‘Special Ops’ Keeps Us Hooked Despite Its Uneven Pace

<div>Neeraj Pandey has a natural flair when it comes to making films revolving around India’s internal security or tackling threats from neighbouring countries. Having directed films like <em>A Wednesday</em>, <em>Baby</em>, <em>Naam Shabana</em> (he wrote the screenplay), it’s a turf that feels like home to him. <br> <br> Having enlisted Shivam Nair as the director, Pandey’s latest offering is an eight-episode strong slow-burning espionage thriller <em>Special Ops,</em> that has released on Hotstar. With cinema halls shut across the country and all major film releases postponed owing to the coronavirus outbreak, it’s a good time to stay at home and watch what’s available on OTT platforms. <br> <br> So how worthwhile is it to spend time with <em>Special Ops</em>? That’s exactly what this review will proceed to explain. Tune in!<br> <br> <strong>VO:</strong> RJ Stutee <br> <strong>Music:</strong> Big Bang Fuzz</div>
