    Why not interview "Shashi Bhushan Singh Tomar" himself and hear the whole first hand incident from the horse's mouth?
    P.S. Shashi Tomar (R&AW Kathmandu Chief) was on that flight and was returning back to Delhi.
    I'm not sure if the series has shown Tomar as one of the passengers in the TV Series.
    P.S.S. Tomar was the brother-in-law of Nikhil Kumar (NSG Chief) and also of N.K. Singh (Principal Secretary).
    And the conspiracy theorists say both didn't want to do any operation in Amritsar because there was a risk of casualty, that too of Shashi Tomar.

      If they were that incompetent, then today India wouldn't have been here today with pakistan and china as neighbours. Yes, there is complacency at the top level in the govt, do you know where it came from? The director tries to blame it on BJP government at that time, but anyone with little brain knows that a new born govt cannot change the whole system in a span of 5 years. The complacency has started with the great Nehru era. You might call me Bhakt later for complaining it on congress, but i know BJP didn't do anything to change the status quo of the bureaucracy, but it all started because the people in power form 1947 did not take any action against complacency and they let it happen. Chalta hai attitude started because the congress govt denied giving free hand to the army.

    Series based on past events should be evaluated primarily on factual grounds rather than through the lens of contemporary perspectives, which are often influenced by hyper-nationalism. This black-and-white approach hinders our understanding of complex realities.
    The series' portrayal of terrorists using code names like 'Doctor,' 'Bhola,' 'Burger,' and 'Shankar' aligns with documented facts, reportedly listed on a government website, possibly the Ministry of External Affairs.
    While I found the series to be decent, it didn't reach the quality of 'Patal Lok' or 'Family Man.' The hype surrounding it was excessive.
    Veer Sanghvi's article in The Print highlights several instances where the series failed to accurately depict the involvement of the ISI.
    Given these factors, it's essential to understand the filmmakers' research methods and how Anubhav chose to portray the real-life experiences of the hostages. While creative liberties are acceptable, it's crucial to avoid distorting facts. The disappointment expressed by Mr. Sharma, the chief steward, suggests that the series may have been rushed and lacked sufficient research

    veer sanghvi terms it as a failure of the government - failure has to be based on a criteria - if the government directive was that there should be no bloodshed, it was a success. Suppose, there was loss of lives upto 25-30 (unarmed people against armed terrorists - like Mumbai attack), the exercise of saving the rest would not have been appreciated. Since this was the first incidence, the strategies have evolved after that.
