‘Declassified: Operation Sindoor’ Draws Strong Response on Discovery The two-part documentary ‘Declassified: Operation Sindoor’, currently streaming on Discovery, has received a strong response from viewers since its release on August 15, 2026. The documentary is directed by filmmakers Prabhu Asgaonkar and Manika Berry Asgaonkar, who have previously worked on several films centred on the armed forces. The filmmakers said they were surprised by the level of interest in the latest project, particularly because it is a 90-minute documentary rather than a fictional film. Manika Berry Asgaonkar described the response as “startling”, noting that a significant number of viewers have chosen to watch the documentary despite its non-fiction format. The documentary focuses on Operation Sindoor, the 88-hour military operation conducted by India on May 7, 2025, following the killing of tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on April 22, 2025. The attack was carried out by militants and resulted in the deaths of tourists. Operation Sindoor targeted terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). Through the two-part documentary, the filmmakers look at the military operation and the events surrounding it, offering viewers an account of one of the significant military developments that followed the Pahalgam attack. With its focus on the operation and the events leading up to it, ‘Declassified: Operation Sindoor’ provides viewers with an inside look at the 88-hour mission and the circumstances surrounding the military response.
