Inspired by the true story of an Indian spy Sehmat Khan, the film Raazi is adapted from Harinder Sikka’s novel titled as Calling Sehmat. This Alia Bhatt starrer became one of the best films during its release. The plot of the film tells the story of a RAW agent who risks her life as an informant for India in Pakistan. The film is about a young woman from Kashmir who marries a Pakistani military official and she has to find information on a threat looming large on India with great care and smartness.

16 December

Directed by Mani Shankar, 16 December was critically acclaimed but failed to enthuse the audience. Starring Milind Soman, Aditi Gowitrikar, Dipannita Sharma, Gulshan Grover, Sushant Singh and Danny Denzongpa in lead roles, the film revolves around a plot to destroy Delhi with a nuclear bomb and how Indian officers foil the plan. The film also showcased some of the best tech devices and techniques used by spies. In the film, Gulshan plays the role of the terrorist who plans to avenge Pakistan’s defeat in the 1971 war. Reportedly, many critics compared the film with Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible.
