From Dhurandhar, Raazi To URI:  5 Spy Stories That Keep the Rush Going

If you enjoy stories filled with tension, secrecy and constant risk, the world of spy thrillers has a lot to offer. Indian cinema has explored espionage in many ways, some stories focus on missions, some on people, and some on the systems behind it all. Here are a few that stand out for how they tell these stories.

Baby

With Akshay Kumar leading the team, this one keeps things direct. It follows a unit working quietly behind the scenes to stop threats before they happen. No distractions, just mission after mission, showing how these operations actually unfold.

Raazi

This is where espionage becomes personal. Alia Bhatt plays a young woman sent across the border, but the story stays with her choices, her fear and what she gives up along the way. It’s less about action and more about what being a spy really means.

Mission Majnu

Set against a sensitive backdrop, this film looks at an undercover agent trying to complete a mission while living a double life. It brings together intelligence work and the cost of staying hidden for too long.

Special Ops

This series takes its time. Instead of one mission, it builds a larger picture over the years. You see how leads connect, how networks work and how one mistake can change everything. It’s detailed and stays with you.

URI: The Surgical Strike

With Vicky Kaushal in the lead, this one focuses on planning and execution. It shows how determinations turn into action, and how every step matters when the stakes are this high.

What makes these stories work is simple, they all show different sides of the same world. Some focus on the mission, some on the person behind it. But all of them keep that tension alive. And if Dhurandhar is your vibe, these are worth your time.
