Mission Instanbul
A top Indian journalist takes up a lucrative posting in an Instanbul TV channel, famous for showing terrorist activites. All the previous journalist have died under mysterious circumstances when they tried to leave the channel.
Suddenly an ex-Turkish Army commando warns the Indian journalist that he may be the next target. And from then on it's action.
Scenes have been copied from numerous Hollywood movies - one roof top chase is straight out of the The Bourne Ultimatum.
The Scorpio has been used extensively in the movie (LHD) as has Mountain Dew - making an unwanted appearance at the wrong time.
Zayed Khan plays the Indian journalist and is hamming and overacting through out . How he has still survived this industry is a mystery.
Vivek Oberoi plays the ex-commando. His is a crowd pleasing role and he goes at it with so much gusto that he looks like a model walking the ramp instead of an commando. Everything is so easy for him.
The 2 girls - blink and you will miss them.
2 villians - Nikitin from Jodha Akbar and Shabbir from the Balaji camp - overact .
Music is so-so with the "World hold On" being mutilated beyond repair.
Verdict - 1.5/5. Miss it.
ps - the 1 star is for showing George Bush in an hilarious avtaar.
