Netflix released the trailer of Sidharth Malhotra starrer ‘Mission Majnu’. Though the plotline presented in the trailer takes one through familiar territory with scores of films / series made on similar subject, it is Sidharth who might reap the fruits.
After debuting in a Karan Johar film ‘Student of The Year’ and tasting success, after a lull period, in yet another Karan Johar production ‘Shershah’, which was a film celebrating the bravery of a soldier Vikram Batra played by Sidharth. Shershah released on Prime Video and caught the attention of the audience as well as the critics with Sidharth Malhotra being praised for doing justice to an important to an important narrative based on true events.
Sidharth Malhotra seems to have put in lot of efforts in executing the action sequences and the result (at least in the trailer) seems noteworthy. Moreover, call it a coincidence, like Shershah, which released on an OTT platform, Mission Majnu too has the patriotic flavour and is also releasing on an OTT platform. Come to think of it, Sidharth may enjoy success like Akshay Kumar in stories with a patriotic premise.
Mission Majnu is a spy thriller directed by Shantanu Bagchi starring Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles, the film is positioned as the untold story of India’s greatest covert operation, taking place before and during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.

Now, the film is scheduled to be released on 20 January 2023 on Netflix.
