Special Ops Season 2 Twitter review: Fans binge-watch Kay Kay Menon's web series, Goosebumps from the very first episode
Special Ops Season 2 stars Kay Kay Menon, Prakash Raj, Tahir Raj Bhasin and Vinay Pathak in leading roles. Bhasin plays the main villain in the web series.
Let's see what social media users are saying about it on Twitter (now X).
'Special Ops season 2 is the first sequel that hasn't disappointed,' wrote one user.
Another wrote, 'Special Ops 2 is here, never knew this would become so Special…'
'Goosebumps from the very first episode — what a masterpiece! Watching on my 100-inch screen at 3 am felt like I was inside the world itself. Special Ops: Season 2 is mind-blowing. And when I heard them mention my hometown, Raxaul border — I was completely shocked!' came from another.
'Just Completed the Special Ops S2,every time I think of the show it puts me in a deep thought about the precision & meticulous execution of Ops.Mad respect to our Unknown heroes those who lay down their lives to protect our nation from any potential threat & upholding sovereignty,' posted another user.
'First episode down & it looks like special ops 2 wants to tell us to save India's scientists & researchers,' another wrote.
As expected, viewers are highly impressed with Kay Kay Menon as Himmat Singh.
'Watching Kay Kay Menon as Himmat Singh is just a therapy session for me,' posted one fan.
Another fan wrote, 'Just watching Special Ops 2 and I have to say - Kay Kay Menon is in a league of his own. The intensity, the depth, the effortless screen presence — Himmat Singh is iconic because of you.'
However, not everyone was impressed. One user thinks it has not lived up to expectations.
'Special Ops 2 is not even close to Special Ops 1.5. They wanted to make something like 'Tehran' but ended up making a 3rd copy of it,' the user wrote.
Mostly, Special Ops Season 2 has received positive reviews from critics as well.
The OTT release 'isn't perfect, but it's still a gripping, relevant, and often thrilling ride', Shweta Keshri wrote on India Today.
Koimoi calls it a 'no-nonsense sequel that doesn't fail' while Bollywood Hungama praises Kay Kay Menon for delivering 'what could easily be considered the finest performance of his illustrious career'.
'It entertains, often grips, and at times surprises, but rarely astonishes. The show's biggest weapon is its cast, especially Menon and Bhasin, but its weakest link remains a tendency to oversimplify complex stakes with convenient resolutions,' Archika Khurana wrote on The Times of India.
Rishil Jogani wrote on Pinkvilla, 'Despite minor clichés and a slightly sluggish middle portion, the show's scale, action, and performances make it a gripping ride. With a phenomenal finale, Special Ops 2 warrants a definite watch.'

Exclusive: Pawan Kalyan says neither ‘Hindutva hero' nor ‘power star' defines him
Actor-politician Pawan Kalyan said that he is equally at ease both in his political role and as an actor, and that neither persona — be it the 'Hindutva hero' nor 'power star' — fully defines him. In an exclusive interview with India Today, Kalyan spoke about his upcoming film 'Harihara Veera Mallu', his political ideology, his cultural roots, and the way he sees his identity reflected in both cinema and don't consider myself either as a Hindutva hero or as a power star,' he said. 'Whatever comes my way, I try to give my best. I'm comfortable as a leader, I'm comfortable as a Deputy Chief Minister... Whatever the situation demands out of me, I give my 100%.'Kalyan's latest Telugu film 'Harihara Veera Mallu' features him as a warrior tasked with retrieving the Kohinoor diamond from Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. While Aurangzeb is the antagonist, Kalyan maintains that the film is a work of fiction inspired by historical elements. 'It is a fictitious story... about a character called Harihara Veeramallu, who goes all the way to Delhi to bring back Kohinoor. It is a rivalry between Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah and Aurangzeb,' he explained. When asked if his portrayal of Mughal rulers as villains aligned with a political narrative or popular box office formula, Kalyan said any resemblance was coincidental. 'This plot was conceived by the scriptwriter-director Krish Jagarlamudi around 2018. We didn't even have a BJP alliance then,' he said. He added that it was not about recent developments or ideology, but a story that had been in the works for years, centred on the historical Kohinoor diamond which was found in Kollur Mine in the Golconda region, which is now in Andhra Pradesh. Still, Kalyan asserted the need for a more balanced view of history. 'Definitely we should look at the Mughals more objectively,' he said, recalling how school textbooks focused heavily on the 'pious' side of Aurangzeb but omitted his repressive policies, including the jizya tax imposed on non-Muslims. 'They could have presented both good and bad... not just one side.'Asked about his Janasena Party's future in Tamil Nadu, where he has made several recent visits, Kalyan said he is not in a hurry to expand for political gain. 'To develop a party takes a long time and deep commitment,' he said. 'For me, my party should advance interests for cultural and national integration, not just to grab power.'Kalyan also reflected on his ideological journey — from admiring leftist figures like Che Guevara and Fidel Castro to supporting Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said he was shaped by a socialist family background where devotion and social justice coexisted. 'My father was a member of the Communist Party, but he was also a devotee of Lord Rama,' he said. 'Social justice and devotion go hand in hand.'When asked who his real hero was — Narendra Modi or Che Guevara — Kalyan responded: 'I like both. I respect them.' He added, 'This country needs a very strong leader that quality I found in Narendra Modi.'advertisementFinally, reflecting on the challenge of juggling cinema and public service, Kalyan admitted it is difficult. 'I struggle to shift from political seriousness to acting. I often ask myself whether I should continue acting,' he said, adding that financial considerations drive his decision to keep making films. 'If I had enough income, I wouldn't do films. Politics is my real passion and national service.'For Kalyan, the boundaries between actor and leader blur not out of design, but from his effort to remain authentic. Whether as a fighter on-screen or a policymaker off-screen, he says he simply does what he feels 'needs to be done'.- EndsMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Andhra Pradesh
