama to audiences calling it a must-watch, Operation Safed Sagar has struck a chord with its gripping storytelling, powerful performances, immersive aerial action, and its authentic portrayal of the Indian Air Force, earning praise from all quarters.

Singh, publicly lauded the series for being “very close to reality” and accurately capturing the atmosphere of the 1999 Kargil War. Produced by Matchbox Shots and Feel Good Films, Operation Safed Sagar is a tribute to the men and women whose service, determination, and unwavering sense of duty continue to inspire generations.

The Last Salute Plot

Fittingly, it also marks the last time the iconic aircraft was filmed in action before its retirement from service. As audiences witness the legendary aircraft take to the skies in the series, Netflix now turns the lens towards the machine itself with The Last Salute, a poignant documentary film from the makers of Operation Safed Sagar, which is a love letter to the MiGs, honoring the iconic aircraft as it bids adieu to the Indian Air Force and the nation.
