The movie superbly throws light on the many aspects of terrorism in a mature and moving way. The film highlights how the ulterior motive of the terrorists is self-centered, their philosophy is hypocritical and how no one can escape the deadly paws of terrorism. For example, there is a sequence showing the attackers incessantly shooting the innocent crowd at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and how they spared none - be the burqa-clad Muslim women, the Hindu priest, the rich and the poor, the foreign nationals, children and even animals.
It is a film that is completely performance driven. I would like to throw a word of praise for the casting director here. Debutante Sanjeev Jaiswal, as one of the two key members of the cast, has worked extremely well to portray Ajmal Kasab's character on screen. For Nana, this film substantiates the fact that he can pull off thoughtful, powerful and serious roles like a pro.
After a string of flops, for RGV (who had earlier delivered successful films like 'Satya', 'Company') this is a comeback of sorts. 'The Attacks of 26/11' will help the filmmaker redeem the 'brilliant director' tag. Now I know why he said that this film has been his most challenging project till date. Because recreating terror and its aftermath on celluloid is no mean feat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
