Netflix's war drama Operation Safed Sagar, which depicts the Indian Air Force's role in the 1999 Kargil War, has garnered significant praise for its realistic portrayal of historical events.
The series features actors Siddharth and Jimmy Shergill and focuses on the Golden Arrows squadron's MiG-21 operations, while also dramatizing the diplomatic tensions between Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Pervez Musharraf.
The show recreates the 1999 R&AW interception of a call between Lt Gen Mohammad Aziz and Pervez Musharraf, which exposed Pakistan's involvement in the conflict despite claims of mujahideen participation.
