Ratings and reviews

A great and confronting portrayal of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. What the news didnt tell you were the brave staff that stayed behind to protect the guests. This movie honors their bravery and commitment in the face of death.

Wow. Every story arc was deeply felt and brilliantly acted. Without realising, I visited almost every location attacked 10 years later. To see this film now, having been inside these locations, is truly heart-wrenching.

Why did you have to said that this film was done in Adelaide Australia... with that information(wasnt need it)..It put me off to watch the Film...I was looking forward to be in mumbai..not in adealide...sometimes leave little things for the viewer to watch...
