The attacks of 26/11




Cast: Nana Patekar, Sanjeev Jaiswal
Director: Ram Gopal Varma
Genre: History, Crime
 
Not a bad watch overall but less impactful
 
Pluses:
  • Ram Gopal Verma tries to reiterate the entire drama of 26/11 on screen. As far as the re enactment ofthe whole situation is concerened, he fared well. You can relive the horror of that night. How cold blooded murderers can be, with absolutely no discrimation between rich and poor, women or children, caste or creed, animals or human..just blind massacre. We may not have known the fact in such detail, the visual impact was convincingly very gory and horrible
  • Nana Patekar was good to the eyes after a long time on big screens
  • Sanjeev Jaiswal was good as long as he was seen in action and less in words
 
Minuses:
  • If not for the last half an hour, the movie would have fared well. They screwed the last half an hour, totally out of sync. Missing out on so many other important aspects of the whole reality and discoordinated sudden ending by jumping in to the hanging of 'Kasab'. They could have instead covered more ground realities and wrapped up hanging of Kasab in silent letters
  • After you have watched, Zero Dark Thirty, you surely will have many tips to give to Indian film makers who make movies on similar lines. A landmark history as important as this needs more explanations and more coverage any day
  • Nana Patekar, was not casted well, lacked the punch being in the authority of Joint Commissioner of police. A rather confused outlook and not much of actions taken from his end. His promotion move in career comes as surprise because of the way he was represented in the movie
  • Acting sucked from Sanjeev Jaiswal. As long as he wasnt speaking, he was good :)
 
 
 
My Rating: 2.5/5
