JioHotstar’s latest release Salakaar brings an edge-of-the-seat espionage drama that moves between two timelines, weaving together past and present in a story of courage, sacrifice, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. Directed by Faruq Kabir, the series has been one of the most anticipated spy thrillers of the year, offering a gripping blend of political intrigue, emotional depth, and nerve-wracking tension.

The plot follows Aadhir Dayal, a fearless RAW operative, who in 1978 embarks on a covert mission to expose Pakistan’s secret nuclear program at Kahuta. His partner in this dangerous operation is Shristi, played by Mouni Roy, a spy working undercover as a tuition teacher in Pakistan. Armed with spy camera glasses and nerves of steel, she collects intelligence that could change the course of history. But as the operation reaches its high point, unseen threats begin to emerge.

Fast forward to 2025, and the shadows of that mission resurface. Past enemies return, and a new conspiracy threatens India’s security. This time, the mission intertwines a young spy’s journey with the wisdom and resilience of a veteran spymaster. Together, they must outwit their adversaries, protect the nation, and confront the generational weight of secrets and sacrifices.

The series features a powerhouse cast with Naveen Kasturia delivering an intense performance as Aadhir Dayal, and Mouni Roy bringing a perfect balance of charm and grit to Shristi. Supporting performances from Surya Roy, Mukesh Rishi, Asrar Khan, Janhavi Hardas, and Mir Sarwar add depth and authenticity to the unfolding drama. The writing by Srinivas Abrol, Faruq Kabir, and Spandan Mishra ensures every twist feels earned, while the direction maintains a constant undercurrent of suspense.

Beyond its thrilling plot, Salakaar serves as a tribute to unsung heroes in the world of intelligence – men and women who risk everything for the safety of their country, often without recognition. The recreation of the late 70s political atmosphere, combined with the high-tech espionage stakes of the present day, makes for a compelling visual and emotional experience.

For fans of intense spy dramas and stories rooted in real-world events, Salakaar delivers a must-watch journey filled with suspense, patriotism, and heart-stopping moments. It is now streaming exclusively on JioHotstar, ready to keep you hooked from the first episode to the last.
