Two subjects that can fire up Indians from all parts of the world are
'religion' and 'Kashmir'. These seem to be the topic chosen by Bollywood
for their recent releases. As the name suggests “Mission Kashmir” deals
with the terrorism in Kashmir.
'Fatwa' by the rebel leader against policemen, leads to the death of
a police officer’s son who was injured by a fall. In his zeal to wipeout
the responsible terrorist leader the police officer ends up killing an
entire family of civilians. The only escapee was the ten year old son
of the family, who saw the destruction of his entire world by a masked
man. The traumatised youth was ultimately adopted by the police officer.
The boy finds out by chance that the masked man was his adopted father
and runs away. The story of Mission Kashmir is based on the vengeance
of the boy.
Ten years later ,the rebel boy (Hrithik Roshan) reappears on scene, directed
by the rebel leader Hilal Koshistani (Jackie Shroff) sowing seeds of destruction
and murder all around. The script takes a turn, when the bomb planted
by Altaaf (Hrithik Roshan) meant for the police commissioner (Sanjay Dutt)
kills his wife instead. The distraught youth is consoled by his childhood
sweet heart Zufi (Preity Zinta) who was working as an anchor at the local
TV station.
