Mission Majnu

Anwar Says: Good start , gripping first hour , a new story on patriotic theme , clarity on narrative but it starts soaking down and every next scene is predictable. While watching, you have Shershah in mind , particularly finding Sidharth Malhotra on screen. Sidharth is a terrific actor but captain of the ship is the director and Shantanu Bagchi has been only able to save it from sinking.

Story time is mid '70 and Zia Ul Haque arrested Bhutto and came to power and wanted to become Nuclear Power secretly. RAW came in between and Pakistan is exposed in the world. Had all the materials to be a hit but this genre had top class Baby, Raazi etc. And anything less than that would not satisfy the audience. Sharib Hashmi and Kumud Mishra are the expected aids of the lead and when the main character could not put an impact, how can these supporting characters impress? Rashmika Mandanna as blind love interest of Hero has hardly anything to do.

The weakest area is action which is the most important thing in a spy thriller. Music is not hummable and VFX is weak. On the whole OK in parts but can be skipped. Producers have taken correct decision to release it straight on OTT. 2.5 out of 5 from me.

This is a story of India's most audacious and daring covert operation in the heart of Pakistan.

While the storyline is intriguing, the execution leaves something to be desired. The film fails to rise beyond the caricature of the age-old India-Pakistan hatred and war, and could have been more thrilling and gripping.

The pacing is slow, and the film struggles to maintain the audience's interest. The performances are underwhelming and fail to convey the intensity and urgency of the situation.

The direction is lacklustre, and the film fails to build the necessary tension and suspense to make it a truly thrilling experience.

The film has a good premise but could have been executed in a better way.

It fails to live up to its potential and could have been made more thrilling and gripping.

The film is a missed opportunity to explore a little-known piece of history and the audience may find themselves disappointed by the lack of depth and intensity in the film.

I don't know how long Indian audiences will keep giving 10 stars to such BS movies. No solid plots, spies are super lucky, all security personnels of the enemy are dumb, unnecessary and unrealistic fighting scene-- all the components of a cheap spy movie you will find in this movie. The movie could be a good one, yes.. it has that potential, but the scriptwriter or the director did not want to use their head.

To make matters worse, Siddharth failed to do a great job here, despite having some good opportunities to demonstrate his acting ability. Throughout the movie, for the spying part, he looked happy-go-lucky. He failed to portray the tension or suspense or thrill of spying in enemy army territory.

If you are into spy movie, watch Romeo-Akber-Walter and Phantom movies. Those two are gems compared to this Mission Majnu movie.

This movie is a mixture of Fanna, D-Day and little bit of Ek tha Tiger!!. I don't know why people are giving 10 stars!!

The train scene where Sidharth Malhotra was wearing turban, I have never seen such a wonderful overacting!!! So stupid!! It is so evident to see that he is doing bad acting but people are still giving high ratings.

This is a propaganda movie and nothing else. Pakistan, Indra Gandhi, Army, Britishers and few other topics, that's all Indian movies has to offer now!!

I wonder when they will end this kind of stuff. Nothing looks realistic and they want to compete with English Movies!!

This is a propaganda movie. What is important is that it is a poorly made propaganda movie. Likely based on real life events but it is glorified so much that it loses meaning. Espionage is a tough business consisting of much pain but this movie tries to sell it as super heroic. Mandhana didn't good job of portraying a blind girl. Siddharth who I think is a good actor didn't really sell his character where he is hated by most people who know him and he can't share who he is with one person he loves. Overly jingoistic and looks far removed from reality. Supporting actors did a good job in my opinion. I wanted to like this movie but just couldn't.
