While the director is striving very hard to handle his reputation as a phenomenal film-maker, comes a shabby work by him which not only plays with the emotions of people affected by the theme of this movie, but also stems his future.
The Attacks of 26/11 is a gimmick which tells you a story more of the involved terrorist Kasab than talking about the actual happenings. The first half is average with information easily read, reviewed & published on media. It involves most of the killing part and how the terrorists grapple the whole city with their shenanigans. With soundtrack copied from Max Payne's theme music, it couldn't get worse with the second half which is utterly boring & monotonous. Moreover, it only focuses on Kasab, his worships & beliefs, & Nana Patekar, who didn't go well with the character he portrayed. Conversation goes boring as we expect more action on screen. Soon after, the lead officer tells us about the attacks reaching its crescendo, the movie shuts off with further dull screenplay.
Performances are great and vivid, with the lead players doing well for being débutantes. I appreciate RGV's talent in that, but the music is bad, screenplay is average and cinematography is poor. Writing, as i told, is improper, flaccid & vague. Plus, the climax makes it worse and I personally feel, that should NOT have been included in a movie which boasts off of a title so oblivious with its own story.
The Attacks of 26/11 is not a must-watch because you know everything about it, just like Kathryn Bigelow's 0Dark30. But, if you wait for the DVD and rent one to reconnect with the way Mumbai Police, judicial system works and to reinvent the sentiments of the gruesome attacks, I would recommend it for the sheer vendetta pleasure!
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
