<span class=normal>Mission Istaanbul<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>After Shootout At Lokhandwala, director Apoorva Lakhia decided to make a film on international terrorism and its repercussions. Its quite a strange coincidence that the day his film Mission Istaanbul opened across cinema halls (July 25th) the city of Bangalore witnessed around 7 serial blasts. In fact the very next day, even Gujarat (Ahmedabad) was rocked by bomb blasts. With the country facing such a grave situation, the last thing people wanted to do was go out and catch a flick depicting terrorism. Hence, Mission Istaanbul which had stars like Vivek Oberoi, Zayed Khan, Suneil Shetty besides clones of George W Bush and Osama Bin Laden fell in to the category of films that just came and went almost unnoticed. </span>
