Mission Majnu

Practically Weak, Emotionally & Patriotically Powerful.

Shantanu Bagchi‘s romantic spy drama, Mission Majnu, stars Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles. The film is inspired by a heroic secret mission that took place after India’s 1971 war victory over Pakistan and the nuclear bomb test in 1974. One funny thing about the films inspired by true events and real people is that if nobody was left alive, then who the hell told all the details of these events? No, it’s not a Jack Sparrow quote from Pirates of the Caribbean, but I’m curious to know the source material. Amrit Sagar‘s 1971(2007) also left me with the same question. Should we really believe the stories as being all true, or should we just enjoy it as a film? I am sure the actors, producers, and directors will choose the latter option, so let’s accept that and review Mission Majnu. So yes, Mission Majnu has a good emotional and patriotic value without any of the larger-than-life action sequences we usually see in war movies, but let me warn you that the practical value is very low.

Mission Manju is about RAW‘s most daring operation, which took place right in the heart of Pakistan. RAW agent Amandeep Singh, aka Tariq Ali (Sidharth Malhotra), works as a tailor in Pakistan. He falls in love with a blind girl, Nasreen (Rashmika Mandanna), and marries her, which also helps him to create a cover. Soon after India’s successful nuclear test, the Pakistani government decides to create their own atom bomb. After arresting the Prime Minister of the Country, the police general takes over the change of government and carries out the nuclear mission without coming into India’s sight. Amandeep and his two companions try to find out details and stop Pakistan from their mission, but will it be that easy for the spies that are being hunted by the cops? Check out the heroic tale of Indian spies who sacrificed everything for the country in Mission Majnu.
