How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average.

A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.

What we know
By the early ‘80s, India had already witnessed multiple airplane hijacks. In 1984, the country was made to face another such challenge. BellBottom, a RAW Agent, sees through the plan and thus begins India's first overseas covert operation. An operation, lead by a forgotten hero, that went on to create one of the most defining moments for India.
