State of Siege: 26/11

American director Matthew Leutwyler tells us the story of brave National Security Guard (NSG) commandos who played a very big role in bringing down the terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26, 2008. We have seen many films or documentaries on the 26/11 attacks, however, State of Seige still a brilliant representation of the events and you will know as you read further.

Cast: Arjan Bajwa, Arjun Bijlani, Vivek Dahiya, Mukul Dev, Tara Alisha Berry

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.

A good series that gives us an in depth look at the events of 26/11.

Felt like Arjun Bijlani overacted.

Story was engaging and the terrorists played an okay role.

They tried really hard to make it a good series but there was still some bad acting.

Gave them an extra star for their effort.

The show, with eight episodes of around 35 minutes each, begins with the politics of sanctioning budget for NSG, who are struggling with funds and dealing with rationing of weapons and ammunition.....

While the concept is engaging, it completely misses on good acting and execution. There is no feel to the scenes be it when there are killing happening or those patriotic scenes. Technically, Dialogues are way too simplistic, acting is average and props like guns, beard etc. look fake from a mile. NSG casting was average and was not represented correctly like their uniform, Their hair could have definitely been shorter

I think this a low budget series hence gets impacted on technicalities.
