Mission Majnu – Sidharth Malhotra trolled for cringy stereotypes in 'spy thriller'

The trailer for Mission Majnu has been released and lead actor Sidharth Malhotra has become the butt of everyone’s jokes with his black eyeliner, stereotypical clothing and overload of adaabs.

Giving Pakistanis quite the giggles, the teaser is full of cultural appropriation, misrepresentation and one-sided history that has been getting all the attention for all the wrong reasons.

Mission Majnu aims to take you down memory lane to 1998 when Pakistan and India were in a head-on competition to build nuclear weapons. The trailer goes on to show Pakistan conducting unauthorised nuclear activities.

Even though people across the border are excited for its release this month, many have dubbed the thriller-action film a "flop comedy". Here are some memes that are bound to leave you rolling with laughter.

The only way this could be interesting and closer to the truth will be if there is a plot twist and Pakistan catches Siddharth on suspicion of being a spy because he uses adaab and janaab too frequently.

Such an important story to tell. Without the success of Mission Majnu, Pakistan would be a nuclear armed state today. https://t.co/mWsSE7ABdP

Mission Manu has GOT to be a comedy bcz not only did we make the nuclear asset, we also tested and launched it in the most endian fondly govt. NS has always had cordial rltn w India. So using ur "best" spy & failing despite that & making a movie out of it... that's just hilariaaa
