Mission Istan-bullshit

Apoorva Lakhia’s Mission Istanbul has run into some trouble with the censor board over a line that Zayed Khan delivers in the movie. Zayed plays an officer in the anti-terrorist squad who breaks into the terrorist headquarters and uses the lopped off hand of a dead terrorist to pass through the fingerprint check.

Take a minute to picture this shocking waste of tape. And now add the line..“Khul ja, Congress ko vote doonga”. This is the line which has been removed for obvious reasons. But forget that, lets just get back to this phenomenal scene….Since when did celebrity journalists learn how to decimate terrorists, chop their hands off and break into the their headquarters, which for some inexplicable reason are complete with fingerprint detectors but without the really hi-tech stuff like video surveillance and alarm systems? No no, that’ s asking for waaay too much. Who’s the prized moron who writes the script for these three-hour journeys into the depths of adult stupidity?

I’m sure he’s the type who thinks Die Hard and Commando were the best films ever, sits by his window with a pellet-less airgun and pretends to shoot every person below 20 who passes by outside and rents Sleepless in Seattle every time he wants to show a girl his sensitive side. Whoever he is, I don’t think he has too long to live if he continues writing like this.
