Is Mission Majnu Based On A True Story?

The story of Mission Majnu is not based on a true story. The plot of the film is inspired by true events that took place during and before the Indo-Pakistan War in the year 1971. The Bangladesh Liberation War in East Pakistan was the trigger on both sides that led to this war. The military confrontation between both countries during that time led to Indo-Pakistani War in 1971. The war went on for 1 week and 6 days that had started on December 3, 1971, and ended on December 16, 1971.

India declared the war on Pakistan as Pakistan struck 11 Indian hair stations. India entered into the war for East Pakistan’s independence which did nothing but worsen the existing conflict between both countries. On December 16, 1971, clearly India won the war, and former East Pakistan was formed into a new nation of Bangladesh. India captured more than 15000 km2 of the land on the western front but decided to give it back to Pakistan as a token of goodwill in the year 1972.

The movie is a tribute to all the RAW agents who goes out of their way for our country. They keep their lives at constant risk for their country. The tagline of the movie is- “Ek jaanbaaz agent ki Kahani”. This tagline means, an untold story of a brave agent. The story of the RAW agent might also be inspired by some real agent. Such sort of any confirmations is not made by the makers of the film.

Mission Majnu Cast

Mission Majnu Cast

The cast of Mission Majnu is another reason that has managed in creating the necessary hype. People are quite excited to see Sidharth Malhotra as Majnu.

Is It Worth Watching?

Well, as we have mentioned above that the story is about a RAW agent. So if you have not watched the movie yet let me give you a quick review of this movie. The makers have tried to make it like Shershah, but unfortunately, they couldn’t. If you will not watch the movie then it’s OK, it’s literally OK, to be honest, the movie doesn’t deserve that much time.

Sidharth in the role of an agent is good, but as usual, Rashmika in the role of Sidhart’s wife in the movie is only used as an ordinary girl just to give it a romantic angle. She has nothing to do in this movie. But the overall movie could get a better response if its screenplay went well.
