Mission Majnu (2023)
9/10
Keeps you on the edge.

Warning: Spoilers
The background is of 70s and 80s when India conducted its nuclear tests and Pakistan wanted to catch up. Now, while India did it 'legally' (many criticize the government for doing it too late), Pakistani establishment had to resort to dubious tactics and kept its program under wraps.

In this, an Indian spy establishes himself in Pakistan and sets out to expose the Pakistan nuclear program.

The spy's moves and what could happen to him keeps you on the edge throughout.

Siddharth in his brilliant performance like in Sher Shah, lives the character. There is a relationship with a blind Pakistani girl adds a human touch. That is also brilliantly portrayed by Rashmika.

The twists and turns keep you engaged. The ending is somber but heartwarming if you think from the Indian side.

What the movie doesn't tell you is that Gen Zia got away with this 'expose' and a lot more including hanging Zulfikar Bhutto because his help was needed to counter Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
