Mission Istaanbul: Darr Ke Aagey Jeet Hai! (2008)

Mission Istaanbul: Darr Ke Aagey Jeet Hai!: Directed by Apoorva Lakhia. With Vivek Oberoi, Zayed Khan, Shriya Saran, Shabbir Ahluwalia. A news reporter must uncover the secret on the 13th floor of a News Station.

“The story revolves around a talented Indian journalist who lands up in Turkey and a commando on the trail of terrorists. Set predominantly in Istanbul at rubbish locations and itu0026#39;s really hard to tell that it is set in another place other than India. The screenplay is bad and it is about 2 hours and it felt like a 3 hour movie but the last 15 minutes saved the whole film. The casting may not have the top actors in the lead roles but they all acted quite well and it has to be Zayed Khanu0026#39;s best role to date, if he works hard then he can do a good job. He acted well after the bad performance in the garbage movies Cash u0026amp; Speed. Vivek Oberoi has a very different look e.g. long hair and a darker tone which did suit his character. The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia who also made Ek Ajnabee u0026amp; Shootout at Lokhandwala, both of them were good but Mission Istanbul could have been better in so many ways. The soundtrack has different kind of songs for everyone. The best songs are Jo Gumshuda which is very romantic and Mission Mission which rocks. It is the first Bollywood film shot in Turkey but it could have been shot in different and better locations instead of the same place over and over again.”
