MUMBAI: JioHotstar is soon bringing back the OG of Indian espionage thrillers—Special Ops and this time, it’s bigger, bolder, and way more dangerous. After a 4-year wait, Himmat Singh returns—the man who doesn’t need to shout to be heard, the brain behind India’s most secret missions.
Get ready for action that’ll make your pulse race, mind games that’ll leave you guessing, and that quiet deshbhakti that gives you goosebumps. But before the new mission begins, let’s rewind to the iconic lines that made Special Ops a fan-favourite. These dialogues still live rent-free in every fan’s head:
Ask no questions, hear no lies
Season 1.5
Said by Inspector Abbas Sheikh during a critical exchange with his superiors, this line underscores his friend Himmat Singh’s operating philosophy that in the world of intelligence, the less you question, the longer you survive. This dialogue was dropped just as he was confronted about a covert operation he hadn’t entirely disclosed. It reflects the grey morality and high-stakes discretion that come with being an unsanctioned protector of the nation.
Himmat Singh…Himmat Singh kaise bana yeh bahut interesting story hai sir Abbas
Season 1.5
This was said by Abbas Sheikh (Vinay Pathak) to the government auditor investigating Himmat. Positioned early in the series, this line sets the tone for a deep dive into Himmat’s backstory. It reflects the loyalty Abbas holds toward his mentor while teasing the audience about the layered journey of Himmat’s evolution into the formidable figure he is today.
It hurts when the country suffers because of politics
Season 1
Delivered with quiet anguish by Himmat Singh during a confidential conversation with a senior intelligence officer, this dialogue captures the emotional and ethical toll that political interference has on intelligence operations. It came during a moment where the team’s operation was compromised due to bureaucratic delays, highlighting the internal battles that parallel the ones on the field.
“Bina Wardi Wali Army Chalegi?”
Season 1
A rhetorical question posed by Himmat Singh to Farooq Ali (Karan Tacker), doubting the legitimacy of their covert work and who is on the verge of giving up his life. It’s one of the show's most memorable lines, reframing the idea of patriotism and duty. It drives home the message that protecting the nation doesn’t always require medals, sometimes it requires anonymity, sacrifice, and silent resilience.
“Jab hisaab rakhna nahi aata ho to hisaab dena mushkil ho jata hai.”
Season 1.5
Another philosophical gem from Himmat, this was said to auditors digging into his unapproved expenses during black ops missions. It reflects the blurry lines between accountability and action in the intelligence world, a reminder that not everything can be measured or justified in traditional terms when you're saving the country from shadows.
Special Ops season 2 raises the bar even higher — it’s bigger, bolder, and grander in scale, vision, and ambition. Premiering soon on JioHotstar .
