I had the great fortune of discovering this movie called "Mission Istaanbul" starring Zayed Khan and Vivek Oberai. It falls in the category of "Its so bad that its fun". I would put it in my hall of fame movies along with "Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani" (# 1 in my list), "Qahar", et al.Zayed Khan is Vikas Sagar, an IIT graduate with a computers degree and working for Aaj Tak as a journalist. He has absolutely no work experience in computers but is supposedly a computers expert (the expertise in which field? Not mentioned). He is infamous for his face-to-face interviews with the terrorists who put on a mask while recording a murder video but forget about it during the interviews. Vikas decides to move on to "Al Johara", a news channel in Istaanbul, for better opportunities of terrorist interviews. "Al Zohara" boss is a crooked looking, suspicion raising individual who is doing some confidential activities on the highly secured 13th floor of his office building. "Al Zohara" has a hall of martyrs room with portraits of all the journos who died mysteriously during the terrorist interviews. Sunil Shetty is the latest victim of Al Zohara. Vivek Oberoi plays "Rizwan Khan", a mysterious local, who keeps warning Vikas of the dangers at Al Zohara. He is supposedly a cool guy who can do loads of action with both hands and guns. Rizwan is capable of single handedly gaining access to the 13th floor but needs a computer expert to hack into some system. That is where Vikas comes into picture. The rest of the story is how these two guys unveil the mystery behind the 13th floor.
The movie is extremely entertaining due to its unintentional humor. Watch it to believe.
Highly Recommended for the same reasons as "Plan 9 from Outer Space".
