Soon after, RAW chief Kao (Rajat Kapoor) learns that Pakistan’s then-president Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, still reeling from the 1971 war defeat, is secretly working on developing a nuclear bomb. The mission is spearheaded by ISI’s sharp officer Murtaza Malik (Sunny Hinduja). Vishnu is tasked with sabotaging this plan, setting the stage for an intense game of espionage between two formidable minds.

Positive Points

• Engaging premise blending history, patriotism, and high-stakes spy action.
• Balanced character trajectories — Murtaza's character is constructed as strong and nuanced as Vishnu's, and the competition between them is compelling.
• Superlative performances: Pratik Gandhi is convincing as the stubborn RAW agent; Rajat Kapoor and Tillotama Shome make a lasting impression in every scene.
• Strong technicals — genuine production design, snappy editing, striking cinematography, and evocative background score.

Negative Points

• The climax weakens Murtaza’s character, portraying him as helpless at a critical point.
• Over-reliance on Vishnu’s explanatory commentary interrupts immersion. 

Overall: Saare Jahaan Se Achha is a tightly wound spy thriller that pays tribute to the unbranded valor of intelligence officers. Featuring excellent performances, grounded backdrop, and fast pace, it is a good watch to observe Independence Day on Netflix, though with a disappointing climax.
