Mission Istaanbul is an action thriller based on the subject of international terrorism movie directed by Apoorva Lakhia.The film tells the story of a journalist who gets his hands on top-secret information on dreaded terrorists.Set predominantly in Istanbul at great locations.It is a really fast paced action thriller that keeps you entertained and interested until the very end.The action is amazing for a Bollywood movie like blown up helicopters which was made by the same action director of The Departed.
At the center of the story is Vikas Sagar ( Zayed Khan ), a top class Indian journalist who takes up a job at Al Johara news channel in Istanbul much against the wishes of his journalist wife ( Shriya Saran ) back home.Al Johara is a news channel that honours its slain journalists by putting their framed photos in its ‘hall of martyrs’.It is a channel that keeps its secret well hidden on the 13th floor, the entry to which is strictly prohibited.

Vikas goes on his first assignment with colleague Owais Husain ( Sunil Shetty ) to Afghanistan where Owais gets killed while fighting the terrorists.Upon his return, Vikas meets a stranger who tells him that Owais’ death was no coincidence and was preplanned by the channel itself. The stranger happens to be Rizwan Khan ( Vivek Oberoi ) a long-haired Turkish commando fighting his own personal war against the terrorists.

As Vikas digs deep into the secrets of Al Johara, he discovers a terror network working in the guise of a news channel.But it is a discovery that makes Vikas himself a target of the terrorists.From thereon follows mindless action – heroes jumping off from buildings, dangling by flying choppers, chopping off the hands of the baddies and blowing up buildings.Apoorva Lakhia’s style of filmmaking is to take stylish shots and put them in quick succession to each other and add the remaining impact by loud background music. He really needs to work as an assistant under some truly qualified director to get the basics right.
