mission istaanbul,the new movie of apoorva lakhia works to an extent but then breaks its chain of extravaganza.the concept is new,but the story in the second hour spoils it all.the screenplay loses shine in the second hour.the screenplay is kept very tight in the second hour.the dialouges are okay.not much to cheer about.the direction is not upto the mark of shootout at lokhandwala or eka ajnabee.there are many performances but the one who stand out are are all the male actors zayed khan has shown a lot of improvement.his facial expressions are just about excellent.vivek oberoi is another limelight of the show.his action sequences are just fantastic.excellent performance.shabbir ahluwalia is a good talent to watch out for.nikiten dheer is the man of the match.his acting skills are very much adapted bravo performance.shriya saran is alright.reena bhradawaj is okay.suniel shetty is asa usual. overall mission istaanbul rests on only action to save the show,but thats not enough.disappoint ment.

An action movie, which has some well-executed sequences, but the script disappoints and have several clichés. The story deals around a TV channel which has a name similar to Al-Jazeera, and uses multiple pictures of some characters which are too similar to Osama Bin Laden. Doesn’t it seem like a propaganda movie? Some of action scenes are copied from The Matrix, and some of the scenes have used awful CGI effects. The movie is just a time passing entertainment.

The story of the movie is catchy at the first half, it attracts you, it tries to make a good base, and try harder to make you attentive, but as soon as you enter the hall after the interval, it make you realize that why you are sitting here and ruining your precious time and money. Actually in the second half, it looses the grip on the script and story. On the whole, its below average movie. Starts well but ends as a crap.

The idea is there, the story line is there, the direction is pretty good too...then why does this movie fail to make an impact? any impact. Not a convincing story? Maybe with a stronger presentation - a better screenplay as well as more realistic characterization the film would be more engaging. Mixing reality with fiction is not an easy job, and being a Da Vinci... needs one to have a solid grip on the story - from the start and right till the end. The talented Mr. Oberoi, seems to be in dearth of good roles. Zayed is trying to find his foot, his positioning in the market but am not sure if he fits well along side Suniel shetty and Vivek oberoi. In this movie too, he seems like he's walking along boys bigger than him and fights yet bigger boys, not convincing enough. The movie starts off without building Zayed's character. We are expected to belive when the story suggests that Zayed is among the big boys. Other than Zayed's physique, his step-up personality is probably his strongest positioning points. Comedy? nah! I think it will be quite sometime before we can laugh at Zayed's jokes. And taking him as a wonderkid at just face value, not quite possible too. The story teller needs to convince people about taking this guy seriously. Seriously, I mean it :) Suniel Shetty was there for a little while, wonder what he was doing in that negligible screen space. Vivek Oberoi some how has that confidence and charm, that suggests bigger things for him - I wish him luck - his past movies - especially Company has left a great impression. Screenplay lacked in several respects. Consider Zayed calling his wife, while in middle of Live Telecast as well as Important Tele-interviews and things like a terrorist organization which is supposedly very dangerous having a malfunctioned elevator leading to their most secretive location. A couple of people broke in easily on the "13th floor". The thrill of 13th floor's secret was wrapped up in a couple of minutes. One could easily miss this movie. It falls in almost none of the genres...or maybe I'm forgetting some. It's not a fun watch...where you can get away with anything..as long as someone's laughing. Nor is it totally an action packed sequel, 'cause the action comes in pieces. Nor is it reality oriented. I'm not sure, who can I suggest to find time for this one :( Mission Istanbul? You may want to abort this mission.

ok so i went to go watch this movie on tuesday since it was 5 dolldar day, and because of the bad reviews and bad business, i had no expectations from the movie and expected it to be a bad movie. surprisingly, the movie was better than i expected. the first half was quite interesting, but not flawless! placement of songs and lack of editing did act as a hindrance, but that can be overlooked. the first half was very intriguing. the second half, though, had no script and relied on never-ending action. the second half definitely did not live upto the expectations gathered by the first half. overall, i kind of liked the movie since i expected it to be bad. so bottomline: watch the movie thinking it's going to be terrible and u may end up liking it

Great action movie with awe inspiring stunts. Viviek was gr8 as an army officer. Zayed has got a new air of confidence and this shows. Shabbir Alluwalia has proved himself to be an actor with great potential. Nkitin Dheer was efficient in his role. A MUST WATCH FOR EVERYONE WHO LOVES ACTION.

Mission Istaanbul is a hilarious action movie that passes the time. The first half of the movie is done really well and quite tactfully. It starts off as a political thriller where Zayed Khan is doing the dangerous job of interviewing terrorists and gets offered a job in Istanbul. His employers are mysterious and clearly hide many secrets which Zayed choose to ignore at first. After the death of a colleague, he meets the mysterious Vivek Oberoi who warns him that he is in danger. The second half is just pure action. The movie just seems like a parody of action movies and is good fun to watch as it is so cheesy. So many scenes show that two main characters cheesily striding forward with grins on their face in slow motion. Another scene just after they have been involved in a car chase, their female companion opens up her boot where she just so conveniently has exactly 3 (1 for each person) cans of mountain dew in a box full of ice and they all grab one and crack them open to celebrate. If I wanted to watch soft drink adverts, I can do that at home. Other things that made me cringe were the lines, who the hell wrote the dialogue. Indian people just cant pull off lines like "lets rock bro""rock out" and "go get 'em tiger" It just sounds so off and out of place. Overall a solid effort that goes off track a bit but ends up being an okay movie
