[6] The series will air on ZEE5 on 11 November 2022.[7][8]In a scene from Zee5’s Mukhbir: The Story of a Spy, an intelligence officer is left baffled after his senior calls him naïve. “Don’t be overdramatic,” another one says, without a sense of stern finality. The 8-episode series set in the aftermath of the Sino-Indian war grasps the world of espionage at a tender moment in our history. Wounded from a symbolic loss, these are men in post-Independence India, second-guessing their hunches. All of which makes Mukhbir the kind of thriller that is neither rushed nor presumptive about its own meticulous details. It is in fact staggered, even ponderous at times, echoing possibly the stuttering approach to real-world examinations that India learned from, by failing.

Set in the aftermath of war, Mukhbir is largely the story of Harfan, a charismatic but also cocky spy who is sent across the border to infiltrate not just the Pakistani military leadership but also a humble native family. In terms of premise, this sounds almost like an encore of Meghna Gulzar’s terrific Raazi but in terms of the narrative, there is plenty that’s different. In Mukhbir we don’t just stand in the corridors but enter the rooms of the Pakistani generals, even dissenters.
