January hasn’t even ended yet and Netflix India is already back to regularly scheduled programming. Mission Majnu—the streamer’s Republic Day offering—is real bottom of the barrel stuff.
We discuss the Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer “spy” film’s inept plotting, grating performances, and its questionable politics.
We also wonder what qualifications one needs in Bollywood to be handed a major movie, and why the industry can’t seem to look beyond the same bunch of writers as it churns out stinker after stinker across genres.
