Heartbreaking movie, watch with patience

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2019)

As the name suggest and as can be seen in the trailer the movie depicts the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, however the movie revolves only around the shooting which took place in Taj Hotel.
I have watched couple of movies which are based on the same event. Hotel Mumbai is different from all of them because it is circumstantial. Although the plot is unsurprising, the direction keeps the audience engage. Taj was under attack for about 9 hours in real time and the movie length is about 2 hours so, be prepared for continuous gun shooting and people dying.
The actors both American and Indian have done a remarkable job. The lead actor, Dev Patel has emerged to be a fine actor, who demonstrates how presence of mind can help you save your life. Other actors have also done justice to narrative.
All in all, I felt it was a stretch and could have been more appealing if the duration was less or the rescue by the forces and tactical planning by agencies was shown.
I will rate it 7/10.
