Plot



In a village near Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh called Vadamalapeta, there are three boys named Ragupathi, Raghava, and Rajaram. They are all "idiots". Ragupathi leaves school very early every day, Raghava dropped out in 5th grade, and Rajaram never went to school. They are all best friends. Ragupathi wants to become a film director, Rajaram wants to be a bowler in cricket, and Raghava wants to be on the show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". They all want to be famous. Ragupathi hears about India's most wanted criminal, Dawood Ibrahim, on the news. He did one of the Bombay Blasts, and the reward for catching him is 50 lakh rupees. He tells his friends, and they start planning their "Mishan Impossible". They search for the prices of things in Tirupati and assume the prices will be similar in Bombay. Then, they leave and go to the bus station. They get on the bus to Bombay, but see their Hindi teacher and run away. They go to the bus station on the outskirts of town. The bus for Mumbai comes, but they do not know the name. A lorry comes that is headed to Bombay, but they accidentally get on the one to Bengaluru. Quite a bit later, they are on the streets, and Rajaram goes to get food. While crossing the street, he gets kidnapped. Ragupathi and Raghava are scared, and Raghava talks about how Ragupathi got them into the mess. Shailaja, an investigator for child trafficking cases, sees them, and has them identify the kidnappers as the gang of the infamous Ram Shetty. Shailaja was already on a mission to find Ram Shetty, but she gained hope when they got a new lead. They purposefully got kidnapped by Ram Shetty's gang so that Shailaja and her partner Suresh could follow them. They go to Mangalore, and enter a forest with many routes. Raghava breaks his Rubik's cube in order to use them like breadcrumbs so Shailaja can find them. Once they are at the building, they find Rajaram. They are given a camera and audio recorder, and place them in the building. There are 5 possible places the trafficking operation can happen at. Raghava irritates one of the gang members by asking questions. He gets angry when he mentions Uchila Beach, so he assumes the operation is taking place at Uchila Beach, when it is actually happening at Someswara beach. At the last minute, Ram Shetty changed the beach location to Uchila Beach. Ragupathi cuts out the letters of Uchila Beach in a newspaper, and stick it to a window so when the light comes in, the words shine on the wall. Shailaja sees this, and busts Ram Shetty.

Reception



A reviewer from 'The Hans India' gave the film a rating of 3/5 and wrote "Though director took an interesting plot screenplay can be much better. Few illogical scenes and climax disappoints audience". Neeshita Nyayapati of 'The Times of India' gave the film a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote "Mishan Impossible sounds great on paper and has all the makings of a crime comedy thatll leave you in splits but also move you. But in reality, Swaroop only manages to do that in bits and pieces". Latha Srinivasan of 'Firstpost' gave the film a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote "One must commend Taapsee for taking a chance on this film and giving it her all albeit in a small role. Unfortunately, Mishan Impossible fails to launch". A reviewer from 'Pinkvilla' gave the film a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote "Mishan Impossible' makes for a time pass watch. Adorable performances (by the three kids Harsh Roshan, Bhannu Prakshan, and Jayateertha Molugu)".

Murali Krishna CH of 'The New Indian Express' gave the film a rating of 2/5 and wrote "The film could have been a thrilling ride on the wild side of humour with such talents at their best only if the writing and the execution also scaled such heights". Siby Jeyya of 'India Herald' stated "The movie 'Mishan Impossible' is a meaningless irritant to the audience". Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of 'The Hindu' stated "The endearing small-town milieu and sharp humour outweigh the loopholes in this crime comedy". Gabbeta Ranjith Kumar of 'The Indian Express' stated "This Swaroop RSJ starring Taapsee Pannu and a bunch of talented kids makes for a delightful watch". L Ravichander of 'Telangana Today' stated "Mishan Impossible is a whiff of fresh air in the context of Tollywood to a cinema".
