People have been raving about Sidharth Malhotra's new spy thriller on Netflix, "Mission Majnu". The film, which was published on Netflix on January 20, is about an Indian spy in Pakistan who passes on classified information for the benefit of his nation. However, upon its release, the film, which has received widespread acclaim, was also criticised for similarities to Alia Bhatt's Raazi.

Shantanu Bagchi's Mission Majnu is set in the 1970s. Sidharth Malhotra plays a RAW agent entrusted with completing India's deadliest clandestine operation in Pakistan. Rashmika Mandanna, who plays Nasreen in the film, co-stars with Sidharth. With the film gaining a lot of attention, several people compared it to Raazi before it came out, which was also an espionage thriller starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal.

During a recent interview with Film Companion, the actor addressed the resemblance, writing that after viewing the teaser, viewers may see a number of situations and sequences that are similar. However, he stated that the experience was radically different.
