Raazi on Prime Video
Written and directed by Meghna Gulzar, Raazi stars Alia Bhatt, as a number geek who never forgets any sequence of numbers but is mortified by the sight of blood. While her sharp brain is her biggest asset, her fear of blood is something she has to overcome down the line as her father prepares her as an undercover RAW agent who will marry a Pakistani military officer. The movie stands out for displaying the dichotomy between personal emotional turmoil and political affiliations of a spy to its country.
Naam Shabana on Netflix
Taapsee is in the titular role of Shabana, who never imagined to pull gun triggers, and snap the life out of a living on her mission to avenge the death of her lover with the support of a secret intelligence agency. Helmed by Neeraj Pandey the movie makes an easy watch for times when one misses the action of a spy thriller without putting much thought into gripping the intertwined plot.
Ek Tha Tiger Movie Series
On the face of it, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ movie series may look like a Salman Khan action thriller. Katrina Kaif, as Zoya, the ISI uncover spy brings a shocker value to the plot. Better at her job, and skilled with arms and ammunition with the calibre of a thrilling manual duel, ‘Tiger’ movie series is very much a women-led spy thriller too.
Mrs. Undercover on Zee5
Radhika Apte don the hat of the undercover detective who has been living as an undercover house wife for ten years. But as the duty calls, she now has to answer her responsibilities with the added complexity of being a housewife. The movie is not a gore and blood spy film, but a spy comedy with wits and jibes to keep one entertained.
If you are unable to watch Ulajh in theatres right now, these women-led spy films will surely make up for a great watch or rewatch from the comfort of your couch.
