The Attacks Of 26/11 – A survivor’s tale…!



Cast: Nana Patekar & Sanjeev Jaiswal
Director: Ram Gopal Varma.
Producer: Parag Sanghvi
Duration: 116 Minutes
The movie starts as a monologue of Rakesh Maria depositing the entire sequence of 26/11 Mumbai attacks right from its inception to end before an enquiry committee. I do not intend to stress up on the story line much as there is no need to reiterate the ghastly act, which is very well evident to all.
Credits to Ram Gopal Varma for the way he has dealt the movie. He has showed the entire movie from 26/11 survivor’s point of who were present at Leopold CafĂ©, Cama Hospital and Taj. A situation where in a society is subjected to various emotions of fear, anger, frustration, helplessness & courage at the same time is portrayed spectacularly by RGV. The only negative comment I can make is about the amount of gore in the movie which is very disturbing.  
Coming to the main characters, Nana Patekar who played the role of Rakesh Maria Joint Commissioner of Police (Mumbai) is simply outstanding. Nana Patekar Commissioner of Police (Mumbai), acts as a man caught between the emotions of fear, anger, frustration, helplessness & courage is truly phenomenal. Check the last 30 minute sequence of the movie and you will know what I am talking about. Sanjeev Jaiswal as Kasab was equally brilliant.
Intense dialogues, powerful performances and some astounding background score just adds up to the movie.
The last scene before the Interval (In railway station) & the scene at Morgue portrays the brilliance of RGV.
Watch this movie for sure as you get to see it from the eyes of those brave people who survived, who acted and who won against this ghastly act.
Rating: 3.5/5
