HOTEL MUMBAI (English/Hindi) - A decent attempt coming too late with nothing inventive enough moving beyond the already known. [TTP (To The Point) Review by Bobby Sing]

Based on the horrifying Mumbai terror attacks of 26/11 in 2008, HOTEL MUMBAI has been directed by Australian director Anthony Mars, who narrates it from a different viewpoint of what happened inside the Taj Hotel and how the brave employees saved the life of their reputed guests facing the gunshots.

The director does it well with an eye for detail and an amalgamation of real and fictional characters also work fine supported by praise-worthy performances of both Anupam Kher and Dev Patel. However, what doesn’t work is the ‘all seen before’ feel throughout the film and the release coming too late, when we have already witnessed several other versions of the subject in films, documentaries and detailed news reports. In fact, a lot of sequences and phone conversations between the young terrorists and their masterminds are included exactly as heard in original recordings revealed in documentaries such as TERROR IN MUMBAI and more.
