It’s a chapter in Mumbai’s history that we’ll never forget, so a movie on the attacks should have left you more than just comfortably numb.

It had the potential to be both smart procedural, and spiffy action, but ’26/11′ sinks somewhere in the middle.

The Attacks of 26/11 is a powerful subject watered down by ineffective story-telling. This could have and should have been so much more.

I have a headache. My ears are still ringing. The nausea is just about abating. Post-traumatic stress disorder after seeing a movie called The Attacks of 26/11.

Ram Gopal Varma is still not back to his best and The Attacks of 26/11 isn’t an unqualified triumph. But it is certainly watchable.

The date is unforgettable. When terror scarred the face of Mumbai in one blood-soaked gash of death and mass destruction. Held to ransom, ravaged by horror, imbued with venom of a genocidal mass murder that made us all question – ‘Why? Why Us?’
