Many new gen kids are probably not aware of the illegal nuclear trial that Pakistan was about to conduct after 1971 and how india managed to expose them through their spies.
Mission majnu is like a Raazi only. Only the mission of Tariq aka Amandeep is different, that is , to find the Pakistani illegal nuclear facility and report to india .
The story of the film is interesting and something that everyone should know about. It's not something shown in extreme detail but whatever is shown is enough to give you an idea of what exactly was the situation then.
Screenplay is also very fast paced, so much so that the husband wife scenes don't really act as a bone in the meat. Nowhere does the pace slacken.
However, the film is highly flawed . While some flaws can be ignored, some absolutely can't. The portrayal of Pakistani generals and leaders have not changed one bit . It's literally the same every film. You have a pm of Pakistan saying "We will destroy india with nuclear bomb" while feasting upon a birthday pastry. Isn't that unintentionally funny?? Similarly many such scenes are there which I felt were unintentionally funny from a weirdly funny train station sequence to a Zia ul haq looking and acting unintentionally funny.
One good thing about this film is patriotism is not force fed. Throughout the film there is just one , just one mini monologue from Sid about patriotism and that's it. Nowhere else do we hear about patriotism and unnecessary "Bharat mata ki jai" everywhere although there is one but the intention with which it is said is different.
Action sequences are there and they are decent. Performance wise Siddharth is pretty decent in this role. Kumud Mishra also does good job. Sharib felt wasted so did Rashmika. Actors who played pakistani leaders were decent but their characters itself were flawed and cliched.
Overall, a decent one time watch. Could have been even better had the flaws not been present or if Bollywood tried to portray pakistani leaders as something more realistic than the typical villian type characters. A good watch for those expecting something interesting and informative.
