Khufiya on Netflix.
Tabu is a married RAW operative who battles her secret identity and also struggles with conflict due to loving another woman.
There's a mole in RAW that leads to a lot of leaks, and ISI getting the upper hand in Bangladesh. To correct this, Tabu tries her best. But her loved one gets murdered in the process. The mole (Ali Fazal) escapes outside India too.
The rest of the movie is about retribution and redemption.
Tabu - excellent as usual.
Ashish Vidyarthi and Atul Kulkarni as Tabu's boss and estranged husband respectively are solid as expected.
Ali Fazal is competent. Wamiqa Gabbi as the mole's wife is bold enough to do a couple of explicit scenes (just enough to make it rated 16+, else rest is ok). His mother is played well by Navnindra Behl.
Azmeri Haque Badhon is a Bangladeshi actress who did a good job as Tabu's recruit cum lover.
Raghu Ram of Indian Ocean fame was a pleasant surprise.
The disappointment is the usually competent Vishal Bharadwaj. His direction is good in parts, but not enough to grip you in entirety.
Worth a watch, but not as good as it could have been.
