The "Vijay" team is a privately-funded, parallel security agency which exists with the knowledge and consent of the Indian Government. Under the leadership of Colonel Ranjit Singh, this elite group of six officers, investigate and prosecute those accused of crime. The arch villain in the show is Dinaro, an ex army man and former colleague of the Colonel. While the Colonel treads the righteous path, Dinaro is motivated by greed and money and has chosen to follow the path that glorifies anarchy and anti-nationalism. As Dinaro terrorizes the nation's peace through his nexus, the 'Vijay' team strives to overcome these threats and invariably thwart his plans. The team works together with a single mission: to safeguard the nation!

Announcing the launch of Vijay, Shailja Kejriwal, EVP, Content, NDTV Imagine said, "With Vijay, NDTV Imagine presents an offering in the action-adventure genre with a patriotic spirit, which is sure to appeal to our audiences. Vijay… Desh Ki Aankhen will also drive home the core values of pride and respect for one's motherland! We are very pleased to team up with the Sagar's once again for this new initiative!

Added Producer of the show, Amrit Sagar, "Vijay's premise is… 'Don't ask what the country has done for you?', instead ask… 'What you can do for the country?' It is the only show of its kind on Indian television at the moment. The production will showcase international locales, hi-tech spy gadgets, weapons, fighter jets, submarines, et all. Sagar Arts and NDTV Imagine have produced some very successful shows together, and I am thrilled to team up with them once again!"
