Mission Mangal: Flying to success
Mission Mangal: A Fan's Opinion For a long time, Bollywood celebrities were reluctant to do multi-star films because they felt it undermined their role and star appeal. However, recently, there has been a dramatic upsurge in the number of multi-starrer films that are being produced. The problem usually is that the director at the helm is overwhelmed with the talent at his disposal and very often fails to do justice to the audience. The most recent addition to this category was Kalank , that fell flat at the box office despite having an unparalleled line up of stars. That is why, when I walked in for Mission Mangal, I was a little wary. Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu and Sonakshi Sinha are some of modern-day Bollywood’s biggest stars and Nithya Menon, Kirti Kulhari and Sharman Joshi are relatively big names in the supporting cast circle. However, after my experiences with recent multi starrers, I was reluctant to expect too much. Thankfull...
