I saw this movie 2-3 times.The Attacks of 26/11 is a 2013 Indian docudrama thriller film directed by Ram Gopal Varma, based on the 2008 Mumbai attacks.The real-life story of eight terrorists, who sail to Mumbai and wage war on the populace for the next 24 hours.Score 7 /10 Director Mr. Ram Gopal Verma has done good work. He has very balanced approach about this extra sensitive Terror Attack on Mumbai on 26/11. He has enhanced the emotional quotient of this film by adding some very fine nuisances in taking and presentation. Hats off to Mr.
Director, for making this film without inserting any commercial aspect. His intention was just to pay homage to the person and Police men killed in this unfortunate attack simultaneously he condemned the terror attack without naming or underlining any religion. Director also tried to avoid unnecessary violence, without showing a crying baby being shot he shown the gun shot sound and the baby’s crying sound went mum. Writer Mr. Rommel Rodrigues’s work is very good. He conceived the film and scenes without being influenced by any prejudice. Scenes are good except few ones who sounded exaggerated for example, receptionist at Taj, tried to save the kid, when all the attackers are roaming around her. It was absolute filmy.
He highlighted the emotions by adding few scenes, for example Terrorist asks for water and killed the person after drinking it, old person killing in Cama Hospital. Dialogues are very good. Performance wise Nana Patekar is brilliant. Actor Sanjeev Jaiswal who portrayed the character of Ajmal Kasab is also brilliant. Rest are fine. Action Director Mr. Javed Aejaz’work is impressive. Art work by Udai Prakash Singh is also good. DOP(Harshraj shroff and M. Ravichandran Thevar) work is fine too. Background score by Amar Mohile supports well the film.
