RATING:- 3/5
STORY:- The movie starts off with Joint Commissioner of Police, Rakesh Maria (Nana Patejar), narrating the shocking events of 26/11 to a committee. He starts by narrating how the 10 terrorists entered the Mumbai through the Gateway of India by hijacking a boat. One of the terrorists is a 20-yar old, innocent looking Ajmal Kasab (Sanjeev Jaiswal). The terrorists come in with a set plan and distribute themselves to attack different areas of the city. While two of them attack the famous Leopold Café, two go for the famous Taj Hotel, killing and hurting people in large numbers. They spare neither women nor children. Kasab along with one of his partners attacks the crowded VT station leaving behind a trail of destruction. How the police force fights back and regains control of the city forms the rest of the story.POSITIVE:
Taj Hotel created in the movie is fantastic and Ramu’s portrayal of characters is believable and convincing.
How police officials suffered and the sense of loss experienced by people is very clearly shown. There are some strikingly effective scenes in the movie.
The improvised high capacity magazines held together with duct tape,switching on and off the AK 47′s full auto mode etc..
Speaking of performances, Sanjeev Jaiswal bears remarkable resemblance to Ajmal Kasab.Nana Patekar has given a top notch, seasoned performance and his role is key to the film.
Other actors including Atul Kulkarni and Ganesh Yadav have portrayed their character as police officers with ease.
Though most of the events are well known to the public, RGV has still succeeded in keeping the interest of viewers alive in the first half.
NEGATIVE:-
The director has chronicled the events effectively in the first half, but changes direction completely in the second half.
Nana Patekar’s narration can get very slow at times and may test the patience of viewers in the second half of the movie.
Sanjeev Jaiswal overplays his role at times. After seeing the brutal attacks on VT Station and Leopold Cafe, you expect to see the storming of the Taj by NSG commandos.
FINALWORD:-
Movie is realistic and Finally there is no satisfaction at the end of the story
RATING:- 3/5
