Oscar worthy and brilliant film of the year!!

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2019)

In India's history, there has never been a terrorist incident that was as spine chilling as the one that happened in Mumbai on November 26, 2008 in terms of scale and sheer audacity. The entire country could not believe their eyes and were glued to news channels. 😡 This incident was India's 9/11.
This brilliant film takes us on a journey of how just 4 terrorists took siege of the landmark Taj Hotel, killing indiscriminately and destroying portions of the hotel with grenades till the NSG commandoes finally barged inside and shot them dead. It also highlights how the head chef Mr. Hemant Oberoi along with the brave hotel staff shielded a lot of guests and finally rescued them. 🙏
Let me firstly say, that this is the most realistic film I have seen in a long long while. It is not for the faint hearted and contains some really violent and shocking scenes. At many times, the movie gives the impression that we are watching the actual Mumbai terror attacks LIVE from within the hotel. 😱 That's the kind of movie it is. Not even a moment of relief and edge of the seat, white knuckle thriller.
I must say, that the director has done a fabulous job in making this outstanding movie and won't be surprised if this movie gets nominated in "Best Picture" category at the Academy Awards. Who knows, it might even win the Oscar next year. 😀 Afterall, if an average movie like Slumdog Milionaire can win it, then this movie is definitely a million times better. 😀
My rating: 9/10
