Subhash K Jha revisits Ram Gopal Varma’s finest filmmaking with the drama The Attacks Of 26/11 that released in 2013.
Somewhere in Ram Gopal Varma’s The Attacks Of 26/11, the re-telling of the saga of the bloodbath, torrential shower of bullets and bombs that rained down on Mumbai on 26 November 2008, a little child sitting lost amidst a carpet of corpses in the posh hotel lobby of the Taj weeps on the gleaming white marble floor now reduced to a bloodied mess. We then hear another round of gunfire, and then the child’s weeping ceases.
The way the soundtrack is used to denote unimaginable brutality and violence in that sequence reminded me of the massacre sequence in Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay, where Gabbar Singh sadistically raises a gun, points it at a defiant child (Master Alankar) and then the soundtrack cuts to the sound of a train chugging into the railway platform.
