Mission Majnu movie review

This movie is about the events leading up to a dark time for RAW, the Indian intelligence agency which had established a strong and credible network of agents and spies in Pakistan, which was able to gain sufficient evidence about Pakistan's attempts to make a nuclear weapon in the late 1970s, only for it to come crashing down as the then prime minister Morarji Desai informed Zia ul Haq about how the nation's spies had credible information about Pakistan's nuclear programme. This lead to a complete crack down of Indian agents and spies in Pakistan, an event that took the Indian agencies decades to get over. Siddharth Malhotra plays the role of one of the spies in Pakistan who is tasked with finding out the location of Pakistan's nuclear programme. He has a backstory where he is the son of an ex Indian officer who killed himself as he had committed treason. This angle is never explored nor explained in the movie, and the only significance it has is when the protagonist who marries Rashmika Mandanna's character, a blind Pakistani girl, and gets her pregnant, he forgoes his opportunity to escape and instead tries to save his unborn child and wife by getting them to leave the country as he would not want them to be associated with someone who apparently committed treason against Pakistan. While he succeeds in getting them to flee the country, he gets caught and killed by the ISI and Pakistan armed forces. In between the marriage to Rashmika's character and getting killed, Siddharth Malhotra's character goes about finding the source of the nuclear facility. It is a dull story with no highlights in it, and all the characters do the job they are paid for. There is nothing memorable nor noteworthy in the story, and nobody would miss anything if they give this movie a skip.
