The horrific attacks of 26/11 may have jolted the entire city of Mumbai, but never crippled it. There aren't many cities in the world that can rival Mumbai's swiftness in getting back to its feet. Anthony Maras' take on the barbaric night in the form of Hotel Mumbai is a jolting cinematic experience that transports you back to 2008.

Before this, Ram Gopal Varma attempted to narrate the same story keeping Ajmal Kasab at the centre of the narrative. And on the other side of the plot was Nana Patekar as Rakesh Maria. Their investigation scenes gave us an insight into Kasab's psyche and why he did what he did, what compelled him to choose the path of terrorism. In this movie, we get a more meticulous portrayal of the same tragedy.
