Attempt this ultimate quiz on Indian spy thrillers

Indian spy thrillers have become increasingly popular in recent years. These thrilling narratives are characterised by their fast-paced plots, set in exotic locations, and enriched by complex characters. They often feature the signature over-the-top action sequences coupled with real-world issues such as terrorism, espionage, and geopolitical rivalries.

One notable example is Ek Tha Tiger (2012), a blockbuster film that tells the story of a RAW agent who falls in love with a Pakistani ISI agent during a mission. A critically acclaimed entry would be Raazi (2018), which follows the story of a young Indian woman who marries a Pakistani officer as part of her espionage duties for the Indian government.

Baby (2015) takes a different approach by portraying a team of RAW agents on a top-secret mission. And in its prequel Naam Shabana (2017), the focus is on the origins of a skilled field agent, Shabana Khan. Meanwhile, Special 26 (2013) stands out as a heist film, detailing the exploits of a group of conmen posing as CBI officers to execute elaborate robberies on wealthy businessmen.
