Almost accurately portrayed.

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2019)

Almost because many characters and some situations were works of fiction. But thats forgivable since the makers were out to make a movie that would sell, and a mere documentary wouldn't. That said, the inserts borrowed from 'real' footage of the incident helped immensely to add grit to this movie.
For people claiming this movie is more drama, would probably be better off watching the real 1.5 hr footage that was filmed back then, while people asserting its too gory might be better off watching something else.
Lastly, I found the movie wonderfully done portraying the chaos that went rampant that night. Pity it took 10 years for this movie to be made that too as an Australian production. Pity again that Bollywood with all its recent obsession with biopics and real acts of heroism and valor, failed to commemorate the lives lost on that day by capturing it on reel.
