"Mission Majnu" is a riveting spy thriller that captures the essence of India's covert operations during the 1970s. The movie follows the story of a group of RAW agents who are assigned to gather intel on the Pakistani army's activities near the India-Pakistan border. The mission was to gather intel on nuclear installations in Pakistan is led by Siddharth Malhotra as Amandeep Singh, who plays the role of a charming and witty spy guises in name of 'Tariq'.
The film has been plotted around the love story between Tariq and a blind local girl named Nasreen, played by the Rashmika Mandanna. The chemistry between the two actors are palpable, and their romantic scenes are a refreshing break from the high-stakes espionage action. A typical hindi film to attract audience. The film's director, Shantanu Bagchi, does an excellent job of balancing the two storylines, making sure that neither overshadows the other.
One of the movie's significant strength is its attempt on 'attention to detail'. From the retro costumes to the vintage cars and locations, the film transports you back to the 1970s era. The film's production values are top-notch, and the cinematography is excellent, capturing the lush greenery and rugged terrain of the border areas.
Another standout aspect of "Mission Majnu" is its strong supporting cast. Be it Kumud Mishra as the maulana, Avijit Dutt as Morarji Desai, or Rajit Singh playing Bhutto, Mir Sarwar - a Kashmir born actor, as A Q Khan and Ashwath Bhatt as General Zia-ul-haq - everyone delivers a convincing performance. All sequences are well-executed, and the film's background score adds to the tension.
However, the film's runtime feels a bit stretched in parts, and some of the subplots could have been trimmed. Nonetheless, "Mission Majnu" is a commendable attempt at creating a spy-thriller that caters to a wide audience. It is an enjoyable and engaging film that keeps you hooked till the end.
In conclusion, "Mission Majnu" is a watchable film for anyone who loves a good spy-thriller. It has everything that makes a movie entertaining - action, romance, suspense, and drama. A low cost better than usual expensive Bollywood casted film. So, grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy this gripping tale of love and espionage.

"Mission Majnu" - A Gripping Tale of Love and Espionage
It is not a 1 star or 10 star movie
While through the user reviews I find lots of Osman and Farhan giving it just 1 star and it makes you wonder whose side are they. The director has obviously taken liberties in the name of entertainment. But the fact behind the movie can't be ignored completely. The spy war is an ongoing thing between the two neighboring countries.

Acting is good by the lead actors. Story is well written.
Engaging Spy Thriller
Mission Majnu is an espionage romantic thriller released in Netflix. The story revolves around the true events happened durint the 70s, where Pakistan was making a nuclear bomb secretly and the effort of Indian Spies to expose the secrecy.
This is a story of Amandeep Singh who is Tariq, a tailor in disguise falls in love with a local blind girl Nasreen and is assigned with a mission to find the Pakistan's secret nuclear facility thus to stop the process of making the bomb.
Even though the story is predictable, but the performances of the lead actors, the narration, taut screenplay and execution made this as a wonderful engaging movie. I really loved the performance of Siddharth Malhotra. He was totally gelled with that character. Kumud Mishra & Shabir Hashmi did a wonderful job where Rashmika Mandanna justified as her blind love interest/wife of the protagonist. Some scenes will water your eyes, thats for sure. Songs were nicely placed and was pretty good. But the background score was nice but could have been better. Cinematography was pretty good but not the best. There were some scenes where it loses the steam but all in whole the debutante Shantanu Bagchi didn't let me down, even he has to work in some parts, delivered an engaging espionage thriller.
