9/10
Compared to Shootout at Lokhandwala This movie lacks Romance and Comedy

Warning: Spoilers
In contrast to the Lokhandwala Shootout Romance and humor are absent from this film. However, this film is still enjoyable and packed with action. I still like this movie 15 years later. It would be considerably more enjoyable if MR Lakhia actors like Rohit Roy and Tushar Kapoor were brought back. As a Vivek OBEROI fan i did not apreciate him in this movie with such long hair. The end was very boaring though.. 1 great thing also was that unlike any other movies music does not appear every 5-10 minutes. The movie moves along at a good clip and is thrilling with lots of action. It also examines some difficult issues including the clash between idealism and practicality and the media's role in terrorism.

The performances of Mission Istanbul are among its strongest features. As the idealistic yet imperfect Vikas Sagar, Zayed Khan does a fantastic job. As the strong yet kind soldier Armaan Khan, Vivek Oberoi is also excellent. Shriya Saran, Suniel Shetty, and Anil Kapoor give standout performances in the supporting cast, which is also outstanding.

The action scenes in the movie are also intense and well-choreographed. They are not, however, extravagant or implausible, as is frequently the case in Bollywood movies. Instead, the action is employed to further the narrative.
