Jio Hotstar’s acclaimed thriller ‘Special Ops’ is all set to return with Season 2 on July 11, and fans are once again in for a ride full of action, suspense, and a unique cinematic twist. Created by Neeraj Pandey, the series follows Himmat Singh, a sharp and relentless RAW agent, portrayed brilliantly by Kay Kay Menon, as he continues his years-long international mission.
A Cinematic Tribute in Every Episode
What makes Special Ops stand out — beyond its gripping storytelling — is its clever episode naming. Every single episode is named after a legendary Bollywood film, not just as a nostalgic nod but as a creative reflection of the episode’s core theme.
Here are some of the episode titles:
- Kagaz Ke Phool
- Guide
- Shatranj Ke Khiladi
- Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahin
- Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga
- Qurbani
- Sholay
- Shaurya
- Mission Kashmir
These titles aren’t just for style — they influence the tone and storyline. For example, the episode titled “Sholay” delivers high-octane action, while “Guide” explores emotional and human dimensions.
A Thriller With a Heart for Cinema
This nostalgic format creates a strong emotional connection with Indian audiences, celebrating the golden legacy of Bollywood. Neeraj Pandey smartly weaves in cinematic flavor, making ‘Special Ops’ not just a gripping thriller, but also a love letter to Indian cinema.
Get ready to dive back into the action when Season 2 premieres on July 11, only on Jio Hotstar.
