‘Mission Majnu’ (2023): A Netflix Thriller

Mission Majnu is a thriller movie directed by Shantanu Bagchi starring Sidharth Malhotra, Rashmika Mandanna and Parmeet Sethi. It is written by Parveez Sheikh, Aseem Arora and Sumit Batheja. You can watch it on Netflix from January 20.

Mission Majnu is a Bollywood film for those first time viewers with its songs, sentimental characters and colorful, rhythmic vision in an action thriller.

This movie is in its original Hindi, so you need to take that into account.

Spies, intrigue, thriller and melodrama in this production with a political backdrop.

About the Movie

Mission Majnu
Mission Majnu

We warn you: this movie promises more action in the tráiler than which it delivers later in the movie. However, it is entertaining… it uses a plot and treatment that is more or less lightweight at the beginning and transforms it into a more “serious” movie of political intrigue that gradually morphs into drama and even melodrama.

Mission Majnu will be a let down for those who are expecting a purer, more action film and will be able to entertain others because of its social-political story (those interested in social issues). It is well made, the characters are well defined within the apparent simplicity of the intents of the characters and (their goodness, so characteristic in Indian movies).

The action scenes are good, but they barely last a few minutes in a film full of dialogues and intrigue.

Film-wise, this film offers very little if we are demanding. If we are not, then it is good entertainment in which to spend two hours of our existence.

Our Opinion

This is not one of the best movies we have ever seen, nor did it catch our eye and it doesn´t stand out as a spy film or political thriller.

Storyline

Set in the 1970s, an undercover Indian spy takes on a deadly mission to expose a covert nuclear weapons program in the heart of Pakistan.
