Special OPS is undoubtedly one of the most awaited and popular shows on the Indian OTT platform. It talks about an officer Himmat Singh who protects the country and has a deadly squad under him. The first season was released during the early days of lockdown. It was the same time when OTT platforms were on the boom. That immensely helped the show to attract the audience and it was a bonus on the already positive response from the public.

The plot of Special Ops
R&AW officer Himmat Singh is under inquiry. There are two officers namely DK Banerjee and Naresh Chhadha who are running the inquiry for spending 28 Crore rupees from the government fund that has no expenditure record. When asked about it, Himmat Singh tells them about some agents who are working in the Gulf countries for several years. They are after a terrorist who is wanted for the past 19 years for the infamous parliament attacks.
Himmat Singh was the man who was handed over the responsibility of neutralising 5 terrorists who attacked the parliament. He is given Abbas Sheikh from Delhi Police as an aid. After tracing some dry fruits, Himmat Singh comes to know about the 6th terrorist who was operating the mission that needed the other 5 on the ground. Himmat almost reaches the hideout of the head terrorist but failed to catch him.
With this, the first day of inquiry ends. After reaching home to his wife Saroj and daughter Pari, he receives a call from Farukh Ali who tells him about the head terrorist. According to Farukh, his name was Ikhlaq Khan. Mind you that Farukh Ali is Himmat’s agent who operates from Dubai.
On the second day of the inquiry, we learn about the 26/11 incident in which Kasab tells Himmat about Waseem Karachiwala. Eventually, the Indian intelligence catches Waseem. This tedious task was given to Farukh Ali as his first one. After Farukh interrogates Waseem, he learns that Ikhlaq was also there in Mumbai during the 26/11 attacks.
After getting over Waseem’s matter, Farukh moves to Dubai. He befriends Wassem’s driver. The driver tells Farukh about Ismail Hassan who was the frequent host of Waseem. Ismail worked for a big businessman called Hafiz Ali. After spending millions in a bar, Farukh finally meets Hafiz Ali.
During the demonetisation period, Farukh arranges for 1 crore rs to be distributed among the terrorists in Kashmir through Ismail in the new currency. But, police recovers 80 Lakhs of them after a raid.
Meanwhile, the Indian intelligence implants bomb blasts in Pakistan. The direct blame comes over Jamaat and Hafiz Ali has to come out to help them. For that help, Hafiz Ali needs to sign an oil deal to which Farukh aids as help with the new currencies. Hearing this news, Himmat gathers all his agents at the place where the oil deal is supposed to do because Ikhlaq Khan was also coming to join the deal. But, the attack could not be completed and we learn something new.
Farukh along with Ismail and Hafiz were going to attend a wedding function where the rest of the agents will kidnap Hafiz. But Hafiz kills Bala who was supposed to kidnap Hafiz. Following this incident, Hafiz becomes alert as he is smart enough to guess that some insider is trying to harm him. Farukh manages to know about these thoughts running in Hafiz’s head.
Meanwhile, some important people from Pakistan were about to come to India for an event. For that, Himmat meets Surya Kumar who is the security in charge of the event. In the middle-east however, Farukh manages to turn Ismail against Hafiz. Ismail tells Farukh about Hafiz’s wife who would be acting as a suicide bomber in the event that would feature Pakistani guests. Not only that, Farukh also comes to know about the fact that Hafiz is actually Ikhlaq Khan.
Both Himmat and Farukh know about it simultaneously but from different sources. But, Hafiz also comes to know about the guise of Farukh. That follows the assembly of Himmat’s agents to kill Ikhlaq.
But now, both Surya Kumar and Himmat Singh have to find the suicide bomber in the event. Surya Kumar kills the Pakistani man who helped the bomber let in and the plan of the bombing goes kaput.
So, this was all about the first season but let’s see how Himmat Singh became Himmat Singh in the second season that is being marketed as Special OPS 1.5.
