MUMBAI: The unfortunate event which took place on November 2008 which we know as the 26/11 has some disturbing memories. The events which took place in Taj Hotel, Cama Hospital, CST railway station and a few more places has been portrayed in few films.
Now another series rolled out based on journalist Sandeep Unnithan’s book Black Tornado: The Three Sieges of Mumbai 26/11 revealed many unknown facts about the country’s worst terrorist attacks to date.
The series very nicely tried to depict what was the scenario back then and the necessary measures that were taken for saving the lives of the people.
The highlight of the series is the strong dialogues, powerful screenplay and the gripping storyline. It informs us about the details of the event on how the NSG (National Security Guards) and the police put their lives on stake to save the hostages and rescue the maximum number of people then could.
The visual impact of not using any artificial lights is quite evident in the series.
