State of Siege: 26/11

State of Siege 26/11 documents what happened in 2008 and celebrates the valour of the men in uniform. Based on Sandeep Unnithan's book Black Tornado: The Three Sieges of Mumbai 26/11, the show tries to give a detailed account of what happened during the operation and how our security forces succeeded in saving several lives despite faulty equipment and lack of funds.

As the author of the book, Sandeep Unnithan admits the show takes some creative liberties in order to make it more engaging for the viewers. But, it doesn't deviate much from the book. It doesn't over-dramatise the terror attacks to factor in the patriotism quotient and focuses on the characters without making heroes out of them, even though they are so in real life.

Show takes it peak from Episode 5. Episode 1-4 is just politics and pushing propoganda. Real story starts from episode 5.

Every character in the series played their rol so beautifully and naturally. Arjun Bijlani's role is best suited to him as a commissioner. Vivek dahiya also played his role too good. The series plots the story of the mumbai terror attack at Taj Hotel. The script writer and director of the series showed it in a very natural style.

State of Siege 26/11 will remind you of all the documentaries, films and shows based on the Mumbai terror attacks, but what is unique about this show is that it narrates the story from the perspective of the NSG.

Its an incredible and interesting series which had been never seen before. I glad to see this series.
