Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 05/07/2019
Mission Istaanbul, which takes a contemporary, cautionary tale of terror, and its modern-day purveyors, and serves it up lathered with so much leftover masala that it's neither easily gobbled, nor thoughtfully chewed upon. Go to Full Review Namrata Joshi Outlook 01/30/2019

It makes a mockery of the tragic reality of global terrorism. Go to Full Review Nirpal Dhaliwal Guardian 03/19/2018
Mission Istaanbul is fantastically awful. It's a product of a Bollywood machine. Go to Full Review Nikhat Kazmi The Times of India 03/19/2018
2/5
The film has been shot well in the exotic locales of Istanbul, but there isn't much that Vivek's long hair and Zayed's serious be-spectacled look can do to save the film from ending up as a thriller that doesn't actually thrill. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Karan J @RT48433887 06/10/2024 Bad film from start to finish. Waste of Good location. Storyline was predictable. The lead actor's character was not too bright. See more Ahmed M @neverOddorEven 05/08/2016 Nothing is interesting or entertaining about this movie, the only thing that stood out were some of the songs, that's it. See more 01/30/2011 Surprisngly entertaining despite bad reviews. See more 12/20/2009 Day: Saturday. Date: 26 July 2008 Amt: 60/- Time: 9.30 pm Over at: 11.45 pm With: Rohan Seat No. E20, E21 Theatre: New Excelsior, Mumbai The direction was fantastic and I actually like Vivek for the first time. The plot was not bad too. The heroines could have been better. Zayed too gave a good performance. All in all a good timepass flick with some good action. Istaanbul is a beautiful place. See more 10/08/2009 Worst movie I've ever seen. The terrorists have chains and hockey to fight with instead of machine guns like AK-47..lol (Those who have seen the movie know what I'm talking about...remember - right after "the heroes" finished drinking Mountain Due) Many mistakes throughout the movie - hate that.. Loved the Bush comedy - very well written Everything else was not worth watching. See more 08/05/2009 just a strange compilation of action scenes... the "acting" was consistently bad. storyline interesting but predictable... maybe I have seen to many Hollywood & Bollywood movies...
