Mumbai, April 29, 2025.
In the wake of the tragic Pahalgam terrorist attack, the newly released film Olive Green +ve could not have arrived at a more critical moment. Offering a bold solution to the Kashmir crisis, the film suggests that deeper participation of Kashmiris in the Indian Army could foster stronger integration with the nation, empower communities to resist radicalization, and help prevent such devastating attacks in the future.
Since its release on 10 April 2025, Olive Green +ve has captured the imagination of viewers across India, holding its position in the “Top 10 on Waves OTT”, the streaming platform of Prasar Bharti. It’s not just another military drama—it’s a rallying cry for hope, unity, and change, especially aimed at inspiring India’s youth to believe in the power of choice, service, and nation-building.
Directed by Prashant Bhagia, the mind behind the acclaimed series Jamnapaar, Olive Green +ve opens with an unforgettable scene: a retired Colonel walking into a barber shop run by the son of a slain terrorist. What follows is a tense encounter that navigates through emotions of revenge, regret, anger, forgiveness, and ultimately, redemption.
At its core, the film is brought alive by powerful performances from Col Rajeev Bharwan and Maj Rudrashish Majumder, who channel their real-life military experience into characters that feel raw, relatable, and real. They are supported by Darius Chinoy, Col (Dr) Andy Anil, and Commandant Kulpreet Yadav, each of whom not only act but have also passionately produced the film under the banners of 30 ML Films and Weekend Pictures.
Narrated by the much-loved actor Anup Soni, Olive Green +ve stands out for its authenticity—shot on location at a real defence aspirants’ academy and featuring real ex-defence officers in pivotal roles. This rare realism brings an edge to the storytelling that young viewers crave today: gritty, honest, and unflinchingly inspirational.
The powerful story, co-written by celebrated authors C.P. Surendran and Kulpreet Yadav, and with screenplay and dialogues crafted by Yadav himself, blends emotional storytelling with a clear, urgent message—your choices can change your life, and together, they can change the nation.
For the youth of India, Olive Green +ve is more than just a film. It is a call to action. It challenges them to rise above hate, to serve with pride, and to become warriors of peace and unity. At a time when the nation demands fresh ideas and fearless spirit, this film reminds us that patriotism isn’t just about fighting wars—it’s about building a future where every Indian, no matter where they are from, feels they belong.
